                                    Different Types of Healing practiced in my country

 

ACUPUNCTURE: WHAT IS IT? Acupuncture is a method of encouraging the body to promote natural healing and to improve functioning. This is done by inserting needles and applying heat or electrical stimulation at very precise acupuncture points.

HOW DOES ACUPUNCTURE WORK? The classical Chinese explanation is that channels of energy run in regular patterns through the body and over its surface. These energy channels, called meridians, are like rivers flowing through the body to irrigate and nourish the tissues. An obstruction in the movement of these energy rivers is like a dam that backs up in others.

The meridians can be influenced by needling the acupuncture points; the acupuncture needles unblock the obstructions at the dams, and reestablish the regular flow through the meridians. Acupuncture treatments can therefore help the body's internal organs to correct imbalances in their digestion, absorption, and energy production activities, and in the circulation of their energy through the meridians.

The modern scientific explanation is that needling the acupuncture points stimulates the nervous system to release chemicals in the muscles, spinal cord, and brain. These chemicals will either change the experience of pain, or they will trigger the release of other chemicals and hormones which influence the body's own internal regulating system.

The improved energy and biochemical balance produced by acupuncture results in stimulating the body's natural healing abilities, and in promoting physical and emotional well-being.

ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS TO THE TREATMENT? Usually not. As energy is redirected in the body, internal chemicals and hormones are stimulated and healing begins to take place. Occasionally the original symptoms worsen for a few days, or other general changes in appetite, sleep, bowel or urination patterns, or emotional state may be triggered. These should not cause concern, as they are simply indications that the acupuncture is starting to work. It is quite common with the first one or two treatments to have a sensation of deep relaxation or even mild disorientation immediately following the treatment. These pass within a short time, and never require anything more than a bit of rest to overcome.

Shamanism *One who consciously connects and allows the energy of Mother Earth / Father Sky, to resonate through their heart in the service of all.*

Shamanism encompasses the belief that shamans are intermediaries or messengers between the human world and the spirit worlds. Shamans are said to treat ailments/illness by mending the soul. Alleviating traumas affecting the soul/spirit restores the physical body of the individual to balance and wholeness.

The shaman also enters supernatural realms or dimensions to obtain solutions to problems afflicting the community. Shamans may visit other worlds/dimensions to bring guidance to misguided souls and to ameliorate illnesses of the human soul caused by foreign elements. The shaman operates primarily within the spiritual world, which in turn affects the human world. The restoration of balance results in the elimination of the ailment.

Crystal healing is a alternative medicine technique that employs stones and crystals as healing tools.

The practitioner places crystals on different parts of the body, often corresponding to chakras, or places crystals around the body in an attempt to construct an "energy grid", which is purported to surround the client with healing energy.

When the stones are placed in the area of the chakras, the color of the stones may correspond to the color which is associated with the corresponding chakra. Going from the tail bone to the top of the head, the colors are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet. Stones may also be used at the feet in an attempt at grounding the individual, or held in the hands. Practitioners may also use tools such as crystal wands, which are placed near the receiver's body, or near a certain 'blocked' chakra, or use to perform psychic surgery, normally conducted with laser quartz wands.

 

 

Metaphysical Healing Lesson 18

Leeann Vanderlooven

Lesson #18

 

1.            To do an absent healing the traditional healer would make a doll to represent the ill individual. This doll would be made of leather, wood or any material that was available. It would be adorned with some personal items from that individual.  The doll would then be used as a surrogate for the ill person. The healer would then take the doll, and feed it, sprinkle or fill it with medicine plants and try to use it as a means of communicating with the absent patient.

 

2.            To perform an absent healing this is what I would do, I would speak with the person a few times to take a complete background of her life and illness. I would then ask her for a picture along with her complete name and birthday. I would then schedule a time that works best for both of us, so that we may be in tune with one another. I would fast for several hours while I would prepare my room for a healing session. I would sage the area, light white candles, place stones or crystals in the area the angels provide. I would then cleanse the area, read from the bible and go into a complete mediation to raise my vibration. I would then ask all my guides and teachers and those of the patient to come to our assistance and bring positive light and healing to my client. I would pray to God and the angels for assistance to bring healing for the clients highest good. I would then picture my client in front of me surround by the white light of the Holy Spirit and the pink light of love, while I scan their body. I would look for any areas that need attention, and use what tools spirit guides me to help heal those areas. I would work from the head down to the feet. Un-ruffle and smooth energy and close with a prayer and a request to God to be with my patient…

 

3.            An exorcism is extremely dangerous, for it could cause the death of the victim.

4.            No, not all possession states are evil.

5.            People who can be in need of an exorcism can be, people who dabble in the occult. Drug and alcohol abusers, people who perform satanic rituals, people who open them self up to spirit in the incorrect way.

