After
a healing, it is vital that the healer clears the healing room
of any residual negative energy left from the healing. During
a healing, the healer may remove blockages from the clients etheric
and/or physical body which have hindered the natural flow of
energy. These blockages should not be present in the body and
therefore should be removed. If the client has an illness that
has manifested on the physical level, there will be energy given
off that may be heavy, sticky or negative - we call it 'spiritual
slime'.
This
tends to stick not only to the healer, but must also be removed
from the client's aura and the healing area itself. During the
healing, it is not uncommon for the healer to become aware of
this negative energy clinging to their hands and arms, and they
may even have to stop and clean it off with their other hand
or a feather. It may feel uncomfortable and perhaps may make
the healer ache a little. This is why it is absolutely vital
for the healer to wash their hands right up to their elbows after
a healing. They must make sure that they clean off this energy
so that it does not remain in their aura and create problems
with their own personal energy flows.
At
times it may be necessary to have a shower to cleanse your auric
field if the healing has brought up a lot of negative energy
or you have done many healings in one day. If you have done several
healings, there tends to be a build up which needs to be cleansed
and cleared both from the healing area and your own energy field.
Of course 'oceanic cleansing' or a dip in the sea is a powerful
way to cleanse yourself. The ocean has a powerful energy all
of its own and is a magnificent way to wash away any unwanted
energy that you are carrying. So too is a 'bath in the sun' -
a stroll in the rays of Father Sun can also burn off negative
energy. We all know how good we feel when the sun smiles in spring
and how we can often feel a bit down and depressed in winter.
So these two are a magnificent way to remove negative energy
build up in your auric field.
This
energy clearing must be thorough, otherwise pockets
of negative energy will remain and eventually create unpleasant
vibrations.
This
cleansing process is very important in making sure that you do
not take on the negativity of others....their problems, their
heartaches or their illnesses. To remove the 'slime' from the
clients aura, there are several methods which you can employ
depending on which you prefer. To make sure that you remove unpleasant
energy which your client has released from their physical body
into their auric field, you may 'feather' them. This means that
you take a feather - usually an eagle feather although it can
be any feather large enough - and sweep it through their aura.
Some healers I know have also used swan or geese feathers. The
feather gathers the unwanted energy and it can then be flicked
away from the body. Healers using shamanic healing energy use
this method and also use the feather for other related aspects
of healing. The hands may also be used for the same thing. Smudging
is another method to help cleanse the aura and healing area of
unwanted energy. This requires the healer to burn sacred herbs
such as white sage, lavender, rosemary, perhaps even eucalyptus,
and then blow out the flame and use the smoke to cleanse. A small
bowl often ceramic in nature, (although any vessel which is fire
proof and doesn't get too hot will do)is used in order to avoid
any cinders escaping. Needless to say, you do not want to burn
the client!!! The healer simply wafts the smoke into the client's
aura using the hand or the feather. energy clearing
Some
healers - especially those who follow the shaman way, like to
smudge their client both before and after a healing. This means
negative energy that the client comes in with is immediately
removed leaving the auric field clean without going into a healing
with a build up already present. For the same effect, some healers
like to feather their clients before and after. The more you
work with the healing energy, the more you will become aware
of its differing nature. Just as you walk into a room of people
and sense that you can cut the air with a knife, you will sense
if a person is carrying negative energy about their person or
if there is negative energy in an empty room. You will feel it
clinging to the walls and in corners. To cleanse the healing
area before the start of your healing and afterwards, you may
use several methods. Make sure that you air the room thoroughly
by opening the doors and windows. Allow the breeze to blow through.
Light a white candle to burn up unwanted energy - and always
have a candle burning during a healing for the same reason. A
white candle will help burn off negative energy during the healing
and therefore helps to make the cleansing afterwards easier.
Crystals
in a healing area also help to soak up unwanted energy. Clear
quartz, rose quartz, agate etc....will all do the same job and
it is vitally important that you remember to cleanse your crystals
thoroughly at least once a week. You can do this several ways.
If you have reiki, you may reiki the crystal until you feel that
it is clean. Giving your crystals a salt bath using preferably
sea salt, or adding eucalyptus oil (which is a natural disinfectant)
to the water is another method. Other healers like to give them
a 'bath' in beach sand. Yet another method is to put your crystals
outside at night during the full moon for her cleansing moon
rays, or burying them in Mother Earth for a few days to clean
them. Putting on some boppy music up loud(if that is your preference)
helps to blow away the cobwebs - spiritually speaking that is!!
The
loud vibrations from your favourite music creates positive energy
which fills the room to the corners Some healers like to place
plants in a healing area to suck up unwanted energy. I would
be very protective of living creatures - both plant and animal
life. If using plants, they must be removed and put outside for
a good breeze and cleansing water bath. Plants and animals can
be attuned to Reiki energy and this gives them a certain amount
of protection but they must also be cleansed properly - just
as we have a bath or cleansing method for us - the healer - so
must they be cleansed or you run the risk of them becoming unwell.
This is something that other healers may not agree with but in
my experience I have found this to be true. It is also important
to wipe the healing table over between healings and to change
pillow cases and the sheet - if you use one. So in conclusion,
remember that cleansing of the healing area and you, the healer,
is just as vital as cleansing the aura of your client. Therefore
there will be no transference of negative energy from one client
to another, or client to the healer, or plant or animal. Just
as modern medicine disinfects on the physical level, so we must
disinfect and clean on the spiritual or etheric level. It is
just as important! energy clearing
