Toward Ecosophy

To receive attunement as an Essene Healer, you will need to have learned and practiced all the Candidate, Apprentice, and Healer lessons, and to have received the Apprentice attunement

You will also need to choose some name of the Divine to invoke in your attunement. This may be a personal or an impersonal name.  If you have a relationship with a deity, you may choose to use the name of that deity. If not, you may use an impersonal term such as “the Divine” or “the Universe” in the relevant place.

If you have a religious or spiritual name distinct from your ordinary name, you may use this in the ritual, and there is a specific place for you to reference this in the attunement. If you intend to use your ordinary name, say your full name instead.

Approximately ten minutes before the attunement:

Dress comfortably, leaving the top of your head uncovered.  Sit in a comfortable position, with room for a person to stand behind as well as in front of you. Activate your palm centers as you have already learned to do.  Then enter into meditation, using whatever method you have practiced.

At the time of the attunement:

Become aware of the initiator standing behind you. Hear the following questions being asked, and give the answers out loud.

            Question:          What is your intention?

            Answer:            To become the Healing Heart of (name of the Divine)

            Question:          By what name do you wish to be initiated?

            Answer:            (States religious or spiritual name, magical motto, or ordinary name)

The initiator then says:

            (Name) become now the Healing Heart of (name of the Divine). 

The initiator traces a secret sign on the crown of your head, and then says:

            (Name) receive now the Breath of (name of the Divine) to activate your Healing Heart. 

The initiator breathes on the crown of your head, and traces four more secret signs, then says:

            This will help you establish the Pillar of Love to support your Healing Heart. 

The initiator moves around you to stand in front of you and says:

This completes the attunement.

After the attunement:

Remain in meditation for a few more minutes to allow the attunement process to complete itself. For the weeks that follow, it is helpful to keep track of any new experiences you may have and to write down any unusual dreams you may recall.

"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.
