| ((((Rich)))),Thanks for sharing .I can relate to a lot of your experiences and practices.I particularly related to more than 'verbal permission' being needed to successfully heal or at least to make it easier for both parties.Love Jo.x

| WOW...what an amazing, and wonderfully insightful topic here! I must first pre-empt my post by saying I have NOT read all of the five pages of comments here, so it is entirely possible that someone else may have already stated. Bear with me...some different feedback here. 
If healing is a gift you have, there is a responsibility that comes with it. All gifts and skills come with a unique set of responsibiltiies, whether they are acutely known to be "spiritual" gifts or not. A locksmith has the skill to open any lock, but it is not ethical to use his gift to "break into" cars and such just because he "can." There are other lines that separate instead of connect people who have skills with a place to direct those skills, too...not all are ethical, but some are material, and some are BOTH. There is an evolution to ethics, and often, that evolution is paved for each individual on a case by case basis.
If a doctor has the ability to heal a patient, but the front office management of his practice does not accept patients without insurance coverage, does this patient get medical help here, or no? What if not one, but fifty patients in a week need that healing? The doctor could choose to say no and feed his family by making the money he asks for in exchange for his skill. OR, the doctor could put his own family in risk and serve all 50 people at his own great expense. OR he could find a medium between those polarities. How does it work in the 'real world?' That entirely depends upon the individual office and their approach...and it does vary from place to place. Some people will let the money be the block. Others will let ethics be a guide, and vice versa! Where do we separate PERSONAL repsonsibility as an individual from WORLD responsibility as a whole?
These things aren't arbitrary. They really do impact the ethics of healing, not just with energy, but in every way. All that said, I feel that my ability to heal others was given to me as a PART of the grand design of this Universe, BY the Higher Power who guides me. I may be oversimplifying a giant discussion here, but when I send healing or light to ANYONE, I always preface it with saying, "IF it is in the highest good of this person's life path....". If I choose to take my time to send healing to someone who does not ultimately at the soul level wish to receive this healing...if my efforts are in any way misplaced...then the healing will NOT be delivered to disrupt a greater plan. If the healing is wanted and needed, it will be delivered. And most often, I can TELL once I set forth that statement whether a person's soul is resisting and rejecting, or basking in light and accepting. I do not think so much of myself to think that I can "mess up" the grand design for anyone, but rather, I believe that I am placed here as a PART of grand design. I do this by following my spiritually connnected intuition. If I can't intuit whether healing is appropriate or not, I can't possibly be in the right mindset to heal. I need to be a clear, open channel for greater wisdom to flow into me in order to heal...so I TRUST that power instead of fear it. How do we draw lines for who is out of place in doing what and where? Permission IS the key, as others have outlined, but again, please look at this from a case by case angle and not pass a limiting judgment on it overall. Why?
What about people sitting home alone, frightened in a situation in their life, be it health, emotions, relationships, etc., who cry out silently to God for help, or who do not even believe in a higher power but WANT help even if they have nobody to turn to and ask? IF IT IS IN THEIR HIGHEST GOOD, why would we NOT send healing to these people? How on earth are we supposed to grow and evolve as a spiritual society if we turn our noses up and only heal those who can give direct permission or who ask for it? Permission is bigger than a "yea" or "nea" from a person or animal. I trust FULLY that if I offer healing to anyone, whether they ask for it or not, when I state "IF it is in their highest good," I am turning over any and all personal power that I perceive in myself, and allowing it to be guided, diffused, and if necessary, stopped by the Higher Power if my actions would "mess with" anything on a larger scale. We are projections of God...are we not all the same, all connected, all returning back to this together in the end? We are each of us living fragments of a greater whole. If my "fragment" of God is a healing one, I will use what gift I have been given. I will not use it in "vigilante healings" against a greater good, but I absolutely offer healing whether it's specifically granted in verbal permission or not. And if it is healing that isn't meant to be, it will not work. We DO still have free choice here, otherwise life would have no need to exist, fragmented from the Whole is a way for the Whole to learn and grow...not to freeze in fear and remain separated forever.
A person who is "dying" of cancer can have all the healing SENT to him/her in the world, but if death is the resolution that is in his/her highest good, death will come as it is meant to. I'm not bigger than death if it is the RIGHT fit for someone. Neither am I smaller than it if that person's life path INCLUDES experiencing a healing that might lead to greater spiritual awareness than s/he had before illness. There are MANY people in this world who do not ask, or want, healing, but who live on AFTER an "unwanted" healing in the exact way that was meant to be for THEM. If you know someone is about to commit suicide, and you offer to help, and they say no, do you NOT send healing? Do you know that nearly ALL people who attempt suicide seriously and end up rescued are GRATEFUL and tremendously relieved that they lived? Committing suicide is an extreme example where someone CLEARLY is not asking for or accepting help...jumping off a bridge in front of people...not for attention but fully intending to die? Then rescued, go on to help children who battle depression, or create a network of help for those who feel suicidal...or be a nurse on a mental illness ward...OR just go back to living as a mom, or a sister, or a husand...working at something else, or nothing else, but just finishing life? I fully respect individuals who choose not to exercise their healing gifts in various scenarios of their choosing...that is free will. But I would exercise caution with telling OTHER healers that they "should not" do their healing in this manner, because you never know...YOU might, in your own theory, be messing with THEIR grand design by convincing them to NOT heal others.
Hitler was a single horrifying example of what can happen when a collective conciousnes does NOT stand up to heal what is clearly dangerous and wrong. Yes, that was part of his grand design, but if free will exists, then let's also remember that if thousands of healers....or soldiers...or anybody's....banned together and said, "we do not accept mass murder as a part of this design," could Hitler have gotten on some medication and 6,000,000 of my ancestors been saved? Either way, does it lessen the fact that a Higher Power exists to guide us? Hitler is a prime example of what can happen when we do NOT stay connected to the Higher Power and we just let things happen. This is a MUCH bigger discussion than simply the ethics of healing with energy. Certain Christian groups do not allow medicines to be used, even on their children, even if it means dying because they believe that God's will is done. Well, I'd ask then, why did God give us the power and ability to create medicine and healing and skilled doctors if he did not want you to access them to save a beloved life? Even the children in these cases are often scared and their parents persist in the name of the Grand Design. To me, this is NOT separate from the "Grand Design" Hitler himself envisioned, in which all non pure people were purged from the planet after unfathomable tortures. I don't believe that anything that happened ever didn't serve us in the end, but sometimes, we are here so that we DO act in any given situation that feels right. Go by what feels right, case by case. Be careful not to pass judgment on anyone, least of all yourself, and what you are capable of doing. You are more powerful than you may realize, but you are also more in the right place than you may realize.
Gandhi said "Be the change you wish to see in this world." If you wish to see people healed, offer healing. If you wish to see lives saved, offer saving. If you wish to do a or b or c, then do so, provided it "HARM NONE" and is in line with the "GREATER GOOD." You can literally JUST SAY these things with intention before you heal, and it works just as well as sending the healing itself!
I could go on, but this is so long! Sorry about that! 
Love, Light, and Blessings Bright,
Faerybright xoxo

