Healing Through the Crown

Beginners say it. People who have been healing for years say it. Readers say it too, whatever method they read with, and so do empaths. They give a session, the other person walks away lighter, and they go home needing to lie down.

There is a simple reason for it, and a simple change that fixes it. That change is the first thing I want anyone in this area to learn.

What healing is

Healing is promoting a return to a healthy state. That is the whole definition, and I like it because it is plain.

There are two streams of it. The first is modern medicine, which has countless ways of making us well, and I will always encourage people to seek medical help. The second is the alternative practices, and there are a great many of them. Every one of them should be seen as something that sits beside modern medicine, never in place of it. If you are being treated by a doctor, keep being treated. Nothing on this page or anywhere in this area asks you to stop.

What I teach is energy healing, the laying on of hands, which can be done in person or at a distance. Everything that follows is about that.

Two ways to heal

Energy healing comes in two forms, and the difference between them is the difference between a healer who lasts and one who burns out.

The first is giving your own energy. This is what I have seen most people do over the years. They find they have a limited capacity, a handful of sessions before they are empty, and they complain of being drained afterwards.

The second is giving universal energy. This is by far the more powerful of the two, and it leaves both the person and the healer with plenty of energy at the end.

Your energy is meant for you. You are not a battery charger for other people.

Why the heart drains you

When you sit with someone who is hurting, your natural response is to connect with them from your heart chakra. It is where your caring and your love come from, so of course that is where you reach from. Almost everybody does it by default, without ever deciding to.

There is a belief that healing from the heart lets compassion and love flow. What I have seen happen is something else. Connecting from the heart opens you up in two directions at once. Your own stores of energy flow out of you to the other person, so they feel energised at your expense. And their challenges flow back into you, so you come away drained and burdened by whatever is going on in their life. That is clearly unhealthy for both of you.

The heart is for giving and receiving love, and it is very good at that. Leave it doing that job.

Coming through the crown

So what I encourage you to do is reroute. Instead of reaching out from your heart, let the energy come in through your crown chakra, at the top of your head, and from there pass through you to the person you are with.

Three things happen when you do.

The first is head spins. Nearly everybody gets them at the start. They are normal and they pass.

The second is that you connect to universal energy, and your own energy stops flowing away from you. You become the channel, and your own reserves stay where they are.

The third is the one people notice most. Because the energy is coming from above and through you, you receive as much of it as the person you are working with. You walk away feeling amazing, because your own energy has just been lifted. The person feels better too, from the same lift, and you have taken none of their negativity on board.

Coming through the crown also lets you observe their issues without taking them on. You can see what is there, often very clearly, and leave it where it belongs. Everybody wins, healer included.

Getting the feel of it

I have always said the same thing about this: the full method takes hours to explain and is best taught in a group, where I can watch what people are doing. What I can give you here is where it starts.

The skill underneath it is control, the ability to put your attention where you choose and keep it there. The Body Energy page builds that from your big toes up, and if you have not done that work yet, do it first. As that page says, if you cannot hold your attention in your own big toes, you cannot hold it in your hands for healing.

Then there is an exercise of mine that has nothing to do with healing anybody. Choose a favourite dish, any dish at all, a toasted sandwich will do. Picture it in your breathing meditation in its finest form. Let your intuition choose the ingredients at the shops. Prepare it with love, talking to it as you go, and thank the plate that holds it. Then, as you eat it, feel universal energy coming down through your crown and into your body.

Once you have finished you will discover something, and I would rather you found out for yourself what it is. It lets you feel universal energy coming down through your crown with nobody else in the room.

When a healing is big

Most sessions are quiet. Some are not.

I performed a healing on someone that released a huge amount of toxins all at once. It hit him like a cricket bat. I rarely see a reaction that big, and it reminded me that healing someone comes with real responsibility for the healer. The feedback from him afterwards, and in the days since, was that he had never felt better.

If you see a reaction like that in someone you are working with and you are unsure how to handle it, it can be very daunting the first time, so get help from someone who has seen it before, and you are welcome to contact me.

How you know it is working

You walk away feeling amazing, because your energy has been boosted along with theirs, and you have not carried their negativity home with you.

If you come away drained, nothing is wrong with you. You have connected from the heart again, and the cure is to notice and reroute through the crown.

Where this leads

Before you work on anyone, the Asking Permission page. For what to do when a room or a person feels heavy, the Clearing Negative Energy page. For what to do when the drain comes from people who are not even asking for healing, the Protection page. And the Projecting Energy page in the Energy Work area is the same lesson again, from the other direction.

Healing is ordinary. It is a skill, and it is in you already. All I am doing is showing you the door it comes in by.
