An Introduction
to Esoteric Healing The energy field surrounds and permeates all living beings. It is the scaffolding for our physical
body. Within the energy field of each person are seven major centers. Each of these centers energizes or vitalizes its related
nerve center, endocrine gland, internal organ system and the circulatory system. It is within this energy field that the cause
of disease appears to be located. Through training, a practitioner can learn to work with areas that are weak or congested
within the energy field, and by use of various balancing techniques, can bring the individuals energy field to a more flowing,
healthy, harmonious state. This type of healing work is called Esoteric Healing. 'Esoteric' means 'hidden' or 'further within'.
There is a subtle aspect that is not obvious until you study it in greater depth. The existence of the energy field and its
use in healing has been known for thousands of years, especially in Egypt, India, and China. It is only recently, however,
that modern western science has realized its significance. It has been called by various names: Vital body, bioenergy field,
"L" (life) field and etheric body. What is Esoteric Healing? Through years of observation
and study of many different disciplines, the members of the International Network of Esoteric Healing have developed a Science
of Healing in the Energy Field (or Esoteric Healing). This has proven to be a very effective method of treatment. In a healthy
person, the energy field is evenly balanced and harmonious, but where there is dis-ease, imbalance and disharmony can be felt.
Healing practitioners learn to sensitize their hands and inner perception to examine the energy field in detail in order to
find alterations in the flow of the energy field. The practitioner does not touch the individual, but works away from the
body. Is the patient required to do anything? A brief history is obtained prior to each treatment. The individual
is treated in their position of comfort and asked to relaxed and be receptive. Sessions will generally last 30 to 45 minutes.
Some individuals may feel nothing while others may have a sense of deep relaxation or light movement. Occasionally the effect
is felt immediately, but more frequently the effect is not observed until later. Our energy fields are influenced by
our mental and emotional states, and working in this field may produce an effect in these areas. We ask the individual to
have some quiet time to consider the thoughts, memories, and feelings that may come up to the surface of the mind in the days
following the treatment. How many visits does it take? There is no rule about this. Occasionally
total relief is obtained after one visit, however six and ten visits are more often required to achieve balance.
Does
the patient need faith? No, this is not 'faith' healing. Skeptics have benefited from this form of healing.
Obviously, if a person is open-minded they are more likely to be responsive than one who 'resists' help. We as a group are
spiritually oriented and non-sectarian. We believe that healing energies are available to all, whether or not the individual
belongs to any religious denomination. Does it work for everyone? We find that about 75% of those who
come for help benefit considerably. Of the remainder, about 10% seem to have no benefit whatsoever while the other 15% find
that while their treatment has helped, they do not see benefits for several weeks. |
