8/30/2009 Mike's spiritual guide to your energy 'I now know we can all channel energy'
Angie Buxton is the only spiritual healer working within the NHS. She tells Julia Stuart how her own experiences of illness and loss led the way to her new career
Like most people who come across healers, Gary Shadbolt was sceptical. But when he was diagnosed with mantle cell lymphoma in April this year there was one thing that persuaded the 44-year-old IT worker to give it a go - the sessions were being offered on his ward at University College Hospital, London. Like most people who come across healers, Gary Shadbolt was sceptical. But when he was diagnosed with mantle cell lymphoma in April this year there was one thing that persuaded the 44-year-old IT worker to give it a go - the sessions were being offered on his ward at University College Hospital, London. Angie Buxton is the only paid healer within the NHS. She works three days a week at UCH's haematology unit, channelling what she describes as "healing energy" into willing patients via her hands, which she places both on and off the body. The process has nothing to do with religion. The 30-minute sessions take place either in the patient's room or in a small, tranquil treatment room, painted pink and smelling of lavender. "Many patients have used healing to relieve side effects, alleviate pain and help with depression and stress, all of which can create a more positive attitude," says her leaflet, which persuaded Gary to try the complementary therapy. "It has been well documented that a positive attitude can greatly enhance your quality of life. This can be very difficult for patients to achieve in the hospital and healing will often help to create it naturally." Angie knows how much effort it takes to keep positive, having lost both her mother and younger son to illness. In 1988 her mother was diagnosed with inoperable ovarian cancer. It was while she was at the Bristol Cancer Centre, which specialises in complementary treatments, that Angie first came across healing. "I was sitting in the room while my mother was having healing and my hands got really hot and I felt flushed, and the lady who was giving the treatment said it was a sure sign that I could channel energy. I now know that everybody can channel energy," says Angie, 47. After her mother's death eight months later Angie, who worked as as an airport duty manager before having two children, tooka number of courses run by the National Federation of Spiritual Healers. She also trained as a reiki master (reiki is an ancient Japanese philosophy of hands-on healing). In 1995, her seven-year-old son, Sam, was diagnosed with leukaemia. "It seemed to me that everything I had learnt and played around with suddenly had a purpose after the initial shock had worn off," says Angie, who gave him healing every day at Great Ormond Street Hospital. "His journey was just amazing compared to that of his peers. His hair fell out, but he didn't have side effects, apart from fevers, but they didn't keep him in bed. He could have had any life-threatening disease." But Sam's diagnosis was very poor. "I and my then-husband were told that he would not respond to chemotherapy and would probably pass over in three or four months." Instead, with further conventional treatment that Angie insisted upon, as well as ongoing healing, he lived until he was 10. A year after his death, Angie approached the haematology unit at Great Ormond Street Hospital offering her services as a healer, in the hope of being able to help other children. "The doctors there were all very receptive, because they remembered Sam and how well he had done, but they didn't want to offer it to their patients," she says. She then approached the haematology department at University College Hospital, and was told they couldn't afford to pay her. "I said I don't want to be paid yet, give me an opportunity to prove a need, and if I can then you can pay me." She was given one day a week, and after a month of treating patients and staff, the feedback was so positive that the unit decided to employ her. That was four years ago. She now works three days a week and manages a team of two therapists who practise both aromatherapy and reflexology, a part-time counsellor and a hypnotherapist. Stephen Rowley, now a senior nurse in UCL's haematology unit, looked after Sam when he was at Great Ormond Street: "Healing really seemed to make a difference to the way he coped. All things considered, in Sam's particular case, he coped well, for an unusually long time. "The reality of acute haematology is that a number of patients won't achieve a long-term cure. Many will, but some won't. That makes the journey or experience through treatment all the more important and, from a health-provider perspective, relevant to what we provide. The idea of having treatments such as aromatherapy in a leukemia unit is about helping patients cope by providing some positive experiences to balance the negative. Healing was taking the next step into this ethos - a relaxing physical experience, but also a hugely significant and profound psychological experience for some. "Many of the staff here now have seen the benefits of Angie's healing. Many have experienced it themselves. Whatever the mechanism is, it helps many patients cope with their treatment. That is for sure. That may be by helping patients to cope better with nausea or pain, or helping them cope with the roller-coaster of stresses and emotions that treatment entails. For patients for whom treatment options have run out, who are now facing death, healing seems to be a way to bridge the gap to a state of mind that helps them cope. And not in a desperate manner either, but often in a calm, rational and peaceful way." Gary had about a dozen sessions with Angie from April to August this year. "It just seemed to relax me, which was very important," says Gary, who also had reflexology. "It helped me get through the week and took a lot of the stress away. It's very difficult to put your finger on whether it does you any good, but I got through the treatment with very few side effects. I see it as another tool in the armoury to get me through the disease. Angie said that various parts of my body were reacting because I was concerned about my wife and how she was coping. Your left leg, apparently, is connected with emotions and family, and I did notice sometimes during the treatment that my left leg shuddered and my hands would rise off the bed." Angie says that a patient's body may jerk as the energy moves through his or her pain. "I work on the philosophy that everybody is made up of vibrating energy, and if there is a blockage there then the energy kicks against it and makes it move. Patients often feel very light and see colours if they've got their eyes shut. Some people, if they're close to death, will have an out-of-body experience." Jilma Defreitas, 49, a patient with sickle cell anaemia who has been having sessions with Angie for almost three