I wonder if any of you have any experience with this phenomenon or have read about it or seen any shows that go into it? It definitely seems paranormal. I was present at a healing session for a person I know by a healer who was from out of the area, so we never saw him (the healer) again to ask him about it.
I’m posting it here because of its strange paranormal nature, and because the MW “Healing” forum seems so slow these days (not much participation right now).
In this incident, the person being healed (call him Jeff) had a cat. The cat was well known by Jeff, his wife, and all family friends to be a shy animal – a pleasant pet, nice to look at, a good mouser. But he was wary to the extent that he would generally leave the room when people from outside the household, no matter how quiet and gentle, would arrive. And the cat was more deathly afraid of electrical storms and thunder than any pet I’ve ever seen, I think.
In any case, the healing session I mentioned was done on the second floor of the house, and I was there for it. Afterwards, we all came downstairs feeling very calm and energized. Among the unusual things was that the pet cat was sprawled out in the kitchen in front of the refrigerator, relaxing and not being shy. I was told that in the weeks and months afterward, the cat not only chose out-in-the-open places to sleep, but was no longer afraid of electrical storms!
But also in the next months, while Jeff experienced a number of health improvements that he attributed to the healing session I’d been present for, the cat got skinnier and weaker. And when they took him to a vet, the vet was able to find symptoms but not identify any specific ailment or disease. The poor kitty died not long after.
After this happened I began to try to make sense from what had gone on. I eventually thought of a few things. In a classic book of folklore, I read about an old practice found in many ancient societies … the ailments or “sins” of a village or other group of people would be ritually transferred to a selected animal (sheep, goat, deer) that was then sacrificed… for the good of the group. That was one sort of similar situation. Another is a passage in the Bible where it was recorded that Jesus healed a man of insanity by deliberately transferring the insanity from the man into a flock of swine. The third thing I thought of was a description of a Native American (“Indian”) healer who performed impressive healings witnessed by a group of medical researchers. He transferred an infection from a man into some fresh meat which was then immediately burned (and no one was allowed to directly touch the meat with fingers or anything before it was burned).
What do you think of this? Ever seen anything similar?
