The Times They Are A Changing

There are many forms of healing that use the vibration of energy. It’s source can be attributed to the source, universal chi (qi, ki, qui), God. The credit given usually depends on a person’s spiritual beliefs. Actually, I believe all healing is centered on vibrational energy, even western medicine. The chemicals in drugs have vibrations that effect your body. We’ve discussed a few of the alternative healing forms in past articles - color, flower essences, gemstones, sound/music, reiki and so on. These are two more methods. If you are further interested, there are many good books and references on the internet.

Acupuncture and Acupressure are two ancient Chinese healing methods using the same premise. Most people have heard of them and some have even tried acupuncture when they could get no relief for a condition through traditional western medicine. As many non-western forms of healing are used by more people, they become more accepted as acupuncture has. Both acupuncture and acupressure work on the belief that blockages are created in the body that do not allow for the healthy flow of energy. With very thin needles or hand pressure at particular energy pathways, the blocks can be dissipated.

Lucid Dream Healing. Lucid dreams are those that when in the dream state, you realize you are dreaming. It’s a merging of subconscious, unconscious and the conscious states. If you’ve never had this experience, it’s quite something to suddenly realize you are dreaming and decide to try flying or ask what the dream is trying to tell you. What if you “woke up” in your dream and tried healing an ailment. Of course, we know that sleep, alone, is healing. Some experienced lucid dreamers have been able to direct healing to specific ailments. The first step to becoming a lucid dreamer is to work on remembering your dreams and writing in a journal. Although, many people have found particular ways to induce a lucid dream, perhaps the easiest is to say, “tonight I will have a lucid dream,” over and over before going to sleep. Be patient, eventually it will happen.

Once you find yourself in a lucid dream, how you handle a dream situation may be healing in itself. Consider your dream is something scary. Perhaps another person is coming at you in an aggressive manner. Realizing it is a dream, takes your fear away, allowing you to react in a different manner. What if you purposely conjured up love in your heart towards the aggressor, grabbed his hand and spoke softly and reassuringly to him. After all, he is a part of you that needs healing. It’s all vibrational energy.