years, finds healing gives her a break from pain. "At first I was sceptical, but it's brilliant," she says. "It's another dimension. You can almost fall asleep, and with sickle cell you're in pain most nights. After I've had a session I feel as though I have had a good sleep. I feel refreshed. For 25 minutes you are somewhere else and it's a pleasant feeling." There have also been a lot of sceptics among staff. Lucy Curry, a nurse on the ward, was one of them, but changed her mind following a treatment. "It's like sunbathing for four hours," she says. "You get a lovely, glowing feeling and you're instantly relaxed." Isobel Salisbury, a receptionist on the unit, has found the therapy profoundly helpful. "I had a lot of personal problems from my past haunting me," she says. "While I was working on the ward I had some bad news, and was encouraged to try healing. It had a profound effect on me. It encouraged me to release a lot of pain and anger. It was a turning point in my life, and I've since moved on emotionally. Healing is very respected on this ward." When UCL Hospitals NHS Trust, which incorporates University College Hospital, opens its new hospital on Euston Road in 2005, Angie hopes to expand the service into oncology and paediatrics. She has also written a self-help book, The Healing Journey Home, which she hopes will be published soon. Angie is keen to point out that healers have no "unique powers". "We are ordinary people who have taken the time to look at complementary treatments," she says. "I believe that the destination is less important than the quality of the journey. Healing certainly enhanced the quality of Sam's journey." Every day, thousands more people all over the world hear about energy healing, a form of alternative medicine that involves tapping on certain parts of the body. For many people, the first time they hear about such a method of natural healing, they're naturally skeptical, if not outright disbelieving. It seems hard to believe that tapping on your hand, wrist, eyebrows, etc., could do much of anything for a person, let alone be a powerful way of healing addictions, phobias, and all kinds of other afflictions people suffer from. So what is the truth about energy healing? Does it really work? Well, according to most standard medical practitioners, and orthodox scientists, the answer is no, it doesn't. They say there's no scientific basis for such a therapy, and there's no proof that it actually does anything to relieve illness of any kind, whether mental, emotional, or physical. But is this the final word? No, because there is an increasing number of medical doctors, psychologists, and psychiatrists who believe that energy healing is a very effective, painless, risk free, and inexpensive form of healing. They say it works, and many of them not only say it, they incorporate it into their practices. To be sure, the first group greatly outnumbers the second group. But the second group is gaining converts all the time. And there is a lot of evidence to back them up. Hundreds of thousands of people all over the world have reported that they've experienced success with using EFT. Thousands of the reports are quite moving, with people telling stories about being delivered from a life long addiction or phobia that had made their life a living hell for decades. The mainstream medical authorities would write these stories off as nothing more than what's called "anecdotal evidence", and say that they don't prove anything. But the hundreds of thousands of people who've found help with energy healing would say that their stories aren't anecdotes, but proof of the life changing power of energy healing. If you ask any of them "energy healing-does it really work?", the answer would be a resounding yes. And more and more doctors are starting to agree with them. And one of these days the medical establishment will have to pay attention to these countless stories of people being healed with energy healing, and start taking it more seriously. It may take a while, but one of these days even they may admit that energy healing really works. Susan Hewitt is a sculptor and aspiring actress, and an enthusiastic proponent of EFT. She has not only seen the remarkable changes EFT can bring about in people in just a short time, she has also experienced it for herself.

There are now about five NHS homeopathic hospitals in the UK. * A survey of a random sample of UK family doctors carried out for the British Medical Association found that almost half the GPs who responded had arranged acupuncture for patients. Fifty-eight per cent had arranged some kind of CAM for patients, with osteopathy and homeopathy being next most popular. * The percentage of CAM funded by the NHS is difficult to judge. "It depends on where you are," says Professor Edzard Ernst, the head of the complementary medicine research unit at the Universities of Exeter and Plymouth. "Your GP or primary healthcare trust decides whether to offer CAM on the NHS." * The British Medical Association says that its approval is cautious: "CAM should be regulated to change the current unacceptable situation in which virtually anyone is free to practise, irrespective of training or experience." * The BMA always advises people to seek advice from their GP before embarking on a course of treatment. * Information on CAM and practitioners in your area is available from the British Complementary Medicine Association's website: www.bcma.co.uk. How Do You Channel Energy? The universal element of "ether" is the essence of life behind all plants, animals, and humans. It is also the most enigmatic and least understood element. Ether is omnipresent and available for all beings to harness. That's great you say…but then you ask, "How do I channel this energy?" 8/23/2009 Mike's Spiritual Guide to Chakras THE CHAKRA SYSTEM
*
In healing, the chakras of the patient are often of central importance to the healer as he or she works. Because the chakras are so important, and because in this Chios level you will begin to channel energy into them and sense the energy field above them, it is beneficial to gain some understanding of them. There are seven major chakras in the human body, and also numerous less-important minor ones. The chakras are energy centers, points of energy flow, and act as energy junctions in the body. They are energy processing centers, and the chakra system (comprised of the seven major chakras) is our energetic connection to the realm of pure consciousness and our spiritual essence. The energetic operations in them are what make every aspect of our bodily, emotional, mental and spiritual life possible. Each of the seven major chakras, or primary energy centers, has its own character and corresponds to a unique aspect of our being. They are patterns of energy, and are shaped something like funnels or whirlpools of energy. Their vortices lie inside the body, along the spinal cord (which corresponds to a central energy channel) and up into the head (see diagram).
