Healing Methods

[Dellit Tandannon]

I am a healer. I use natural, aural and astral energy to heal. There are many ways to use all three methods. I'm not too familiar with a lot of other ways. What do you do?

[Illuminatus]

Drugs and doctors, dummy.

Hi,
Ive just started with Reiki and love it!! It is truly amazing!!! :thumbsup: :boing:
& Ive been practising Aromatherapy for 3 years now, mostly on myself and friends but I do sell mixed up blended oils :) I love using the different oils every day in massage, baths and oil burners and often incorperate it into rituals :)
& Im into herbs aswell but not so much in a big way because I have so much to learn first ~ I have been trying to learn the last few years but never really grasped herbs as much as I have with Reiki and Aromatherapy, I still like using them though in cooking, occasionally in my blends and again in my rituals.

Hello there!
I use herbs from my family's garden and I also do yoga. I find that they bring a nice ballance to my life and that with consistent practise, I get sick a lot less than I used to.

[MistOfTheSea86]

and am going to learn reiki.:)

[lucidfire]

I met a Reiki healer from Japan this last summer; she was so nice and gentle (they were hitchhiking up north and we gave them a ride) :)

I'm waiting for a little more personal growth before I attempt to do any healing persay. It's been said that the most common problem is takign on the other person's bad energy instead of grounding it or whatever. That would suck!

[Silver Venus]

Lucid, you should wait if you really want to, but with Reiki Im pretty sure (well it says so in the books and Ive had no porblems so far) you cant go wrong! You cant take on an others bad energy or give out bad energy yourself. With Reiki its always good and always goes to where it is needed thats why it is so magnificant and so simple.

[flar7]

cause there just aint enough ways vote, I would click all of em' plus some. Postive energy, extremely important! Doctor and some medical procedures or medication is vital! Love can heal in
its own right. Spiritual power works wonders. I believe and try
to use all of em!!!!



:boing::smooch:-(cough, cough) instead of other, we use otters!

[Myst]

I'm all for meds and doctors (that happens when your dad's in and out of the hospital with surgeries and heart problems and a pacemaker soon, oh my!).

I was just going to start a thread today asking how many people heal themself - how many people can use energy in their body to heal themself, and have you tried it on others (ok other then the obvious people who do reiki :D). I'd like to learn more about reiki too. :)

[Silver Venus]

Myst ~ sounds like a good idea :)
Reiki is grrrreat! ~ you should learn :boing:

[Oridian]

ALL of the above. I try to use positive emotions, energy, and attitudes. I expand on the herbal a bit to include good nutrition as a whole.

I use medicine(allopathic) the least as I feel it often doesn't heal but puts a band aid on so that you can no longer see the problem.

Aside from good nutrition and exercise, my greatest healing method is Chiropractic. Though the beauty of this is that it is not so much a healing as a preventing of injury/imblance.

Topping off the list would have to be prayer. For me, that is the greatest source of power and healing.

[Sunday's Child]

anybody use reflexology or message therapy?

[Wildwood]

For fairly minor stuff I use aromatherapy oils and I make a cursery attempt at eating a bit healthier.

For anything lingering or remotely serious I go to a Doctor.

I am going to be doing indian head massage next year :)

[mato]

I just reach out and heal, sounds silly but I have always done that. I did it for my family alot (without asking before I thought I needed to ask, cause hey they all wanted to be healthy and even if they didnt I did darn it!) until I decided that they were all not really wanting to be healed. I healed my mom's heart disease and then she took up smoking! Some people, ya cant heal em and ya cant bare to watch them die. I am also interested in crystal healing, herbal stuff and acupuncture (any volunteers?! It wont hurt... me! Muahahahaha!!!!) but I dont really have the patients to allow the persons own body to start healing itself.
And doctors are clueless fools, or worse vultures! They dismissed my mother because she didnt have insurance! They gave her asprin and told her to get out cause she wasnt having a heart attack right then but later that night, she had one at home in bed because they would only treat her if she was having one at the moment or had had one and was suffering from the aftermath! They are vultures, disease infested harbangers of death and destruction bringers of poverty, they spread pain and suffering in their attempts to stop them. Ok not all are like that but the vast majority of them... That shouldnt stop you from seeking their assistance when something goes wrong, however if you dont have insurance pray for a miricale cause thats the only way you are going to get the attention you need.

