HAVING WORKED WITH various spiritual healing systems, such as Reiki, Karuna Ki, Sekhem-Seichim-Reiki, Ra-Sheeba and, finally, my own personal system called Amara, I have come to the belief that each system is simply a different (and equal) facet of the same universal Life Force energy. We are all able to channel these empowering energies that flow directly from the Source and Spirit. Actually, we are that very energy manifesting itself as human beings. We use it in creating all of our experiences, including the experience of “who” we are - our personalities. It is what constructs our personal reality. Consciously and unconsciously we direct this energy to manifest into whatever we choose to experience in that moment. The energies filter down through our belief systems and very often we hold beliefs, again, consciously or unconsciously that are not exactly “healthy” or contradict other beliefs. .

These patterns will most likely cause blockages and friction in our energetic flow and eventually those patterns manifest as psychological and/or physical sickness. When that occurs we are simply giving ourselves a chance too look at our issues and move beyond them through recognizing the beliefs and preconceptions we hold. It is not beneficial to see an illness as a "punishment" for having "bad" beliefs. To experience wholeness we must accept every single aspect of ourselves. There is nothing that is imperfect in us.

In order to fully experience any kind of permanent physical and spiritual healing, it is my understanding that a shift in our subtle bodies will not be sufficient as long as there is no actual shift in consciousness. Consciousness is what manifests and directs all energy. By removing blockages out of the aura we can regain a balanced state, but only temporarily. If we keep expressing the same old patterns, the blockages will manifest soon again in one form or another. .

However, in an energetically balanced and centered state of being we have a great opportunity to honestly look at ourselves and recognize the underlying limiting patterns that we impose upon ourselves. As soon as we have moved beyond those patterns by utilizing our loving acceptance we experience permanent spiritual "wholing", which will naturally affect the health of the physical body as well. Healing is not about fighting disease and discomfort. It is about understanding how and why we allow it to manifest in the first place.

Accepting our wounds as they are now is the first step in becoming aware of their reasons for manifesting. We all experience pain at some point or another and some experiences leave wounds that stay open. By becoming aware of the patterns that keep these wounds open, we finally allow them to heal naturally. Nothing needs to be undone or fixed, as our true nature is whole and perfect. Allowance is the only thing needed to experience healing. Allowing ourselves to see our “darkness”, the shadow self, as it is, and then accepting it, opens the door to our subconscious patterns and hidden aspects. Integrating these aspects into our conscious experience of who/what we are connects us to our true power and magic. When we can accept our rediscovered power and magic we finally become fully grounded in our own divinity and radiate the full spectrum of our being outward.

As an energy worker, I channel the energy-consciousness of individual empowerment and self-discovery by connecting with my Essence/Soul/Wider Self, and then directing the flow of that empowering and loving energy into the client's subtle bodies. I also use symbols and various energetic devices/holograms that are inserted into and around the aura to invoke the specific type of energy that is needed.

Symbols and energetic holograms can be seen as "etheric enzymes" in a way, as they catalyze specific reactions in the subtle bodies and consciousness. Some people hear symbols as different tones. They are like energetic tuning forks. Each symbol has its own specific vibration, and by connecting with the symbol we are able to access and align with that specific facet of the Life Force Energy. They are a very personal tool since every individual perceives them slightly differently. The tone/energy pattern stays the same but when it gets interpreted through the individual's perception, it can produce many different experiences. The energy can trigger old memories and subconscious associations, thus producing a variety of impressions. There is no right way to interpret the energy, as the energy itself has no labels. It's simply a tone that is to be experienced.

When an energy worker utilizes symbols they are often aware of the meanings; their own interpretations, that is. When applying a symbol into the client's auric field they are implanting their own idea of the meaning as well, in addition to the pure tone of the symbol. The facilitator sends the energy in the form of a symbol coupled with a telepathic “suggestion” of its meaning. Basically this means that they are utilizing two different methods: The sending of "raw" energy and the offering of an idea. Symbols can also be used without having a fixed idea of their meaning. In this case the energy worker intuitively knows what symbol/energy to use. The symbol is simply sent to the client as pure energy without any suggested meanings, knowing that the person will use the energy in the most beneficial manner.

Depending on the situation, certain colors, emotions and ideas are also being telepathically introduced in energy work. This all happens intuitively and every session is as unique as the individual receiving it. Everything is done in alignment with the intent of the client's Soul and the energy is free to be utilized in the most beneficial manner by the client. The person receiving the treatment is also free to reject whatever is sent so no "forcing" takes place. After all, healing can only occur when we are open to it.

In a more simplified way, my idea of facilitating healing can be seen as aligning myself with the “Source Mind,” where everything is seen as perfect and whole. The experience of perfection is then channeled (using the various “tools” mentioned before) to the client’s consciousness where it is supposed to cause a resonance. This resonance of wholeness is in my opinion the main element, which facilitates the healing process.

The intelligent energies have a wonderful way of providing whatever is specifically needed at any given moment. Often people who are feeling stressed and out of balance experience a very peaceful and relaxed state of being during and after a session. On the other hand, for people who already feel very stable and centered, the energy often manages to surface repressed and unnoticed issues, thus giving them an opportunity to deal with these newly found or forgotten patterns. When possible issues come to surface during a session, the energy-consciousness tends to make sure that they can be dealt with without too much discomfort, as long as the person is truly willing to let go of these old patterns. Ultimately everything is up to the recipient, as the energy is only assisting and creating the opportunity for healing. It provides the ideal circumstances and then acts as a facilitating element during the process. The true healer is always the recipient and not the energy worker carrying out the session.