Because the chakra system is the central processing center for every aspect of our being, blockage or other energetic dysfunction in the chakras usually gives rise to disorders in the body, mind or spirit. A defect in the energy flow through any given chakra will result in a defect in the energy provided to certain portions of the physical body, as well as an impairment in the entire energy field’s ability to process energy—affecting all levels of the being. This is because the energy field is a holistic entity; every part of it affects every other part. The chakras do not actually exist as “objects” in the physical body (they are actually energy patterns) but there are certain specific locations on the body, where you will place your hands, that correspond to the chakras, five along the spine, and two on the head. Each chakra also has a certain true color of the visible light spectrum associated with it—the intrinsic color of the chakra. Because the chakras are spiritual entities, it is impossible to convey a complete explanation of the nature of each chakra in words alone, but the table below will provide an introduction to the nature of each. Number Name/Location Character True Color 7 Crown of Head Totality of Beingness. Spiritual Perfection. Violet 6 Forehead (3rd Eye) Visualization. Psychic Sight. Indigo 5 Pit of Throat Communication. Creative Expression. Blue 4 Heart Universal Love. Compassion. Empathy. Green 3 Solar Plexus Creation of Self. Perception and Projection of Self. Yellow 2 Sacral (Pubic) Desire, Including Sexual Energy. Orange 1 Base of Spine Physical Vitality. Survival. Red Each of the seven chakras has both a front (usually dominant) component, and a rear (usually less dominant) component, which are intimately related. The seventh and first chakras, though, are usually represented and thought of as having only the one dominant component, as it is far, far more significant than the weaker component in these two chakras. The seventh chakra extends vertically upwards above the head. The first chakra extends forwards from the base of the spine, and downwards, at roughly a 45 degree angle, although its exact position will vary from person to person. The other five chakras, spaced between the first and seventh, have at their appropriate locations a front component extending out the front of the body and a rear component extending out the rear of the body. During energy channeling, the energy field healer receives the energy through his or her own chakra system, from all around, and from the Earth, too, which also acts as a conductor. The energy circulates in the entire universe, and conducts through the Earth, and also through the atmosphere, and into the healer’s body. When you “call in” the energy, you are receiving a greater quantity of it, so that you may pass it on, through your hands, into your patient. You receive the extra energy at first primarily through your first and seventh chakras, but later, with practice, through all your chakras equally. Aside from the entry of energy into the body through the seven major chakras, there is also an upward flow of energy in the body, from the lower to higher energy centers. The lower chakras are simpler-functioning, but as one ascends upwards there is a greater degree of sophisticated and more spiritual functioning, intimately related to the life experience and state of being of the individual. The seven chakras, with the correspondences that exist between them and different aspects of our being and the interrelationships between them, are of great importance to the energy field healer. It is important to know, however, that an “intellectual” understanding of the chakra system is not a useful adjunct to healing work. The true energy field healer will learn to expand his or her consciousness and experience each of the chakras as a realm of being. As you begin to sense the chakras, as you practice the passing of hands and energy channeling, you may wish to begin to allow some sense of the unique nature of each chakra form in your awareness. You may also begin to gain some insight into the condition of each chakra in your patients, as well. In later Chios healing levels, you will learn more advanced methods for expanding your awareness in order to sense the condition of, and treat, the chakra system of your patients.
CHAKRA SELF-HEALING The healer’s ability to sense the nature and function of the chakras, and the ability to obtain psychic information and guidance regarding conditions in them and how these conditions correlate with personal issues and life experiences, may used for the healer’s own growth: You may practice these techniques for the purpose of learning your own chakra system and the issues and experiences which compose your own personality. You can also charge and balance your own chakras:
Add to your knowledge of your chakras by performing an intuitive reading on your own chakra system—visualizing the body profile with the chakra colors in a rainbow above, as you do on your patients. Do you have chakras which are undercharged or impure? Do you have a pattern of imbalance in your chakra system? Working from a deep sense of each chakra, allow yourself to gain a pure sense of each chakra’s place in your life and awareness, and also a sense of which core issues in you may relate to energetic defects you may have detected in it. Do not struggle to gain this information, but merely let it come—in pictures, feelings, sounds or in whatever other way. Allow yourself to become aware of psychic information and guidance which will gently bring you to a higher state of awareness of your own psychology, life experience and physical, emotional, mental and spiritual state of being. In a state of quietness, open yourself to your chakras and the information you receive. This is also like a meditation. Perform, now, a distance healing on your chakras, without using your hands, to charge and balance them. Charge whichever of your chakras require it, using a visualization of the appropriate symbol in color and also a cloud of that color around the chakra. Rebalance your chakra system by raising or lowering the activity of chakras which require it, using the symbol related to the chakra in the necessary color(s) and a cloud of that color around the chakra. Charging and balancing your own chakras will help you in your life and growth, and will also give you greater effectiveness in your healing work. Unblocking and radiatory treatment of your chakras is best done for you by another healer—these techniques do not lend well to self-treatment.
