Essene Healing Open Post

[ecosophia]

Longtime reader and commenter Tunesmyth, who coordinates the Ecosophia Prayer List, had a useful suggestion over on this week's open post on my main blog: 

"Over in the thread on the prayer list where this discussion first came up, there have now been two MOE practitioners who have piped in with somewhat different perspectives about what is desired or needful regarding bringing healer and those needing healing together via the internet. I am certainly happy to play a part in making something happen, perhaps integrating or linked with the current prayer list in some way. But I think there first needs to a bit more of a conversation between those who are planning to do this work about what they would like to see happening, exactly, when it comes to making a site, and/or possibly adjusting the “healing” section of the Ecosophia prayer list.

"JMG, might I suggest that you might start a new MOE thread on the Dreamwidth site in order to facilitate a discussion within the full MOE practitioner community about this?"

That strikes me as a very good idea. So -- let's have that conversation. Those of you who want to practice Essene healing online, what do you need to direct healings and blessings toward people who need it? Those of you who need healing, what level of contact are you comfortable having? What other issues might need to be addressed?  Have at it.

It's doing for me! I have seen, at least just on me and following the basic tenets of Magic, that without you doing actions in the astral and material plane, spiritual healing won't do much by itself and that kind of makes a lot of sense to me. You have to actually want to heal in order to heal, and that includes spiritual healing! If somebody really want to heal then they would be performing all they can to do so, otherwise they don't really want to.

This might get tricky because many diseases arise from the mind and we do not recognize them as such. For example people that have a weak will, at least according to Traditional Mexican Medicine, get sick from the Liver so for such a person doing actions to strengthen his will and and affirming that his will and Liver are getting stronger is what would be needed, in my modest, experimental opinion, for spiritual healing to do it's job with full potency.

This all makes very good sense to me as well. I hope other MOE members will experiment with these ideas.
