I'm up to Lesson 21, "The Mental Sheath" in "The Occult Philosophy Workbook". It's finally dawning on me that just because we humans have a material, an etheric, and an astral body, this does not mean that those bodies are in equal stages of development. There's plenty of room for improvement, especially in the etheric and astral bodies for the vast majority of us, never mind the mental sheath that we are tasked with developing into a body. I'm in awe of the fluidity of "bodies". It truly isn't one and done, collect your prize, and move on to the next just like that. This is an immense, multi-layered, multi-dimensional adventure. "Moving target" seems to fit.
As this fine book is my meditation fodder after empowering my Healing Hands in the morning, it has me wondering which body/bodies do practices such as Healing Hands and Reiki assist in building within the practitioner? My thought is the etheric body. Maybe the astral as well, as symbols and visualization are involved.
After the death of the practitioner, does the effort made in life carry over to greater healing skills in a future life? Are there any benefits from this during the time between lives? If so, what might those be?
