Hi Nicole,
As healer, you 'help' someone in their self healing process. Blockages predominately stem from negative emotional patterns, traumas, life style choices,etc. So , we go through our life making choices. From that, we are where we are at, or where we have come to. Working to clear physical blockages is possible with or without participation. Working with how your father lived his life, how he sees things, feels or felt about things,,,old patterns of that, years of choices, ,is a different deal. HIs personal karma so to speak. This said, I would approach working with your father staying in the present moment, and not allowing any thoughts of possible limitation in. There is a lot to work with in a healing way. Any thoughts about it being to late, or limited regarding time, or his condition, serve no purpose in holding a higher level healing or transformational relationship with him going forward. He is where he is at, and you are going to do the best you can with that.
My mother died of alzheimers. I 'was' able to help,,, and,,, I couldn't do 'all' the work for her regarding who she was, in terms of transforming the energy that transforms only through one's own understanding and doing self work. With my mom, I got a sense of it being too late regarding her attitudes and depth of blockages stemming from that. This fuels compassion though, and you will have, I'm sure, much good to learn from experience with this. It is a powerful way to learn.
You certainly can help your father with level II technique. You can do this in proximity to him or not. If you aren't close to him, just close your eyes and 'do' it. It is just as effective, close to him or not. Do complete healings, covering all key areas. You can positively effect his quality of life. My mother was always smiling when I worked on her.
You work with a master's energy in SFQ. You call on this energy to help you, help you do something. Utilize this. I would also send respects and call on a master's energy closest to your father to help him around the clock. Someone he respects perhaps, or non specific, or your master's energy. So you can put in place spiritual energy support from a few perspectives if you like, or just work with one source, or the source, manifestations of source/God, whatever... That other master's energy , or use of your master's energy, can be a different piece , possibly viewed by you as closer to your father's experience and state of being, ready to help with any openings into that. I am not giving varied technique as a "qualified SFQ" teacher! Just giving a variant as an example of something creative that might take you somewhere beneficial, or access spirit from a different angle. Spiritual energy help is always around us, and speaking for him to receive help on his behalf is certainly an okay thing to express. Just working more with the spiritual piece takes you deeper in your work, and that part of your work, and you might find more openings/perspectives, to effect positive transformation.
Your qigong practice has a transformational energy presence to it. If you are with him, hanging out, (aside from clearing sessions), do your active exerise in his space to bring positive energy there. See yourself as a channel of heavenly energy/light, bringing that there, grounding it there through your exercise. If you are exercising on your own, in your own space, do the same, only visualize your father coming to be with you , in that transformational space.
My practice actually helped me most, after my mom passed. I had an image of her in my mind's eye, relative to a bad time in her illness regarding the alzheimers. It haunted me a bit. Through meditation, just working creatively with visualization, in the context of my SFQ practice at the time, I was able to continue to work with my mom in spirit, and did come to a beautiful experience/point of transformation regarding my connection with her. Now I only see her as looking like she did when she was 18, if I look her direction, and I remember the beautiful angels that came to comfort her and lift her away.
Don't panic. Work with it. Study the material,,,let yourself be creative, utilize the love you have for your father to empower your work , and at the same time be the healer in a more detached way, functional , focused.. You will learn a lot from this. Although this may appear a difficult thing, much good and transformation will come from it. Both you , your father , and your family will benefit directly, from your working with this. Take care of yourself too. Your heart and body. Maintain a balance best you can. With best intentions,
love,
gallen