BODY ENERGIES EXERCISE The self-knowledge of the healer is assisted in another way—through the learning of the body energies. In the process of self-knowledge, it is beneficial to learn the nature of the energies of the body, for this learning will assist in learning the energies and nature of the spirit. There is an exercise you may do that may assist in this, and will also add to your energy-directing abilities, which will contribute to your healing ability and your ability to effectively perform the Chios Healing Attunements:
This exercise can be continued for between 3 and 15 minutes, using all different locations in your body as locations for the energy, using a localized flow to specific body points, and holding the energy there, being aware all the while of the difference between where the energy is and where it is not present. This exercise will bring a greater awareness of the nature of the energy, from its ground in the body to its spiritual essence, and will open you to know it and become transparent to it. It is also good preparation for learning to direct the energy in your patients, which is used in treatment of some diseases, and in practicing the attunement procedures.
Congratulations on your decision to begin a study of energy field healing. Chios Level I is an introduction to this fascinating and important healing art. You will begin by learning to work with the energy. Every living thing that exists is permeated by a universal energy that connects and nourishes all life. This energy has been called by many different names, such as prana and chi. An “invisible” energy field composed of this life energy surrounds each human being. It is this energy field around each person which integrally supports the life process in all its aspects—the material operations of the physical body, the functions of the emotions and mind, and even the spiritual life. The energy in this field is not lifeless or inert—it is active and intelligent. It is conscious energy, a manifestation of the universal consciousness that is the source of each of us and the entire universe. The energy is one of the important expressions of the realm of pure consciousness, the spiritual source of life, in the manifested physical world. The energy field acts as a bridge, a connection, between the realm of pure spirit and the manifested world. It is both an indicator and a regulator of the manner in which the life force and higher potentials that exist within this higher realm are expressed in worldly life. If this energy field is clear, healthy and free from defects, the living person will likewise exhibit good health, in all its physical, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects. Innate health and harmony in body and mind, spiritual awareness and higher human potentials will all manifest in the person and in their life. Many times, however, dysfunctional energetic patterns are present in the energy field. When the flow of energy within this energy field becomes weak, impure, unbalanced or blocked, the energetic defects prevent the pure connection to the higher spiritual reality—the realm of pure consciousness and the true self of the person. This prevents the full and healthy expression of the living potential of the whole person and removes the natural condition of energetic health that is a requirement for physical, emotional, mental and spiritual well-being. The ultimate cause is usually traumatic experiences in the past (often including past lives) which have fragmented the psyche, allowed invasion of impure energies, and established faulty energy patterns into the functioning of the energy field. These three effects—personality fragmentation, invasion by unhealthy psychic energies and fundamental energetic defects in the aura and chakra system—usually occur together. These dysfunctional patterns in body, mind and spirit will vary from person to person, as each person is unique, but they eventually lead to problems in the worldly life. They will inhibit, in various ways particular to each person, the healthful and balanced functioning of body, mind and spirit which would otherwise be possible. Diseases or afflictions of a physical, emotional or mental nature often eventually become manifest. Energy field healing is the art of correcting energetic defects in the energy field. In energy field healing, the healer seeks to restore the flow of the energy to its strong, natural and healthy state and correct any defects that are present, thereby helping to restore and maintain health to the body, emotions, mind and spirit—to all levels of the being. The healer, in doing this, treats what may be the ultimate cause of disease. By treating ill conditions in the energy field, the healer may work to assist in the resolution of a disease condition which has already manifested in the physical body, or in the mental and emotional life of the patient. The activities of the healer may also serve to prevent future disease, by treating faulty energetic conditions in the patient’s energy field which might otherwise result in illness in the future, should they remain untreated. Additionally, the activities of the healer are beneficial simply because they enhance the entire life process of the patient, even if disease is not present, enhancing functioning of body, mind and spirit and enabling the patient to live a healthier, more balanced and fulfilling life. As an energy field healing treatment is performed, the healer conducts an extra measure of the universal life energy into the patient. This serves to supplement and enhance the overall health of the energy field. The healer also expands his or her awareness for the purpose of gaining information regarding the condition of the energy field of the patient—to detect energetic anomalies of various kinds. The healer then treats these faulty conditions by using various special techniques, to work with the field in various ways to correct the undesirable conditions that may be present. A skilled healer is therefore capable of supplementing and enhancing the health of the vital energetic life processes of the patient, upon which physical, emotional and mental health depend. Instrumental in the healer’s art is the acquisition of expanded awareness, for it is the healer’s expanded awareness that makes it possible for the healer to become fully aware of the condition of the energy field, and to acquire and use the various abilities and techniques that are useful in healing. To do this, the healer heals not from any specific state of mind, but from a wider realm of awareness—from the whole being. As afflictions of body, mind and spirit begin in the wider realm of consciousness—the whole being—so does the healer heal from that level. The healing provided is not merely a physical “curing,” but an emotional, mental and spiritual healing to the very core of the person’s being The first step in becoming an energy field healer is learning to channel the energy in a simple way by using your hands. You