On Energy Healing

Repost from Energy Medicine Exchange - a Facebook group

 
Let us not forget that energy is itself a metaphor for an unknown.
Having a label is useful as a placeholder but may give us a false certainty about the IS-ness of things.
Once upon a time all dis-ease was a spiritual attack.
With the upstart called psychology, spirits became complexes.
I have no problem with the idea that the stabbing pain in a leg is due to a thought form of a knife, an imbalance in a meridian, or neuro-chemical imbalance.
As a healer all I really know is it "hurts" in some way and assist to release it.
For me everything is alive with an underlying intelligence, so spirit works for me as well as energy - maybe better as I might be able to dialogue with it, even conversationally, which may be the only skill set I need.
In dealing with "energy" let us not make the mistake of the materialist that we are dealing with only " dead stuff" which behaves in some lawful manner.
As I am not separate from my environment, there is no "other" - no pain, person, entity or condition that is outside of that relational field I call " my life."
The healing model I now work within is "relational," which is part of the "rasa" model from which I borrow the name for my coaching practice.
The willingness to acknowledge relationship is perhaps the most powerful healing tool in our arsenal, especially when things get sticky.
My "enemy" (sickness) is always presumed intelligent in some way and thus not beyond the reach of love.
So it may be that ideas like forgiveness and repentance/conversion are spiritually/energetically ways to "turn around" the presenting condition, neutralize it malignant nature and integrate it into the flow of my living personal life-field of experience.
This is not a system for me per se, but a premise I find workable and from which I can apply many techniques and non-techniques just as with any relationship in my life.
I am open to acknowledge good or evil as spiritual forces and as no more or less problematic than that found in dealings with humankind.
Of course it is better if I can transcend the duality and positionality of such concepts.
Given all of this, my spiritual development is not to be separated from my development as a healer.
I also understand this may be difficult for some to hear as it always reveals the three fingers pointing back to us for the one pointing out there.

I am a bow strung without arrow, a warrior without a weapon, a healer even with clients none, a no-body embodied. In mystery I was born and in mystery I abide. Knowing nothing I am delighted to know all will be well. If all seems not well I have but to wake up. I am life and living yet no one finds my name midst the clatter of the wisest tongue.
