Hi, JMG. Thanks so much for sharing all this 'healing stuff'. It's been amazing!
I need your advice on the intensity or scope of certain healing practices while still a novice. I have been daily practicing the healing breath meditation, healing hands techniques and the foot reflexology and/or hand reflexology daily from the time the lessons have been coming from you. I have been also picking up the bridge of love.
Each day during one of my healing hands I offer healing to myself and direct family members. So far so good. However, on Sunday, March 26, I decided to experiment with my healing hands by extending the unconditional love of the divine to a religious congregation of about 60 persons with whom I was participating in devotional singing at the time. Just to see what would happen. Nothing immediate seemed to happen. But what did happen – rather unusually for me – was to be broadsided by a highly unusual viral infection on Friday, March 31. I am still reeling from the infection which so far has been restricted almost entirely to my throat. Imagine the feeling of swallowing razor blades. All day and all night. All week. Not fun! I have used every trick in my homeopathic and herbal repertoires to surprisingly little benefit. Ordinarily on the rare occasion that I find a cold coming on I can scare it away between 12 – 36 hours after initial onset. Not this time. Maybe this sudden illness has no connection whatsoever with my experiment; but perhaps there is a connection – hence this question.
One thing that may be worth noting is that I am a strict lacto-vegetarian. I have steered away from picking up all forms of ritual magic based on your advice to vegetarians about the poor suitability of such a diet with the rigours of ritual magic (which was fine by me, as I am a mystic by temperament anyway). I had assumed/hoped that the healing techniques of the Modern Order of the Essenes would be sufficiently “high” in terms of the plane that it works on that it would not matter what one’s diet is. But I guess that now is the time for me to ask and see whether my assumption is correct.
Overdoing It?