will acquire the ability to conduct this energy into your patient for the purpose of supplementing and enhancing your patient’s life processes, at all levels. You will benefit by receiving the first Chios energy attunement, a simple, safe procedure that will greatly assist you in opening the ability to channel this healing energy through your hands. You will then become able to draw a greater amount of this energy into your energy field, transfer it through your hands and into your patient during each healing treatment. To channel this universal energy in this way is a natural human ability that already resides within you, and yet the first-level attunement you receive will greatly accelerate and potentiate this energy-channeling ability, so that you may begin to practice this ability much more easily. You will also learn, in this first level, a simple technique that will enable you to begin to sense the energy field around your patient, through the use of your hands. The attunement given to you will also assist you in becoming more sensitive to the life energy, as it flows in and around the human body. You will acquire the ability to sense areas in your patient’s energy field that harbor energy defects. As you begin your practice of channeling energy into your patient, the patient’s energy field will use the energy you conduct in the way that is most needed. As you grow in your healing abilities, you will become increasingly more able to sense the energy, more aware of areas of disturbance or disease in your patient’s energy field, and more able to use the energy in various ways to benefit your patient. As your awareness and abilities increase, you will become a progressively more conscious participant in the healing taking place, and you will, should you continue your study of Chios energy field healing, learn some extremely powerful and exciting tools to effectively sense and heal the human energy field. It is important, during the learning process, that you practice your healing skills regularly. The healing ability grows with practice, and practice is essential to proper learning as well. It is through practice that you will experience, feel and form questions on the healing treatment methods. After studying the basic techniques given in this level, practice giving healing treatments, using the treatment steps given under “Treatment Outline.” Should you have questions or need assistance, Support is available through this website.
Welcome to Chios Healing Level II. This level will assist you in greatly adding to your healing power and repertoire of healing techniques. As you begin your study of this level, you will benefit by receiving the second Chios energy attunement. This attunement is significantly more powerful than the attunement you received in the first level. It will assist you in channeling much larger amounts of healing energy, and will make your hands much more sensitive to energy flows in the human energy field as you practice the passing-of-hands. It will additionally enable you to effectively perform the many healing techniques that you will learn in this course. Because it is a strong attunement, it is important that you be as rested and pure as possible, in both body and mind, on the day the attunement is given, so that you may receive its full benefits. The Importance of Holistic Awareness and Action in Healing: In your study of Chios Level I, you began to work with the energy—you began to channel energy and learn to sense the human energy field with your hands. As you know, the energy field is composed of the aura and the chakras, and it is energetic defects within them that result in afflictions and illness in body, mind and spirit. In this level, you will expand your ability to sense the condition of your patient’s aura and chakras, by learning to receive psychic information and guidance. You will also begin to learn to see the aura and the chakra colors for yourself. You will learn to channel much greater amounts of healing energy which, in combination with the healing techniques you will learn, will increase your ability to heal energetic defects in the aura and chakra system. You will also begin to use color and light in your healing work, in addition to the energy. The human energy field is composed of the aura and the chakra system. The aura exists in seven layers or bodies, beginning with the etheric body. Each layer of aura relates to its corresponding chakra—from 1st to 7th. The etheric body, or 1st layer of aura, is an energy body which closely follows the outlines of the physical body, and which consists of the energetic operations that support the biological and chemical processes that operate within the physical body. You have begun to sense the energy of this etheric body through your practice of the passing-of-hands, and have also probably begun to sense energetic defects within it. You will now begin to work towards acquiring the ability to sense and view this 1st layer, and eventually the higher layers of aura, as well. The emotional body, or 2nd layer of aura, and the mental body, or 3rd layer of aura, are intimately connected to the emotional life and mental life, respectively. During your practice of this level, it is very possible that you will begin to gain information on phenomena in these higher layers of aura, and perhaps even begin to see them. They will begin to become involved in your sensing and your healing techniques. These layers of aura, as well as the remaining higher ones, interpenetrate and form a seven-layered higher energy field around the physical body, an energy field that supports all the various facets of our worldly life and which is a direct indicator of our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual state of being. Each layer of this energy field works upon a successively higher level of “vibration,” and although these successively more refined levels become increasingly difficult to sense, they bear a vital relationship to our innermost nature and life experience, at all levels. Energetic defects within the energy field of the patient can profoundly influence the physical, emotional and mental life, sometimes resulting in disease. In this course you will practice techniques that allow you to sense and then correct these defects, particularly on the lower layers of aura. In Chios Level III you will learn further techniques to sense and see the higher aura layers. There are seven major chakras in the chakra system, each of which corresponds to a different aspect of our being and which bears relationship to its corresponding layer of aura. The 1st chakra, for example, is a regulator of physical vitality and physical life, and bears a close relationship to the first layer of aura—the etheric body—which is the energetic pattern for the operation for the physical body. As one proceeds from the 1st chakra (located near the base of the spine) to the 7th chakra (located at the crown of the head), each chakra displays a successively