So how do you interact with healing energies? I want you to start simple and keep it simple. No technique is needed, you are already connected to this universal healing energy. The clue is in the name, universal, it’s available for all. To start, make yourself comfortable and for a few moments I would like you to relax the best way you can. If it helps to put on some gentle music then please do so. Now have the intention that you are about to interact with universal healing energy but don’t have a desired outcome, simply know that you will accept whatever arises and if nothing does arise then this is fine also.
When you are ready, close your eyes and start to take some nice, slow, deep breaths. In time, let your breath fall into its natural breathing rhythm. When you feel ready, I want you to bring your attention to your hands. Just be aware of how they feel. Just stay here until you start to feel a sensation, it could be that you start to feel your hands becoming warmer, colder or maybe there is a slight tingling sensation. These are all fine. You may not feel anything on your first attempt but keep trying. If this is the first time you have ever made an effort to become aware of your own energy your sensitivity can be a little like a car engine that hasn’t been used in a while, it may take a few attempts before the engine is running.
As you become more aware of the sensations in your hands you may find it begins to spread to other parts of your body quite naturally. If you only feel sensations for now in your hands this is fine, you may want to place your awareness next in your arms, head or legs and just become aware of the sensations that begin to arise in those parts of your body.
Eventually, you will be able to have an awareness of your whole body without any of the steps described above. The more you give attention to your energy body, over time the more alive it becomes. Then the more connected you become to universal healing energies and the more you place your awareness other than on your thoughts, that’s when healings generally can occur. That’s it, that’s self healing. Simple yes, it truly is. Just have patience and let go of any expectations of what should and shouldn’t be happening and start to enjoy these new feelings and sensations knowing that on one level you are receiving a healing. It’s certainly important to always allow the healing energies to just be, when you try to do healing you will find that the sensations will not be as strong or will simply disappear. If you find that this happens, simply relax once more and bring your awareness back to your hands. Wait for a sensation to arise and just become a witness to whatever happens or doesn’t happen next. In time the feelings and sensations should encompass your body as a whole.
There are many exercises for self healing, this is just one example and what works for one person may not work as well for another. Sometimes a person finds it hard to let go of outcomes and expectations and you may find that these exercises do not really help. If this is the case I would always suggest finding a Reiki healer or someone from a similar healing discipline who will be able to be a receiver of these healing energies for you.
The next step would be to start to interact and play with the energies which will then lead you onto the natural progression to healing others. But first, work with the self. Learn what these energies feel like within you and how they move through your body. For this is the beginning of your natural healing journey, just remember, get yourself out of the way.
