hands, heart acceleration or sudden heat, we should pay particular attention to the people and events around us. Is a healer tired or refreshed after a treatment?
A feeling of well being and energy are usually felt. Those who feel depleted perhaps are not processing the energy properly. We can become attached even to the pain of others.
The medical school of the “survival of the fittest” does not incorporate methods for the processing of subtle energies. Perhaps this is why the number one disease of doctors is hypertension. One may become easily depleted if attached as a doer. Healing energies should flow through one as easily as breath, as clear as the light after a morning rain. Does the healer consciously raise his vibration and generate psychic energy?
Many techniques are used to raise vibrations, such as chanting, singing, dance, meditation. Sometimes the elevation takes place in spite of our resistance. We are not always conscious of the process, though we should be able to exercise more control. The way of thinking in the West is to believe us to be omnipotent to the point of trying to control the forces of nature. Yet in one volcanic eruption, the earth is changed and the skies are filled with ash. We should not try to manipulate nature but rather harmonize with the forces of all living things. Through this harmony, our elevated vibration will utilize energies from above and below. We carry this spark of Infinite One. Somewhere in life's journey, the spark is flamed and we begin to expand outward in fire, burning off the solidity of our bitter resistance. We seek the light without, once having seen light within ourselves. We become aware of innate psychic abilities and, through care and discipline, we finally pass through the door that takes us to this Infinite One where we find the Source of all power. We walk the path to Conscious Perfect Being.