more complex and more spiritual mode of functioning, although each relates to the others and functions as a part of the chakra system. These chakras also each have a characteristic color, from red (1st chakra) to violet (7th chakra). Energetic defects in the operation of the chakras are common in most human beings, and often also accompany many forms of illness. You will, in this level, begin sensing and treating simple energetic defects in the chakras. In Chios Level III, some very advanced methods of chakra healing are explored. It is important to know, however, as you practice all the techniques in this level (and those in Chios Level III), that it is the holistic awareness and action of the healer that makes effective perception and effective healing treatment possible. All of these parts of the human energy field interrelate in their operation, and so you must not limit your awareness, as you work, but must remain open to the entire condition of your patient, and to the entirety of whatever holistic healing is necessary and is taking place, instead of remaining too focused on any particular part of the energy field or any particular energetic phenomenon within it. The various parts of the energy field—the chakras, and the layers of aura and the phenomena within them—are not to be thought of as separate entities, but as parts of a greater whole that work together. Each affects all the others, and all work, in a holistic way, to make up the health and state of being of the individual. For example, in addition to the important relationship between each chakra and its corresponding layer of aura, there are energetic relationships that exist between the chakras in the chakra system, and between each layer of aura and the others. The content and activities of the 3rd layer of aura, for example, are often tied to those of the 2nd layer, and faulty conditions reflected in both these layers of aura often “filter down” into the etheric body and eventually result in physical disease. Of course, conditions in one or more of the chakras are often intimately involved. Should you find yourself treating a condition in this first layer of aura, you must not limit your awareness to this “isolated” energetic condition you are treating, but must remain open, allowing impressions of conditions on the layers of the patient’s aura, the state of the patient’s chakras, and correlating conditions in the psychology and life experience of your patient to form in your mind, including impressions on the proper course of treatment. Life, and the energy field of living things, cannot be fully understood intellectually, nor purely on the basis of the operation of “parts,” but on a holistic perception of the whole. The body, the emotions, the mind and the spirit of the patient interrelate, always, to create the state of holistic health of the individual. The way that a healer cultivates this expanded holistic awareness is through openness. Of all the qualities that the energy healer must cultivate in order to heal effectively, perhaps openness is the most important. The healer must remain open to the entirety of the patient’s condition and to whatever information and guidance may assist in treatment, even while treating one particular area in the patient’s energy field. If the awareness and action of the healer are limited to one part of the energy field, other important aspects of the patient’s condition may remain unknown and untreated. An effective healing treatment is not a preprogrammed and predetermined process, but a process whereby a complete understanding and awareness of the patient’s condition emerges in the whole being of the healer during treatment, and wherein the healer allows an organic and complete treatment of the patient to unfold as he or she works. This is true, even though the healer uses specific perceptual and healing techniques. In this level you will study many new techniques, but is important to understand that all of these healing techniques are not different from yourself. They are not separate tools that exist apart from your use of them, but must be used in a holistic way. As you have probably begun to experience in your healing work, there is, ideally, a holistic awareness of the unity between yourself, the energy field of your patient and the healing energy itself, as healing is performed. You must come to a similar state of unity with each of these perceptual and energetic healing techniques that you will learn in this course. With each healing tool, you must come to experience yourself, the energy field of your patient, and the healing technique as all one. Your primary goal, as healer, is not to become preoccupied with any particular technique, but with the overall expansion of awareness and becoming a pure channel to the healing power. This is what provides you the ability to provide genuine spiritual healing (holistic healing) to your patient. True healing work begins and ends in this awareness, and not in technique alone. Effective practice of the art of energy field healing requires this unity in the perceptions and actions of the healer. This is true because the healer is a channel through which the knowledge contained in the field of consciousness is brought to the healer to assist the healing effort, as well as through which the healing power implicit in the field of pure consciousness is channeled, in certain ways, so as to effect healing in the patient. Whatever perceptual abilities you acquire are based upon your connection to this larger realm of awareness, and whatever healing power you are able to exercise likewise comes from this higher realm of pure being, also. To get the full knowledge and guidance available from this realm, and to most fully access the healing power that is available to you, you must maintain this holistic awareness—this unity between yourself, your patient, and whatever healing activities in which you engage during treatment. It is the realm of pure being, a higher realm of awareness, that connects the healer, the person being healed, and the manner and methods of the healing work. As you master the specific techniques in this level, seek also to elevate your awareness further into this higher realm. As you heal, this higher awareness must begin to be your guide, and not any specific guidelines or techniques. All of the instruction in this level and in all other Chios levels is not intended merely to give you specific tools and techniques, but especially to assist you in contacting and working with a higher realm of awareness—to assist you in discovering and developing the inner conscious abilities you already have. Always seek to maintain a holistic awareness of yourself, your patient and the realm of pure awareness from which the knowledge and power that effect the healing spring. The art of energy field healing is much more than the sum of the many techniques the healer uses; it is contained, and is a holistic expression, of this higher realm of consciousness.
