I've been chasing this dragon for years - developing the ability to heal others. If what don Juan Mateus, Castaneda's nagual, says, we also get the benefit of whatever we're able to do for others. This is such a controversial subject, I know - and there are so many naysayers out there, even on this forum. I can even be a naysayer to myself - sometimes it seems too hard to believe, that we can actually change the dynamic of any particular malady - and my first reaction, even to my own healing ceremonies, is that 'it's just a coincidence'. But the successes are starting to pile up, and it's getting harder for me to write this all off to coincidence. In my particular case, I was exposed to Christian Science by a great aunt who was a healing practitioner when I was a young girl - she would take me to her meetings. In later life, I read much of what Mary Baker Eddy wrote - her metaphysics are exquisite, although I don't feel the need to use the Nazarene as an intermediary, as she did. I suspect that by the time she reached the end of her life, she knew that as well, but because her writings and teaching were so well established, they remained intact without the modification of not requiring Jesus as an intermediary. Just my opinion from reading what she's written. Her method utilized deep personality dynamics, and it is this modality that we use in ceremony. To figure out "why someone is manifesting something', and this assumes that we are the Manifester. Once we can tap into that mindset and use it in ceremony, I am finding that healing does actually occur. Through the years I have intermingled shamanic ceremony with this metaphysical dynamic. Not that there is anything magic in shamanic ceremony per se (perhaps there is, but if so, I don't understand it), but we use it as a vehicle in which to couch the metaphysics. It keeps the mind of the person being healed confused, so that they're not running an internal dialogue of 'this is absolutely ridiculous'. The drums and rattles work as a transport, and it seems to keep their mind more open, receptive to suggestion and reverse imprint. What I have done over the years is to try and merge everything I've learned from every tradition and meld it into a garment of my own making. I believe that I am on to something. So if anybody would like to share their healing discoveries, the mindsets they use, the methods they use, and the mindset into which they place the person being healed, would you be willing to share it here? Can we learn from each other, developing and merging our modalities so that they are the most effective they can be? I know that there are plenty of qigong practitioners here who would have much to add, and might even become even more successful in their own healing practice. Any interest?
