Guest guest Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 Healing: Distant Healing By Michael Arvey " Eventually the art of healing will be one of the demonstrating factors in proving the unity of all souls. " - Dwal Khul, Esoteric Healing " Prana is present in atoms and their constituents. It is behind the energy fields into which matter is resolved at dissolution...It is an element of the universe infinitely subtle and more complex than the element we call matter. " - - Gopi Krishna, Living With Kundalini In the early 1990's, I once wrote to Mother Meera, one of the Divine Mothers presently embodied on earth. She represents that aspect of the Divine Mother known as Durga. In east Indian spiritual lore, Durga is She who helps us to cross the ocean of samsara, or the relative world, to that state of life which is eternal, the state of enlightenment It is said that Durga is also the one who turns the mind away from evil and establishes it in the pursuit of good. For many in India, Durga is a chief focus for worship. In this instance, Mother Meera lives and is based in Germany. Each year thousands of people pilgrimage there to receive darshan, the presence of the Divine. Such visits have been known to change the course of lives. Since I was not in a position to travel to Germany, I chose to ask and write for darshan from a distance-I was located in Colorado. Within two weeks, one night just before retiring as I lay in bed, I was stunned and mystified to feel an energy enter my legs and move up the rest of my body. I wasn't in a state of bliss or ecstasy-just wonderment at the experience. I was the recipient of an energetic blessing and hello, and I had had no idea it would arrive such as this. I fell asleep within a short time after putting two and two together-it must be the Mother! From around the world, I had been targeted by the descent of Grace. Little did I realize that within a few years, I would myself be " sending " spiritual energy around the world. I would be calling the event, distant healing. Recently I broadcast a healing to a woman who had suffered a major car accident fourteen months earlier. The bones in her face had been crushed, both ulnas in her arms shattered, both hips broken, and various other injuries had been incurred. Within those fourteen months, however, she had made a tremendous comeback after surgeries, physical therapy, and much alternative healing. She was still working on the physical aspects of her condition, and also the spiritual aspects of her condition, as she had been on the path of Light for many years. She asked if I might work on some etheric and chakral healing issues for her at a distance, since there was a 200-mile or so distance between us. We set up our appointment. In doing the healing, or clearing as I also call it, powerful energy surged in and through our bodies, from head to toe. Throughout the session, it streamed to the head and brain centers, her forearms, her legs and feet, heart and solar plexus. More remarkably, the consciousness of the session was thrilling-deep, expansively spacious, settling down to where awareness of the physical body became awareness of the bliss and Light body, a replication of what I imagine as being like the stillness of space. The following are excerpts from her description of the experience: " You deserve a bona fide certificate in Radiance healing. There was very much heat in my head, especially the left side. Very peaceful, not discordant in the least, huge clearing of space for new space. Experienced solar plexus and legs and arms as well. Much on the emotional. Feel immensely clear and centered. Feel a huge shift with some dead static energy that has been clogging my conscious field for some time, prior to car crash. Am very thankful and pleased with the aligning and clearing and motivation. Thank you very much for this great gift that resonates beyond Time and Space. Definitely felt the clear work in the heart. There was a lot of balancing things, energy attention moving from one space to another and triggering other energy actions. VERY VERY NICE. " The session achieved a much desired effect on the client. But how exactly does distant healing work, assuming that it does? How do people like Mother Meera send their darshan? Can energy be sent? What kind of energies are these? My effort shall be to convey some possibilities within the context of my own experience and thought as well as incorporating some commentary by other writers on the subject. Einstein's Universe How often have we heard that all the universe is an infinite sea of energy in subtle and gross forms? The gross form being that of creation, all that rests or walks in manifestation. The generally accepted view of matter in many circles is that it is compressed, or crystalized energy. It is the end result of stepped-down energies from the source of all energy and creation. Depending on one's background, education and belief systems, that source might be called the vacuum state, the ground state, pure Being, pure consciousness, God, and so forth. In my experience, there are numerous stepped-down energies. Most of the commentary I've encountered on the subject lump all energies into one but label them differently. Subtle energy has been called chi, ki, manna, life force, prana, cosmic breath, etc. Ayurvedic medicine sees the body as interrelated fields, each field and its corresponding