[Scipeno]

I also am learning reiki. I just me a teacher here in Germany. and should get my reiki 1 next month.
I do think that a combined method of healing is best. Like combineing Reiki, crystals, maybe melody healing or aromatherapy in one.

[mythril]

I agree, reiki is a wonderful start to healing, it seams that after receiving the attunements, it is much easier to learn other methods. :)

[Twig]

I use what is called for. No,I'm not trying to be Mr. Mystical Druid. Depending on the cause, I've been known to use conventional, herbal, crystal and other therapies as needed.

The body is a complex organism and therefore requires different "energies" to realign it with the One and the world around us. When you add the spirit and the mind in the mix it becomes a very complex issue to deal with and no one remedy or method of application will work in every circumstance.

At least that is mytake on the subject.

Peace,
Twig

[dolphinfire]

I use alot of herbs and home remedies for the most part. I really don't like doctors, but since I have this back problem thing that most herbs and home remedies don't work for. I have to go to a doctor and take yucky medicine.

[Oridian]

If you don't like taking medications have you visited a Chiropractor yet? Granted I don't know the nature of your back problem but Chiropractors have done wonders for people with problems in that area amongst others.

[dolphinfire]

yeah but it gets too expensive, I have to go three times a week.

[ManyBlessings]

you all are awesome.
I wish i could get to know all of you personally.
Ive been wishing to learn about all kinds of healing methods.
but dont have the time or a teacher to help me or anything...

[mythril]

Dolphyn fire:

Have you tried a yoga class or some other kind of stretching exercise, perhaps that would help a little.

ManyBlessings:

I know of a website where you can get a free distance attunement in reiki 1.
Ill cant find the address now but i will look for it and post it up.
You will probably have to wait a month before they distance attune you but when they have, we can chat about how to use the energy etc.

peace

[Myst]

I think www.ozwicca.com has distance reiki classes.

[mythril]

Thankyou Myst

great link, i was really supprised and excited about the courses that are offered :)

[Silver Venus]

Also Dagda Moon Lily runs courses on Reiki at a very reasonable price indeed and she's great! ~ just send her a pm and she'll give you her web address with details of all Reiki levels attunement :)
I have recived my Reiki 1 and 2 attunements from her and really enjoyed and learnt allot from all her lessons :)

I love Reiki and use it daily :sunny:

[mythril]

Yes i love it to :)

I have the most amazing photo of Sensei Usui ill post it up.

The energy radiating from his image is amazing.

enjoy

[Silver Venus]

yeah hes a great chappie :D Thanks for the photo :sunny:

[mythril]

He is isnt he, ive been reading alot on his life and the way he practiced and taught reiki.

I tend to prefer his way, for instance, he didnt aknowledge the chakras but knew of the meridians and he used reiju which is allowing the hands to be guided to the places where energy is needed.

The chakras and all the other complicated things where later added on by westerners.

Why make something which is so natural and simple complex?

anyway thats my take on the matter :)

[Dellit Tandannon]

bump!

[Oridian]

I woulod suggest walking regularly(everyday) and go to a store a buy one of the large bouncey balls. then in the evenings or whenever you het the time sit on the ball and shift around a little to get good movement into the back region. Again i would suggest doing this everyday, even after the pain goes away.

Rocking chairs and devices, activities that work your balance will also promote a stable back. Start off easy on activities though since your back in unstabe.

I hope you are already feeling better but if not give this a try for a few weeks and post back with any questions you may have.

[shnen]

I chose other... as I try to use herbs, energy and home remedies at first, but there are some things you have to go and get a prescription about. I also exercise regularly and eat good - as prevention.

[Mythrel]

Reiki/energy healing...works for me and the people who have let me work on them haven't complained...
