CHAPTER 4
HEALING ENERGY
Consciousness has been defined in disciplines from theoretical physics to metaphysics as energy and light. When energy or waking consciousness is directed by the will, it can produce seemingly miraculous changes and transformations.
The following stories demonstrate how, when the energy of consciousness is directed by any variety of means, especially chanting, meditating, and believing, medical healings or cures can occur. This chapter should be seen in relation to Chapter 1, "Higher Consciousness" since some of the same ideas and kinds of experiences can be seen there.
For anyone acquainted with ayurvedic medicine. yoga practices, or holistic health philosophy, these stories dramatize nothing really new. However the unique contexts of experience that Guruji describes gives us a concrete sense of the miraculous healing effects of an awakened consciousness.