systems being governed by a particular prana. These pranic flows are a part of other overlaying fields called doshas-kapha, pitta, vata. In yoga kundalini systems, prana is nearly synonymous with kundalini, with a subtle difference. The kundalini is the consciousness in the driver's seat, and prana is the vehicle. Another old adage puts it succinctly, " Force is the horse, consciousness is the rider. " As awakened kundalini rises up from the base of the spine, it awakens and unifies the chakras and their fields and brings in its wake higher states of consciousness. What disturbs me at times is the notion that all energy is equally flat and democratic, when in fact the universe is hierarchically organized as far as energies and consciousness goes. Using a vertical model for how we might metaphorically understand the universe, the highest point in the structure would contain the finest energy, which is a reflection or expression of the consciousness behind the energy. Of what utility is any energy not directed and used in an organized manner? As we slide down the vertical scale, energy becomes less fine, grosser, less capable of expressing and holding higher consciousness, in particular pure consciousness, the ground state and foundation of all our experience in the relative world. All mystical, metaphysical, and spiritual traditions have endeavored to infuse, reorganize, and transmute humanity's energy fields and structures with higher vibrational frequencies from above. Esoterically speaking, this is known as alchemy and it works down to subatomic levels, transforming a person's energetic fields into a brilliant diamond Lightbody. At each frequency, or dimension, exists worlds upon worlds of beings in subtler energetic forms than we in our 3D existence. Many traditions speak of Higher Beings-we know of them through our religions, our prophets, our secret and not-so- secret spiritual orders, we know them through subjective experience. And many know that the Higher Beings are just like us in essence, only they have evolved to a finer plane of existence. They exhibit qualities of love, compassion, mercy, understanding, intelligence, power. They demonstrate great energy, and service to the Oneness of existence, the beingness in all of us. We are all beads on a string around the creator's neck - some of us are simply closer. In our neck of the universe (the earth is on the outer fringes) we are aided and abetted by a spiritual Hierarchy of Ascended Masters, those who have established themselves in their soul consciousness and have no need to incarnate on the planet. By virtue of its nature, that being, or Self (Higher Self, Soul, Jiva-for expediency's sake I use these terms interchangeably, though some schools of thought might make issue of this-it's really a question of degree), partakes of the highest and most powerful energy available, precisely because it is unbounded. Robert E. Cox in his book The Pillar of Celestial Fire and the Lost Science of the Ancient Seers presents another way of looking at matter and energy as it is structured throughout creation: Ordinary human awareness is locked onto the various forms of matter and energy that exist within our local region of the Universe. According to the non-local vision of the ancient Seers, human beings live in the outermost of seven concentric layers of universal life that collectively form the Cosmic Egg. These seven layers of universal life are filled with subtle matter energy or celestial fire. Because they appear to be blazing with celestial fire, in the Revelations of John they were described as seven flames, and were identified with the seven universal spirits of God. Cox continues to explain the Vedic tradition as identifying those seven layers as seven higher worlds of existence, called Sapta Lokas. These include the Galactic world, the astral or dream world, the Shining Heaven world, the World of Great Souls, the World of Divine Beings, the World of Evolutionary Fire, and the World of Truth. Those seven spirits of God, according to Cox, also " collectively constitute the Holy Spirit. " In other traditions the seven spirits that Cox speaks of are known as the seven Mighty Archangels who preside over God's universe. This celestial fire, or Holy Spirit, consists of the finest energy in creation. In yogic traditions, celestial fire is often viewed as kundalini energy, sometimes referred as Divine Mother energy. The Mother of all energies, she creates the universe, the womb within which all else takes form and moves in life. The Father, or Shiva in the same tradition, is pure Being in its stillness. Celestial fire could also be termed the cosmic fire serpent as it relates to kundalini shakti, though humans have both a personal and a universal connection to it. Through experience and study, we can know of some of these graduations of energy that exist all around us. In my work with in-person and distant healing, I've noticed a huge distinction between ordinary chi, ki, or prana, and that which is governed by the soul and kundalini energies, which have enough Presence to transform basic Egg energy into Grade AAA. The universe isn't simply composed of a roiling ocean of prana-there are differing frequencies. From the relative prana to that prana which exists nearest the absolute, the energy is more refined on evolved levels of existence. How does distant healing work in my and