Healing level 3 INTRODUCTION Welcome to the Chios Healing Level III (Chios Master Teacher). This level contains some very powerful and advanced techniques in energy healing. As you begin your study of this level, you will benefit by receiving the third Chios energy attunement. Because this is the strongest attunement of all, it is of great importance that you be as pure and well rested as possible, in both body and mind, on the day of this attunement, so that you will receive the full benefits and will not experience any unnecessary side effects. This third attunement elevates your energy channeling and energy sensing abilities to a very high level. It also accomplishes one other purpose: it gives you the inner ability to attune others. As a result of the attunement, and your study of the Chios attunement procedures (for in-person or distance attunements), you will be able to perform the attunement procedures used in the Chios system—the procedures you yourself have received and which open up the energy, color and light channeling ability of the healer. You will be able to attune and teach your own healing students. After this third attunement, however, there is a necessary 30-day settling period to allow your energy system to settle, after which you can begin to attune others. One highly recommended adjunct to this third level course is the practice of the Chios meditation technique. It assists you in learning to contact the state of pure consciousness—the source of all your healing ability—and is also vital to your acquisition of the visualization, perceptual, intuitive and other abilities that are so beneficial for your successful practice of the powerful aura and chakra healingtechniques that you will learn in this level. It is impossible to overemphasize the benefits to you and your healing work that regular practice of this meditation will bring. That is why it is provided as part of the Chios system. The Master Healer as a Channel For Pure Consciousness: In the two previous levels you have learned to sense and conduct the energy, and have also perhaps begun to sense color and use light as you heal. You have learned to sense the aura in various ways, and have also begun to work with the chakras. In all your healing work you have striven for a unity—for a holistic perception and action—as you work with the energy field using the various perceptual and healing tools you have studied thus far. As you know, every part of the human energy field, as well as energy, color, light and every healing tool you use them with, are part of a greater whole—a whole that includes your entire being and the entire being of your patient. Healing takes place, and takes its cue, from this wider realm of pure consciousness. In this level you will work extensively with the chakra system and the higher layers of aura, using a new series of powerful techniques. The chakra system is of tremendous importance to the entire state of being of each individual—it is the connection between the individual and the realm of pure being, the place of translation between the spiritual realm and the manifested world, where the powers and essence of spirit become available and have relationship with the worldly life. The chakras act as a “rainbow bridge,” as a series of receptors and transmutors of incoming energy/consciousness from the realm of pure being, each with its own color and its own domain of influence over the entire life process. They are not “objects,” or things that can be understood through the use of set ideas, but are each a way things work and a realm of being, and yet they all relate to each other, and are all one. The higher layers of aura relate to the chakras—each layer of aura corresponds to a chakra, and like each chakra is a realm of being, a realm of existence with its own nature and function within the overall being of the individual. The condition of the chakras correlates to phenomena in the layers of aura, and both together—the energy field as a holistic entity in which each part actually affects and relates to all the others—reflects the entire relationship of the individual to the greater reality. The operation of the chakras and the layers of aura also affects the life experience of each individual—from the biochemical operations within the physical body to the spiritual perceptions that are possible, and everything in between. The field of pure consciousness is translated and brought into manifestation through this energy field, to support and govern the entire life process, at all levels. The new healing tools you will learn in this level—powerful tools that can affect and enhance the operation of the chakra system and the higher layers of aura in extraordinary ways—will give you the ability to heal defects within this energy field of your patient. You will thereby not only treat the ultimate causes of whatever disease or affliction your patient may have, but also profoundly affect both your patient’s perception and potential life experience, as a result of your patient acquiring a purer connection to the essence of him or herself and to the entire creation. Your treatment of your patient, using these powerful aura and chakra healing techniques, may thereby also enhance your patient’s entire life process, on all levels, and assist in accelerating your patient’s spiritual evolution. The reason that you will be able to effect such beneficial changes in the patient is that the chakra system, in conjunction with its relationship to the layers of aura, is a channel to the realm of pure consciousness—the realm of pure being in which not merely the ideal health, but also the infinite awareness and infinite higher potentials in each and every person reside. By healing defects in the energy field of your patient, you provide the opportunity for the patient to connect to this greater reality—to break free of the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual limitations which might otherwise remain. Your own awareness and connection to pure consciousness is the tool you will use to effect these changes. As you know, it is your own openness, conscious awareness and development in consciousness that makes it possible for you to draw upon the knowledge and power contained in this field of pure consciousness, for the purpose of healing your patient. The various ways that you seek to heal your patient, as you draw upon this knowledge and power, work as an effect upon the consciousness of the patient—the healer heals and the patient receives healing, each with their entire being. Your work as a healer, therefore, is as a channel from the realm of pure consciousness and also to the realm of pure consciousness. The purpose of your healing work is to offer the opportunity for the patient to heal and advance his or her spiritual growth, and also for you experience the opportunity to come into greater contact with, and act as a channel for, this realm. Therefore, you also have the opportunity to likewise grow—the effect being an acceleration of personal evolution for all concerned. Chios Level III will assist you greatly in this process and will quickly accelerate you toward becoming a master healer. As you become a master healer, you will seek to work directly with this realm of pure consciousness, not only in your patient, but also in yourself—the realm from which you draw your healing knowledge, the healing power, and the guidance from which you take your cue (and your awareness) as you heal. In your healing work, you will be a vehicle for this higher consciousness, as it works through you to enhance your patient’s connection to this universal reality. The master healer is a tool, a