Healing with Touch Healing with touch has been used for centuries. A hug is a form of healing touch.  Massage is another. Even holding hands has theraputic properties. Here we will discuss the laying on of hands.  Some healers actually touch the physical body while others hold their hands an inch or two above the area of the person to be healed. Both are effective. Method #1 This method is pretty universal. Have the person you are healing relax in a chair or laying down, whichever is more appropriate for the ailment.  Have your person take some even breaths through the nose (to the count of 4 or five on the inhale and exhale) and relax. You may even want to walk him through a relaxation meditation. Tell hin/her to continue breathing this way to bring his or her attention to the breath of the body and bring his/her awareness inward. You do the same. If you are right handed, lay your left hand on the area of the person to be healed (lay the right hand on the person if you are left handed).   Visualize the energy of the ailment. It may be colored, it may be textured, etc. When you have a good visualization of the ailment, pull the impure energy of the ailment through your left hand and send it out of your right hand and into the Earth to be recycled. If you wish to use two hands to withdraw the impure energies, you may send the impurities out through the soles of your feet and into the Earth to be recycled. When you're finished withdrawing the impurities, draw on the divine healing energy, the white light and send it into the area of your person to help his/her body repair and heal. All energy work healings may require repeditave sessions to be successful. Do it every day if necessary, until the cause of the symptoms is gone. Method#2 Medea Moonfire 2001 In this method, the impure energy will not pass inside your body, instead you will draw it out and send it into the Earth by another, similar method. Have the person you are healing relax in a chair or laying down, whichever is more appropriate for the ailment.  Have your person take some even breaths through the nose (to the count of 4 or 5 on the inhale and exhale) and relax.  You may even want to walk him or her through a relaxation meditation before you begin. Tell him/her to continue breathing this way to bring his or her attention to the breath of the body and bring his/her awareness inward.  You do the same.  Place the hands on the body.  Visualize the energy of the ailment. It may be colored, it may be textured, etc. When you have a good visualization of the ailment, pull your hands up off the body an inch or two. Draw the energies of the Universe and Earth to fill you and empower you. Pull the Divine energy in through your head, and the earth energy up through your feet. Feel them mix and become one in your solar plexus area. Then push this energy up through your hands and out of your hands and form it into a ball or orb of energy that is in the space in between your hands and the body of the person you are working with, right over the area with the ailment.  This energy ball you have created may still be gently connected to your hands so you can move it up and down the body if you need to. Now, use this energy to pull out the impure energy of the ailment. You may view is as a kind of vacuum cleaner sucking up the impurities, you can gently push this energy into the body of the person, visualizing it as a "sticky" energy that will pick up the impure energies. What ever works for you. When you have clouded up this energy ball, direct it into the Earth by sending it with energy into the Earth or physically placing your hands to Earth to push the ball into the Earth, where it will be recycled into positive energy for the Earth. Continue with this process until you don't "see" any more of the impure energies. Repeat daily for as long as needed.
