Forums IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ Spring Forest Qigong Energy drain after healing

I did three consecutive healing sessions on animals 10 days ago. I felt great until I got home, then my energy started to drain fast. I ended up taking two hour long naps that day and still felt completely drained the next day. It took several hours of qigong to replenish my energy over a number of days.

Eventhough Master Lin says that I can't give out as much as energy as I gather during my meditations, it is apparent that I did. I could use some suggestions as to how to correct my drain either before or immediately after a healing.

Hi Spirit7

Did you take the following actions before doing your healings?
- put yourself in a relaxed and grounded state,
- say the password,
- call on your Master's energy to help, and
- open yourself to the Universal Energy.

I always feel better when I'm doing healing work if I think about a statement that Master Lin made about his healing method in a retreat I attended in 2003 and consider that my body is a vessel or conduit that channels a much greater energy force than mine. I don't start the healing until I can feel the energy burst that accompanies my request for assistance from Master Lin and the universal energy.

After the healings, did you thank the animals for letting you work with them, and thank your Master and the universe for sending their healing energy?

Can't think of anything else to add.

Hi Jetay,

I did the list of actions before the healing and after I thanked all that came to help. I found that it was really hard to stay in a meditative state with all the animal energy flying around.

I friend of mine suggested to visualize breathing mother earth energy through my feet to help stay grounded and bring in more energy. What do you think?

Spirit7

Hi Spirit7

Your friend's idea about using mother earth energy is similar to what I do to get grounded - I visualise mother earth warmly clasping my feet and that they are being lovingly held deep in the earth like the roots of a tree.

My understanding is that earth energy is yin and heaven energy is yang so I like to mix both together for balanced energy when healing.

It sounds like you could be using your own energy, instead of the universal energy, to heal your animals. A few months ago my Wife and I did a group healing session with Master Lin on the phone. He repeated his suggestion not to use the bathroom half an hour after the session so as not to lose energy. He said that if you couldn't resist the urge, to concentrate on the heart center and that would help preseve your energy. Perhaps that would work in your situation also. If I understood thelevel 2 material the middle dan tien (heart) is where the energy comes from when you heal others.

Great suggestions from both, thanks.

I will try grounding in mother earth before I start my healings to see if it will help. And concentrate on the heart center after for extra support.

I find that during my healing session with animals I get 'messages' as to what is causing the blockage. That distracts me and I forget to concentrate on the energy coming in from the universe and through my body. Do I need to focus on the energy flow all the time or will it continue until I am done with the session?

I think that messages are part of the energy coming in and while I don't consciously focus on the energy flow once I've started healing or active or sitting meditation, I'm certainly aware of it at all times.

I was told yesterday, by a wise woman, that another source of my drain could be over-thinking the messages I receive. She said to just start talking and let the messages come out because that is also part of the healing process.

Maybe I stop the flow by shifting back to the left side of my brain while trying to understand the messages and deciding what to do with them. It does make sense, as to the fact I am no longer in the emptiness.

Any thoughts about this anyone?

Spirit7, I have never experienced this draining feeling you describe. Like Jetay, I connect to the massive well of universal energy and call on my master(s) for guidance and their energy, so that the energy I give well be most accepted and effective.

I do not ground myself. When I connect to the universal energy I don't feel a need for any other energy. My master's energy is for guidance and to change the quality of the energy I send.

As for thinking about the guidance you receive during a healing, Master Lin says not to question it, just follow it. I never doubt the messages I get. I believe that they are the best practice for me and the person at the time I am trying to help. Afterwards, I may wonder about it, but I don't expect to understand everything, or to believe that if I see a pattern it will apply to similar situations. Beside, if I have higher guidance why use some rule I think I've discovered.

As for focusing on your heart afterwards, or on the energy flowing during your healing, remember that the energy follows where the mind leads.

The last thing I'll comment on is you connection to the emptiness. You do not loose it. It may change, it may be stronger at times than others, but you are always connected in some fashion. It is not an on / off switch, but a good, better, best relationship. Of course we all want the best.

One suggestion, IF you are concerned about a similar event in the future, is to ask you master and the universe to send energy to help your and the person (or animal, or plant, or thing) you are trying to help. I often have a thought along the lines of "Please send energy so that I can help person X, for issue Y, and to be better able to help myself and others in the future." I see this as use me as conduit, for someone, and make me a better conduit.


You are perfection.

My issue is that I have done effective healings on humans and pets. Everytime I do one I call upon the universal and Master Lins energy to flow through me and assist in the healing. I feel the energy flow through me but I still get tired afterwards. When I worked on 1, I was a little tired after, when I worked on 3 it drained me.

I do at least 1 hour of meditation a day, usually small universe. I do the active exercises once or twice a week. Do you doing more active exercises would help?