6.            The difference between a traditional healer and a witchdoctor are as different as day and night. The traditional healer lives in close communion with God and consults regularly with the ancestral kingdom. Witch doctors work with the dark side. They use their powers to cast spells and the practice negative  witchcraft.

7.            Sorcerers us ibeklo a form of black magic to harm someone. To make them very sick and cause a lot of pain.

8.            In tribal life mental illness is treated as spirit possession.

9.            They cast out a possessing spirit, by singing and dancing this they feel will force the spirit to rise and then medicine is taken to have the ill person vomit or purge until they feel the spirit has left the body. 

 

Master of Metaphysical Healing

              Chapter 20 - 300 word essay.

  I learned how important it is to treat the whole patient.  The body the soul and the personality of the whole patient. A healer I feel goes through a journey to finally become a great healer.

I find it interesting on my journey to becoming a Holistic Health Practitioner, how much suffering one goes through to realize how a healing really works. Research from recommended read from this course and from what I have found, has only reaffirmed this.

  Author Barbara Ann Brennan Hands of light, shows us how meditation can reconnect us to our energies. This in turn helps us to see into the human body through a different site, in which allows us to see sickness in a whole different realm. We can become so in tune with these energies we can detect illness and then use our energies to heal or unblock these energies, then cure that illness.

  Dr. Eric Pearl's book The Reconnection, tells us that once we feel this energy we can then use it to manipulate any part of the body and help the energies it needs to cure itself. 

  We are only to reconnect with ones self to be able to use this energy to help others.
    I truly believe that this course talks about the need to reconnect with nature and the divine up above. To stop the hurting we are creating from the lack of care we are giving. We need to get away from the thought that a pill can cure it all. Western medicine needs to have a wake up call on how it treats the human as a whole.

  I have learned from my own personal struggles of how western medicine has forgotten its roots and it's compassion. I have suffered through illness for many years and have just now through knowledge found help.

  I have through herbal schooling found ways to help the body, mind, and the soul through sickness, illness and toxins.

    This lesson and through history we learn that great healers come from suffering.  We need to help one another to learn and to never forget our past, for those are lessons we lived through.  The oath that we shall do no more harm on to others needs to be relived. I dream that one day western doctors and natural healers can come together and work to heal the whole human being, the body, the personality and the soul as a whole.

Master of Metaphysical Healing final essay

This course tends to focus or Energy Healing and Hypnosis from a traditional South African perspective. I have been studying both Energy Healing, specifically Reiki and Chakra Dynamics, as well as Hypnosis for quite a while. It was interesting to study these modalities from an African perspective, as  the perspective of the subject material I have been exposed to before taking this course has been either Far Eastern or Western.

Although this course has room for expansion, it serves as a good, well rounded introduction to traditional healing modalities of the region. The course does have suggested readings scattered throughout the text directing students to further reading on specific subjects covered. However, these tend to be a few and far between.

I am not familiar with the author of this course, Rev. Katherine Lee Kruger. I tried looking her up on the internet. The only information I can find on Doctor Kruger was directly related to this course. However the first lesson of the course is dedicated to outlining Doctor Kruegers credentials, which I do not question. However, one would expect to find more information about an author of such a course as this in this day in age on the internet.

I found this to be an interesting course. However, it didn't offer me any skills nor much information which I hadn't already studied or was in the process of studying through other channels.

The greatest benefit I've gotten, personally, from this course has been the ability to study Energy Healing and Hypnosis, albeit very basic, from an angle different from what I have been studying.  I had not considered South Africa previously as a place where Alternative Health Modalities were developed, nor flourished. However it now makes a lot of sense, as South Africa is not far from the Cradle of Humanity. Effective Traditional Healing Modalities  have logically had more time to develop and be perfect in such a place.

In closing, I would recommend this course to those wishing a thorough  introduction to Energy Healing and Hypnosis, with particular respect to a South African perspective, which is normally out of the mainstream.

Significant to note is the Healers Creed, which is included in the last installment of the courses discourse schedule. This creed is parallel to the Hippocratic Oath Medical Doctors take here the United States. Most alternative healing practices, if not all of them, lack such a unifying mechanism. Both Reiki and Hypnosis have codes of conduct, which express basically the same thing. However, there is no mechanism unifying best practices for alternative healing modalities across the board. It would be nice for an organization to be established regulating practices of alternative healing modalities using an oath as such to unify codes of conduct.