vehicle through which consciousness operates on itself, in certain ways, so as to effect healing and changes in consciousness in the patient. Each perception and action, on the part of the healer, as well as the healer’s use of each healing tool, also has this quality. You will come to realize that your role as a healer also facilitates your own growth process, and that your healing ability is dependent upon this growth. You will realize that you, your patient and your healing activities are all aspects of a unitary life process in which you are immersed. Your practice of the techniques you will learn in this course will therefore have great power to effect changes in consciousness in your healing patients, and you will also find that your learning and use of them will effect changes of consciousness in yourself. In order to come into harmony with this true nature of healing work, you should recognize that you have this role of channel, and along with it certain responsibilities, as you heal. You should approach each healing treatment purely, free of all ego biases and in the expanded state of awareness you have begun to cultivate in yourself. In order to heal effectively using these tools, you must set your ego aside while healing. You should therefore heal in whatever way is best for your patient, according to the information coming from your own higher awareness, from your spirit guide or from the guide of your patient. All healing is ultimately performed by spirit, by this level of pure being, using the healer as a channel. It is important to realize that as a healer you must be a pure channel to this level of pure being as you work. You should allow yourself to be guided, in your work, instead of being limited by your own mental ideas or preconceptions. The healer is an artist, not a mere technician. Begin to break free of all standardized treatment orders, pre-conceived content of healing treatments, and instead use all your tools, all your knowledge, and the entire power and perception of your consciousness to create the work of art that is each individual healing session. Although this third level contains many useful tools, and a general conceptual framework for their use, you must cut your own path and not be afraid to individualize your treatments as your individual patients require. It is inevitable, also, that you will encounter many situations not specifically described in the Chios healing levels, sometimes with patients who are seriously ill. You must therefore use your own judgment, your expanded consciousness and your ability to assess each unique patient as your ultimate authority in treatment. You must master all the healing tools given you, but must then move beyond all rules, to a wider realm—a realm in which your unitary conscious perception and action exist as a pure expression of the healing power of spirit and pure being. This is the process of becoming a master healer. Attaining enlightenment Attaining enlightenment is the knowing that you are complete. It's a feeling and recognition that to desire something is to disconnect from everything. Expect nothing and you will have everything as you stay connected to the source of your being. Flow with your truth and you will experience the joy of limitless creation beyond comprehension.
United Kingdom Dennis Gallagher, Nottingham http://www.the-grove-of-healing-light.co.uk 8/22/2009 A nice videoHi all just putting this link for you I think it is well worth the time just click my link bellow but first turn up your sound or you will miss some of it as it is low at the beginning
8/2/2009 Back againWell it has been a while since I put anything here. I lost all interest until I got a Blog update from a contact in my friends corner The Blog was about a niece who is poorly and has a poorly liver it made me think because at one stage in my life I thought i was going to be very sick with the same thing my liver was causing me pain and it would swell I thought at the time it was my ulcer back again so just took a little care with what I ate and drank. But when I went to the doctors he must have thought something else because I had blood tests and they came back with my liver profile being well not good ,He would tell me I had to drink less in fact I had to stop all together otherwise I knew the outcome if i didn’t . This upset me as I knew I was not drinking and I have only a few drinks when my Sheila and I go on holidays once a year so I thought it was worse than he thought as I was not drinking,after a few visits and a lot more blood tests I lost my rag and told the nurse at my doctors practice that I do not drink and am fed up of being told not to drink,she told my doctor who then sent me for a scan on my liver,I am no angle I went through a bad patch where I wanted to well drink myself out of this place,I tried to make my parents and my wife hate me so they would not hurt to much when I did drink myself silly but the love I had for my family got me through this bad time,and after a while in hospital I managed to sort myself out. The doctors didn’t think I had a prob with my liver because of this and today they do not know why my liver sometimes gives out a bad test it still swells sometimes but they say don’t worry to much it hopefully will overcome this prob as the liver regenerates itself better than any other organ in the body. For months now my liver profile is fine.
Maybe this thinking has got me looking out to the future as the last two wks have been a little strange for me I couldn’t think straight . I had a nasty shock a couple of wks ago I was involved in a crash on the motorway seven cars involved but I was in the last three and as much as I would like to say it was not my fault I have all ways said if you cant stop in time you are either going to fast for the road or you are to close,I didn’t think any at the time ,I just saw this van stop all of a sudden I couldn’t stop in time and well the van I drive is in a bad way lots of damage but someone was looking out for me as the only thing I got was sore joints I have bad joints but some how they hurt much more for a few days after other than that I had a headache for a wk or more still have it in fact, but much less now and feeling dizzy on and off for a wk that’s gone now just a odd time now. I decided I was not well enough to work and decided to take some leave for a few days going back to work in the morning see how I go. I did go to my doctors who has told me to go back if the headache does not go but my firm now doesn’t like to be the nice guy anymore so I'm not going to ask for time to go to the doctors unless I can get a appointment after work ill not bother,its my companies policy now no more Mr nice guy .but I must admit they have been good with my accident they have not even asked me was it my fault maybe they are saving that for when I get back we will see tomorrow. Well I guess I have bored you all again just like old times so until nexed time be good and if you cant be good be careful. |
Lie down, close your eyes, and familiarize yourself with the nature and function of your chakras—seek to sense and become each of your chakras, in succession, allowing a deep sense of the chakra itself to emerge in your awareness. Do you get a deep sense of this portion of your overall being? Sense the chakra as a pure realm of being and also sense whichever individual variations exist in your chakra—characteristics, influences and biases particular to you. Do this, at first, without trying to place qualifications upon your understanding, but simply allow an awareness of your own chakra system develop at a deep level. This is like a form of meditation.
