New Age Healers and
Crystals
Channeling A method similar to that
used by Spiritists in which a spirit of a long dead individual
is conjured up. However, while Spiritists generally believe
that one's soul remains relatively unchanged after death, most
channelers believe that the soul evolves to higher planes of
existence. Chanelers usually try to make contact with a single,
spiritually evolved being. That being's consciousness is
channeled through the medium and relays guidance and
information to the group through meditation
forms and the like, through the use of the medium's voice.
Channeling has existed since the 1850's and many groups
consider themselves independent of the New Age movement.
Perhaps the most famous channeling event is the popular A
Course in Miracles. It was channeled through a Columbia
University psychologist, Dr. Helen Schucman, (1909-1981), over
an 8 year period. She was an Atheist, and in no way regarded
herself as a New Age believer. However, she took great care in
recording accurately the words that she received.
- Crystals:
Crystals are materials which have their molecules arranged
in a specific, highly ordered internal pattern. This
pattern is reflected in the crystal's external structure
which typically has symmetrical planar surfaces. Many
common substances, from salt to sugar, from diamonds to
quartz form crystals. They can be shaped so that they will
vibrate at a specific frequency and are widely used in
radio communications and computing devices. New Agers
believe that crystals possess healing energy.
The processes of healing spiritually or through
alternative medicines has been seriously and thoroughly
researched. Some experts also discovered a covert communication
process that we do every time we speak. It is
called Reverse Speech. Clear and meaningful words
and phrases can be heard when spoken dialogue is recorded and
played backwards. I know it sounds hokey but it's true.
One interesting breakthrough is the fact that our subconcious
can hear and understand these reverse phrases. Many of which
are meaningful metaphores similar to Jungian archetypes.
Meditating or
A process of blanking out the mind and releasing oneself from
conscious thinking. This is often aided by repetitive chanting
of a mantra, or focusing on an object.
Energy is the substance that
can be described as All That Is. Every thing exists in the form
of energy. Our thoughts are included in this , as the unspoken
word is an energy wave that is sent out and travels in the
direction given. We therefore have been given a very powerful
tool to work with, to co-create our lives and the Universe for
that matter. Decisions can be influenced, peoples health can be
changed and your quality of life can change for the better or
the worse. Life is about choices. It is totally up to you as to
what kind of energy wave you want to send out and what you want
to receive. Imagine yourself as a computer that is always on.
You create your own life and destiny by choosing your data for
entry into your computer program. As a thought wave is sent
out, it interacts with the wave patterns of the person or
activity it is directed at. When waves meet they can be added
or subtracted depending on if the wave pattern is positive or
negative. We can therefore get a superimposed wave , positive
or negative. It doesn't stop there, as energy cannot be
destroyed. These energy packets/waves get sent round and round.
We have the power, we have been given the power to influence
the existence of All That Is. Waves have certain
characteristics. They can be superimposed, they get reflected
and they can change direction e.g. In other words, if your
energy waves are directed at a certain activity or person you
will influence that flow or pattern of waves in a certain
fashion.
- New Age Music: A gentle, melodic,
inspirational music form involving the human voice, harp,
lute, flute, etc. It is used as an aid in healing, massage
therapy and as
general relaxation music.
- Divination :The use of various
techniques to foretell the future, including I Ching,
Pendulum movements, Runes, Scrying, Tarot Cards.
- Negativity and diseases:- Why do
people get sick? When a person receives too much or chooses
to be surrounded by negative energy waves, the spirit
starts vibrating at a lower frequency than is intended.
When that happens, the physical vehicle gets sick. The sick
person sets off to the Medical Doctor, and could be so
sick, that he /she will tell the doctor they would rather
die than coping with the disease. The thought of not being
able to get better is reinforced by saying it. You now have
2 negative waves you can add up, and so your negative wave
pattern is created. You cause your body that is already
vibrating at a lower frequency than your spirit, to vibrate
even slower. If your template is a negative one, be assured
of constant disease and unhappiness.
The New Age system thorughly believe in that you create
your own relaity and hence your healing is in your
hands.