Lesson#3
What is the human Aura?

Aura is an invisible energy field present around every object whether living or non-living.
It consists of seven subtle systems, that replicate some of the function of the physical body.
They extend beyond the physical and create a force field of energy and luminous colors. This
energy extends outward and has a collection of nerve fibers, which will pick up signals from the
external world, which is our warning system, we process this energy via the seven chakras.
Why do we have subtle bodies?

Subtle bodies allow us to process energy on many levels. It's like a series of filters for
our body. It helps us to feel more deeply, process, absorb on different levels of mind, body and
spirit. Helps us to heal faster and protects the human body with a series of different vibrations.
Name the different energy systems.

The etheric body, emotional body, mental body, astral body, etheric template, celestial
body and the ketheric template.

What is the function of the auric fibers?
The auric fibers are thread-like fibers that are an extension of the Peripheral Nervous
system. They are very sensitive and provide us protection by picking up signals from our
surroundings at an intuitive level, and makes us aware of our surroundings.
Where are the spinal nerves located?
The spinal cords are located, In our spinal cord.
Describe the circulatory system in the physical.
Circulatory system is an organ system that passes nutrients, gases, hormones, blood cells,
and more, to and from cells in the body to help fight diseases. It carries oxygen and nourishment
to the tissues and waste products away from them. It is the transportation highway of the body.
1
Describe the Circulatory system of the Etheric.
The etheric system is right next to the physical body therefore, has a circulatory
system the same as the physical body. The etheric system helps with the drainage of
contaminated etheric energy from our physical body's auric field. It has a colorless fluid that
contains numerous minute cell particles, these cell are excreted by the charka system. To help
keep our physical bodies clear.
Write a short paragraph on the physical Aura.
The physical body, the etheric body, the emotional body and the mental body all create
the personality of man and the physical body. We use all these systems to live day to day. These
systems work together to allow us to breathe, feel emotion and think clearly to survive.
What does the Etheric body look like?
Our Etheric body looks like our physical body. It is the first of the subtle bodies and next
to our physical body. It contains everything our physical does. The etheric is a gray mist that is
very luminous.
How does the Etheric body differ from the emotional body?
The emotional body is a much denser substance than the etheric. It roughly follows the
outline of the physical. The emotional body registers very powerful emotions. The emotional
body consists of all colors of the aura where the etheric is only gray in color.
What are the main functions of the chakras?
There are seven main chakras, he chakras rotate very rapidly. Each chakra is a different
color. The chakra absorbs the color it predominates in. Each charka than transforms and
transmits the colors into energy for the bloodstream, which then vitalize and energies our etheric
bodies.

Metaphysical Healing Lesson 5

Lesson 5 - Metaphysical Healing Course

 

 

Describe how you would go about linking with your client.

I would first get myself out of the way.

Then I need to ask permission to enter my client's energy field.

Then I need to align myself with the Universal Energy field.

Place my hands of my client's shoulders.

Move in a clockwise direction, move to the side of the bed and feel for the pulse in their wrist.

Place my hand on their solar plexus and breath in harmony with them.

 

What actions should you take when you observe problems?

               I need to stay within confines of our area of expertise, the subtle energy system and the spiritual aspect.  It is imperative that I never create the false impression that I am a doctor.

 

What is your own definition of Intuition?

Intuition is an immediate understanding or knowing something without reasoning. It is a feeling that sometimes starts in my stomach if it is a warning.  Or I know how each one of my children are feeling because I feel their feelings. It's a hunch a knowing of what is going to happen ahead of time if I listen and slow down.  It's a gift give to each one of us by God. It is our choice to use it or lose it.

 

Why is it important to keep a record of your client's progress?

               For  reference .

               So each time a client comes in you know what you did last.

               In case I need to testify in court.

                To record all progress made.

               To be able to research and for self learning and development.

 

What did you personally experience, when you did the scanning exercise?

               Not sure I experienced a lot for my first time.  We removed all belts, jackets and shoes. I had Eric lay flat on his back, arms relaxed at his side and a pillow under his head and knees. When I rubbed my hands together I could feel the center of my hands grown warm. When scanning his energy field, I at times felt warm areas, my hands continued to stay warm and I could feel energy flowing through them.

That's about all for my first time.

 

What actions should you take when you observe problem area's?

               I will just keep my hands in the area for a while until the energy seems to smooth itself out.
