Healing at a distance is possible and is very effective, since the lack of visual contact often triggers the lesser used senses in the one conducting the session as well as in the one being healed. Also the question of faith comes in more acutely because the patient is asked to "have faith", while in a closer contact there is more reliance on actual "skill", and "luck". In reality, whatever that may be that's working, "faith" is used to side line the patient away from the concerns of illness and open the venues to healing. Healing undoubtedly requires a carefully thought out strategy. Take massage for example - if you keep poking into one spot it may or may not produce an effect, such as screaming (aa-a-a?). But you don't want the patient to just scream, you want the patient to feel relief and to get better until ultimately they are okay. So, avoid poking the places that hurt, instead, choose a place far away from the locality of pain concentration and tend to it for sometime, then another place, and then blend in the hurting spot in such manner as to have the patient believe that the hurting spot is just another (randomly or not) chosen locality. This is a good strategy to deal with the places that hurt.
Same at a distance. Tell the patient to have faith, to believe in their ultimate curing. This will first of all create a positive flow of energy and give them much needed hope, but what is more important it will take their mind away from the issue at hand. I noticed this many years ago while I was having conversations with my aunt in another country who was very sick at the time, how important it was for her to hear that "things will be okay". She truly felt relieved, and if you think about it - that is exactly the logic. I attributed the positive effects to just what I was talking about in the preceding paragraph.
Healing at a distance includes "sending waves". Now they may not be literally seen by anyone, but tending to any particular part of the body, or the patient's mind at a distance is a sending of the waves. Or perhaps activating little energetic power blasts, however you want to look at it. To many it may seem like a miracle that such healing may take place at all, but if you look at what I have said above, it is not really a miracle. It is just that having symptoms of recovery feels very very good, and the more, the better. Ultimately, that is why people become so concerned with religious matters.
There is this whole thing about spirituality. We don't have to worry about what happens on the higher planes. They will do pretty well even without our believing in them. It is us who need consolation and it is us who need to be convinced that "there is something out there", and so on and so forth.
Anyways, back to the healing at a distance. If you are an aspiring healer, such as myself, don't waste an opportunity to practice your craft. But you have to be smart, as the energy although infinite in essence, is not infinite in practice. Often times it takes a long while before there is enough energy to have another session. Plus, working with one individual may require several sessions, or even years of contact. Practice massage to get all that energy generated and stored.
So when they leave, or you leave, keep in mind that although the physical contact breaks, the contact between the luminous bodies exists still, sometimes even for the rest of the lifetimes, unless you do something like recapitulation (please see the post The Practice of Recapitulation for reference) Try to see that, and use that to better your craft. This requires careful examination, because it has to do with what in the Eastern philosophies came to be known as the "Ultimate Reality". Interconnectedness of all there is, may be a part of such reality, but it is not easy to get to this point. It wasn't easy for me, and it is not easy for anyone else. Once you do though, you will be surprised at how much more digestible and believable everything becomes. All is connected! how profound.
Healing at a distance requires a very high level of detachment and an uncanny cat-like ability to sense the changes of the flow, the wind. The more acute your cat-like sense, the more effectively you will be able to produce the desired effect. It is the feeling of ultimate abandon yet control, as the sick individual usually travels to the regions of consciousness that are considered "bad" roads. They are canals that has sometimes not been tended by a master gardener for many years, others are simply impossible to renovate. Despite the overwhelming odds, the healer-shaman makes his journey, sometimes knowing deep down that there is no hope.
The healer-shamans of the past, and in rare cases present were known for their indisputable ability to communicate with "the other side", the world of the unseen, the spirit world, and of the dead. Although we certainly can only marvel at their ability of such communication and friendliness with what seems like a totally dark forest to even the best of us, we cannot ignore the fact that that is something to strive for, and that is where the achievement in this sometimes very obscure field of knowledge lies.
p.s. I will have to dedicate a separate post to the "the other side" and things of that matter.
