I thought I would share my experiences with the advice given to me by Shawn and Gallen in my "helping with asthma" topic a while ago. To take these ideas away and work with them has been a real learning experience.
I followed Gallen and Shawn's instructions (see ‘helping with asthma’ thread) and have managed to help my kids significantly. A few days ago I was able to help a friend's son with the same kind of breathing problem. My friend is very energy sensitive and was aware of a great deal of energy around her son as I worked on him. So thank you Master Lin since I called on your energy!!
Some things strike about my learning during the past few weeks. One is that breathing into my heart has the effect of making me more loving and in fact at times I break into a broad grin or little laugh. On occasions I look at the face of whoever I'm working on and as the energy work 'kicks in' for them there is a look of peace and happiness which begins to appear on their face quite often and this also increases the internal (and external) smile I feel.
Gallen's advice to have very 'soft' hands, for the drawing out of energy and for putting it in, enabled me to really pay attention to how I was experiencing the energy in both of these movements and to begin to recognise sensations from one session to another. As I draw out excess energy now I have a real sense of what is meant by the energy you draw out being 'heavy and sticky' to start with while gradually becoming much lighter s you progress. Sometimes when I doubt that the sensation is 'light' enough I switch hands in order to have a second 'feel' of the situation. Increasingly I have the sensation of the excess energy sort of 'jumping' or 'rising' into my hands. Also for sweeping down the spine to remove excess energy I notice some tinglings in my fingers which gradually subside as the xs energy disappears. Along with this the advice about keeping visualising was good. As I worked on the windows to the lungs I could ‘see’ that 'something' in there was becoming pinker and less clogged up with unhelpful 'junk'. Similarly the lungs became pinker and pinker as I continued to work at clearing out xs energy. I increasingly have a sense of how to visualise the energy going into various places. It’s worth saying here that I couldn’t see or feel anything when I started out trying to help people. Gallen's comments about the nature of the different types of energy in the sword fingers, cloud hands and ‘putting in of energy’ phases was also very useful to develop a particular mind set appropriate to that phase. Of course my confidence in my efforts has increased many fold as well.
I am particularly grateful to Shawn and Gallen because I have been able to make a significant difference to three people now. It certainly makes the 'world without pain and a healer in every family' more real as you can imagine. But there is another lesson for me too - you have to get the best advice you can if it’s available, but then you have to go and do something with it, while keeping your attention on the process in a relaxed way so that you notice what you are learning.
So thank you folks for helping with this healing opportunity that presented itself to me, and from which I have learned a great deal. I do feel that this forum has some exceptional and very loving aspects to it!!
Much Love