other healer's cases? I have some ideas. Distant Healing-Do Time and Space Exist? As my healing path continues to delicately unfold and spiritual activations descend, I am awed by the internal transformations that necessarily accompany the sweet blossomings. I am also fascinated by the differences I perceive between long distance healing methods. The methodologies are based on the same broad premise, yet the methods themselves have distinct variations and magnitudes. There are levels to everything in life, and healing is no exception. For example, perhaps one method is best suited for physical healing, another for emotional healing, and another for soul healing. And within those parameters there may be extensive to moderate ranges of effectiveness. Prana requires a navigator to set a course of action. Who will steer the energy? How does it know where to go in the client? How does it find the client half way around the world? These pose complex questions that perhaps science will one day come to terms with and will endeavor to elucidate the physical laws, or extraphysical laws, behind these phenomenas. In the meantime, I offer my own observations and notions, both as a healer and observer of this work. Bringing Home the Light We have noted that varying pranas exist and flow through the seven major centers in the etheric body. From the crown to the root chakra, these are vyana, prana, udana, prana, samana, apana and apana. These prana vayus, or winds, as they are called, move in different directions and are the prevailing " winds " in the subtle body that determine the body's state of health or disease. The body cannot exist without pranic life forces, just as it can't exist without food and water. In short, each chakral center conveys distinct frequencies of energy. These are borne upon different rays. The healer who utilizes his centers to heal from, in a radiatory sense of work, has a advantage over those who simply work from the palm centers unless their other centers are involved in the healing, and frequently they are not. In addition, there stands a small limitation in regard to distant healing and the use of hands. The healer generally requires a photograph of the sendee, and either holds it or beams energy through the hands at it. In some systems, symbols are required to activate and send the energy. But I remember one of the favorite dictums of a guru of mine long ago: Do less, and accomplish more. In my experience, the use of symbols are cumbersome contrivances at the soul level of energetic healing, whose innate intelligence guides, inspires, and motivates the life forces. In fact, one healer might agree with my view. According to descriptions in his book, Advanced Pranic Healing, Choa Kok Sui speaks of a " higher form of pranic healing, " Divine Light healing, which sounds surprisingly close to what I do. He talks of Divine energy being sent down from the Holy Ones, the Masters and Archangels and such, through the soul of the healer either into the soul of the client or into the patient's etheric and physical bodies. This is seen as a flood of electric-violet or brilliant white light coming down, according to Sui, which thereby rapidly cleanses and energizes the entire body of the client. (Occasionally a client of mine will see colors in the mind, and violet, blue, green and white are most common.) He speaks of this Divine energy as having a consciousness of its own, knowing where to go and what to do. This has been precisely my experience, with a couple of modifications. One, I believe that once such energy arrives from the upper, out- of- physical- body chakral centers to the soul chakra (above the head) of the healer, that energy becomes integrated so fully with the soul that it is no longer distinguishable as energy from above. The energy can derive from the healer's own higher self, or can combine with the energy of others from above. Two, the healer in this instance does not, again, require the use of hands to send and direct energy though pictures, which Sui describes as procedural. Soul energy has its own hands. Sui says the healer should touch the pictures of the clients during the healing to establish stronger etheric links. Among other things, he says to concentrate on the crown and the ajna (third eye) chakras, and then draw divine energy from above down into the hands and project this energy to the pictures. I haven't found it necessary to follow such specific instructions. Rather, all happens naturally and spontaneously, and one need only to hold the client's mind name in his awareness. Soul energy automatically will course through the crown and will project through the ajna if it is required.. Another system declares that the energy it works with is directed by inner guides and masters, and this may very well be so. Yet some of the claims feel out of proportion to the actual results of the healings, as in for example, calling it the Christ energy, Kuan Yin's energy, and so forth. One must cast a discerning eye at what appear to be vast confusions amid the healing arena. Concerning distant healing, theoretical applications are often similar, but methodologies are subject to deviations. Another fascinating aspect to this subject is how distant healing locates its intended client amid the five billion or so human bodies on the planet! ----- to be continued ----- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
