Etheric Healing Part 1

I'm often asked about off body work on patients. Questions range from 'does it work?' and 'what is the point of doing it?' to 'am I insured to do it?' and 'am I good enough to do it?'. Today I'll spell out the whys and wherefores.

1. Anyone can learn to do off body 'healing'. Some folk are naturally more adept than others and just seem to have a gift. Like anything else though it takes time to learn and perfect.

2. It is NOT just a question of waving the arms in the air seeking divine guidance - nothing can be further from the truth. This aspect of healing is based upon strict protocol and is an art, just like hands on bodywork, that has to be learnt.

3. When you are working in contact with your client/patient, there is sometimes a kind of 'force that almost feels as if your hands are being repelled away from the body. If this occurs it is usually a sign that hands off work would be better for that particular patient.

4. ALWAYS tell your patient what you intend to do and obtain permission. Working away from the body can be more 'powerful' that hands on. Your patient should feels what you are doing and sometimes get certain aggravations following it so they must be warned.

5. I never usually perform any off body work with straight forward musculo-skeletal conditions. One golden rule to remember is that if there is an underlying mechanical misalignment, then no amount of working off body is going to address this - this requires your usual physical therapeutic skills.

6. I reserve off body work for non musculo-skeletal work, such as hormonal imbalance, chakra balancing, clearing viruses, strengthening internal organ energy and emotional imbalance.

7. There are different protocols for working with the physical etheric, etheric emotional, emotional and mental bodies. These have to be learnt, but please go to a reputable teacher who will outline some of the pitfalls as well as the advantages. Start by working in physical etheric about two inches (five centimetres) away from the body. Try this out on several patients before progressing to the more subtle bodies.

8. Working off body is more powerful that its on body counterpart. It is still the patient's own vital force that you are effecting - NOT YOURS. You have to ground yourself and everything has to be done with focus and intention as with on body work.

9. If you practice body work by a recognized professional organization, then it is highly unlikely that your professional insurance will cover you for off body practice. This has to be checked out and further insurance obtained if necessary.