| yeah the way i see it, actually this is not my idea, is that the whole is massive, and divided by separate interests. God (the higher power) exists outside that whole, the whole is a zero, we are all just zeros, when we connect to that higher power we become 10s, 100s,1000s, 100000000s.. etc. then we would be able to see healing on a universal level, not just earth, but 'space' where satellites and spaceships roam and threaten unseen life forms that haven't been 'discovered' and are therefore not accounted for.. and more. so again, the lower follows the higher.
Rich, thanks for this explanation, its a good way of dealing with it, well worth practicing.. as it's based on compassion and understanding that people are not bad, but they are prayed on by lower energies and they need to be allowed up to the higher ones. that's dependant on mercy from above, so we have to just be compassionate and have faith. you're way of dealing with it seems like a bit of sacrifice on your part, if i read your post right that is very kind and selfless. thanks for sharing this, i'm now in my thirties too, and am at the beginning of this path, so i'm fortunate to be able to hear the learnings from an experienced teacher! thanks, and thanks also Faerybright and Namaste for your very insightful and heart-felt posts namaste to all of you!

| Hi Jo, glad my post meant something to you. A person accepting healing, and by implication change, is probably the biggest factor in it working. Healing helps people, but it won't force them to do something they don't want to do. And it won't make decisions for them.
Hi madhupriya, thank you for the nice things you said. Not sure its deserved, but all the same thanks.
I think a full system of ethics in place to cover all the different aspects of healing is very important. Humans need guidelines. Watch how the healing power works and learn from it is my advice.
The ethic being discussed here - no healing without permission is very important. It protects the healer. Healing is profound & deep & acts in ways we don't/can't understand. By asking for permission, the healer is protected/absolved from the actions of that healing.
The medical profession doesn't operate on/medicate people without permission, even if it were for a person's own good. Why should healing be any different?
Respect & Best Wishes,
Rich.
so far, so good... |
