Learning Advanced Energy Healing
Using The Power Of Inner LightFire To Heal Others
Back in 1970, when I began Advanced Meditation training, energy healing wasn't on my radar at all. I was focused on lifting my consciousness through ongoing personal meditation. But when I experienced the amazing energy-healing power of Light in my body, everything changed. My initial experience was so dramatic and life-changing that learning Advanced Energy Healing became an essential goal.
My First Time Receiving Advanced Energy Healing
I started taking classes in Inner Light-Fire meditation, but I wasn't sure I was "doing it right." My friends seemed to be having deeper and more dramatic experiences than I was. I wasn't confident that I was experiencing what I was supposed to, or even if the work was real. Was I just imagining it? Was there something wrong with me? Was this too subtle for me? Is what they taught all hocus pocus and an illusion?
When I spoke to my friends about it, they suggested I schedule an advanced energy healing session with Russell Schofield, the school's founder, and his wife, Carol Ann Schofield.
During Russell's session with me, my body felt stiff, and it was somewhat painful as he stretched me to the edge of my comfort zone. Carol Ann's work was gentler, more precise, and very focused. I had never had bodywork like what they offered me.
After the session, I felt much lighter...physically lighter. I felt more relaxed. I paid for the session and thanked them.
Then I experienced the most profound awakening I had ever experienced:
I left their house, walked out into the late afternoon sunshine, and looked around at the desert landscape where they lived.
First, I became aware that my vision was much clearer and more penetrating than ever before. My peripheral vision was much wider than before. Objects were brighter, more colorful, and brilliant, as if a filter that I had worn all my life had been lifted. The world around me looked crisp, well-defined, and dramatically real.
Then, as I looked around, I noticed everything was actually glowing and alive! The plants and rocks, trees. etc., all radiated an Inner Light. I was awestruck... how could I have never noticed this before?
The world was alive and filled with Light. This aliveness interpenetrated everything. And everything was aware.
As I moved, my body seemed to glide along, almost flying. It took so little effort to move my arms and legs. At the same time, I felt more present and grounded than ever before.
I felt awake, at ease, loose, and almost weightless. I drove home with a sense of wonder and openness.
And inside my mind I was different, too. My thoughts were quiet. There was an amazing silence inside. Instead of being centered in my brain with constant dialogue, I felt "I" throughout my physical body, not just my brain.
I Found What I Was Searching For
At last I had a sense of peace. The LightFire was real, more real than my day-to-day life. And learning energy healing became something I had to study. My path forward was clear.
Learning Energy Healing became a major focus for the next few years, as part of my Advanced Meditation journey. Meditation and energy healing were two parts of a whole.
Within a few years, I directed the school's healing department, teaching students to bring the power of Inner Light-Fire through their hands to lift up others. For the next 15 years, I immersed myself in this journey, offering healing sessions to hundreds of students and teaching numerous bodyworkers how to tap into the radiant power of Light within themselves and others for healing and awakening. I had outstanding clairvoyant teachers who shared what they knew about healing with me.
Advanced Energy Healing
Many Advanced Meditation classes in our Foundation program include learning energy-healing skills. After some meditation sessions, students learn specific hands-on healing patterns from their teacher that relate to the technique they just studied. They receive and then practice on their teacher or fellow students in the class.
When you experience the Inner Light-Fire in meditation, it may feel like physical pressure, vibration, heat, sound, light, or other senses.
When this same Inner Light-Fire comes through your hands, it can feel different. In my classes at the Omega Institute and elsewhere, I've asked participants to describe what the Light feels like between their hands. People use similar words for the Light in their body, but also new words like "tingling," "taffy," or "like a cloud."
Your experience can also be quite dramatic, as my first body session described above was. Or it may be more subtle. As we learn to tune into the Light, to sense it more deeply, we experience more. After years of experience, It's easy for me to experience the Light as energy through my hands because I am so familiar with it.
Inner Light And Healing Energy
Our minds experience Inner Light as light, and our bodies experience it as energy. In Advanced Meditation, healing and awakening aren't separate. They are interrelated. Russell Schofield, the main source for this work, often described it as "the teaching that heals, and the healing that teaches."
As we work with the Light-Fire, we reveal blocks to the Light within us. We often experience these as pain or confusion, or as emotional qualities like grief, anger, or fear. If we can magnify our focus on the Light to cleanse those areas in our body-mind (which can often take some practice) the blocks are transformed, and the energy and awareness within those blocks are release back into your present awareness. Not only do you feel lighter and often more joyful, but healing takes place.
I remember one woman years ago who no longer needed her crutches to walk after just a few sessions with the Light. I'm not suggesting that if you use crutches, the Light will free you so you can throw them away. For her, it was amazing. (Advanced Meditation is not an alternative to standard medicine, but the Light can complement your other health practices. The Light supports and enhances whatever we do.)
The source for the Light is not some master somewhere, or me, or any external source. The source is within you. We can connect with that source in a variety of ways such as prayer, meditation, and other spiritual practices. Advanced Meditation and Energy Healing is one way, one approach to healing and awakening. Learning energy healing can deepen a meditation practice, as it helps clear out obstructions in our and other people's bodies that block our experience of the present moment.
Within Our Wounding Are Treasures To Discover
The way Inner Light-Fire works is to reveal the blocks to our one Light and Love, so these blocks can be transformed. And this is especially true with energy healing. We just don't light someone up, we lovingly express Light into another person in order to reveal these blocks and help our clients work through their issues. Physical pain is often an indication of suppressed feelings, of stuffed down emotions. Being sensitive to the client's experience is vital in learning energy healing.
This sometimes means revealing suppressed feelings, such as grief or anxiety that are trapped in the body. Clients who are ready, may cry or stretch or even shake as pain is revealed and worked through. (I try to keep a tissue box nearby.) I am ready to pause if needed, and I check in with my clients to ask how they are doing periodically throughout my sessions with them.
Learning Energy Healing
Our energy healing techniques can't be learned out of a book. Nor do they stand alone without first practicing the Inner Light-Fire advanced meditation techniques.
As originally taught, only students trained in our school were eligible to receive the bodywork healing. I now see that that was a big mistake in that so few were able to benefit from the healing and awakening power of our hands-on sessions. Keeping the training hidden did a disservice to others who desperately needed it.
The healing and awakening that I and hundreds of others experienced is so vital that I hope to reach out to folks interested in learning energy healing.
The first step is to contact me to begin your Advanced Meditation journey. In the initial healing series, you will learn to experience the power of healing energy between your hands. You can experience the power of the Light on your own, and experience an Energy Assessment to help you focus on your personal healing needs.
What Is Unique About Our Advanced Energy Healing?
Our Advanced Energy Healing sessions are unique in two key ways.
First, we use individual healing energies. Each healing energy has a different purpose and feels different to both the practitioner and client. Some energies are more for relaxation and repair. Others are more energizing. Advanced practitioners have a "toolkit" of life-light energies to draw from.
Second, we teach several specific energy healing sessions. One focuses on the nervous system and helps relieve stress and tension. Another focuses more on releasing stuck states of consciousness that hold us back. While most sessions are full-body, some specialty sessions focus on one part of the body: the arm and leg nerves, the face or neck, the feet, etc. Each of our energy healing sessions is unlike those offered by other systems.
If you're interested in learning energy healing, I recommend starting with the first series of advanced meditation training, since most of the first sessions include hands-on practice.
