Lesson 8 - Hazards in hands on healing
PROTECTION
Everybody pollutes and is polluted to some degree.
It is a part of life
We pollute when we act or even think negative towards someone.
We are polluted when someone’s negative thoughts or actions towards us meet us unguarded and open.
Question: Is there a risk of absorbing an astral entity from a client when giving healing?
Answer: Rarely, but one risks to absorb a colour from the client (An answer we understand as a risk of for example becoming drained, in a low mood etc., as a result of giving healing to someone).
In order to prevent clients from draining us, we must know own hooks, know own shortfalls. If you protect yourself, and by your own attitudes and ways of living, you are preventing your clients from draining or sucking you for energy, and avoiding that you absorb their energy. When you are not negatively affected by your clients you are giving something back to them from a higher level of consciousness than their own.
PROTECTION
Healing, the healer and the collective: Don’t be naive
People and the collective energy field in these years, might be characterized by the key words polarisation and lack of integrity. This lack of integrity is visible in all the breaking down of both belief structures and organizations that happens without new ones emerging, without new order coming from the ashes, in fact with growing decay and anarchy as a result.
The collective energy field is the sum total of peoples energy-fields. If this energy is lacking a particular quality, for example integrity or spiritual values, it is imperative that we as healers practice and manifest these qualities in our own daily lives; If we don’t, we will vibrate in the same way as the collective in these areas, there will be no platform or strength in ourselves, from where we can stay non-attached to the energy, and we will not be able to help ourselves or others to gain strength and clarity in connection to the collective.
We drown in the conveniences and identify uncritically with the values of unspecific masses of people, rather than stand in our own integrity.
Ego inflation
When you are on a spiritual search, you can know whether it is an ego-trip or an authentic search.
So when you are on a spiritual search, you can know whether it is an ego-trip or an authentic search. […] This is a sort of ego trip.
What is the ego-trip? You are less concerned with the real phenomenon; you are more concerned with possessing it. People come to me and they say, You know, and you can know about us. Tell us whether our kundalini has arisen or not. They are not concerned with kundalini, not concerned really; they need a certificate.
[…] If the real experience is there, what does it matter who says that you have achieved and who says that you have not achieved? It is irrelevant. But it is not irrelevant, because your basic search is the ego. You want to believe that you have achieved all. . […].
