Jack Angelo - Distant Healing: A Complete Guide

Love is an energy with the power to unite, harmonize, and heal, and it is unconditional in its action. Distant Healing is the transmission of this energy, through a persons desire and intention to help, to where it is needed. Instead of being present, as in hands-on healing or other forms of energy therapy, the subject is at some distance from the healerhence distant healing. (When Distant Healing is capitalized, it refers to the special method and techniques described in this book.)

The great advantage of this form of healing is that the subject can be a person, an animal, a plant, an environment, or even a situation. This book explains how Distant Healing works, how to do it, what happens during the process, and the different ways in which it can be used. Distant Healing can be applied to friends and family, pets and the home, the environment, and societal and global problems. The book is accessible, at a number of levels, to anyone interested in healing energies and to all who want to work with those energies. This includes beginners, as well as practicing energy workers, therapists, and health-care professionals.

From the Distant Healing perspective, healing energies come from the Source of all energya Oneness, which religious people call God. The energies thus originate outside the space-time frame of the physical level and are not governed by its laws until they enter this level. This means they can travel to another person, another being, landscape, or situation, at any distance from us, in an instant.

There are factors and situations where hands-on help is just not possible. For example, distance prevents certain people from traveling. This is the case with the disabled, those in some kind of confinement, those with a mental or behavioral condition, the sick, and of course those who live just too far away. As a Distant Healer, none of these factors presents a barrier to your being able to offer help.

Similarly, because it is able to work at an energetic level, Distant Healing is an ideal way to address the two urgent issues of our timeenvironmental and societal problems, whether local or global.

The feeling that you want to help another or do something about a situation is the instinct to heal. When people ask me if they need special qualifications to work as a Distant Healer, I assure them that the most important qualification is this instinct, which comes from the heart.

I have always been fascinated by the fact that people in all cultures throughout recorded time have been laying hands on others to ease pain, to relieve symptoms, and often to completely heal a condition. This is not surprising when you consider that when we hurt ourselves, our first instinct is to put our hands on it. When this happened to us as children, our mother opened her arms to cuddle us and kiss it better. This instinct is a loving gesture that comes before any rational thought of what to do about it. You dont need to think about how to be loving or supportive; you just do it.

In the mid-1980s, I was encouraged to discover what this meant in practice. Months of chronic back trouble and sciatica had baffled my doctor, and he suggested that I visit a spiritual healer. After all, he said, what have you got to lose? After two short sessions of hands-on work with the healer, my back trouble was considerably improved, and I pondered how it was done. But my visits had convinced me that I already knew how hands-on healing was done. I had been doing it for others since I was a child.

My encounter with this healer proved to be life changing. I was a curious patient, and Dennis, my healer, did his best to answer my questions but assured me that I would make my own discoveries. This launched me into the world of healing and subtle energy medicinethe therapies that work with subtle energies. Subtle energies travel at speeds beyond the speed of light, so they are not visible to normal sight and everyday sensing. Because of this, some people have found this fact of life difficult to understand or accept.

I had been aware of these energies ever since I could remember; sometimes I saw them, but more often than not, I sensed them in some other way. For example, I saw light around people. When they were angry or unhappy, this light became frighteningly dark. When I sat with old people, my hands would sometimes tingle or get warm. To me, this type of awareness was quite normal, and I assumed that everyone was like me. As I grew up, I discovered that we all have the natural ability to sense subtle energies, even if we dont exercise it. It is exciting to realize that healing energies fall into this category. They are subtle, but they can certainly be sensed or felt by most of us.

The healer described his work as the action of love. This energy came from the Source, then traveled through him and into the patient. It was love that did the healing. He saw this as complementary to everyday medicine and not as an alternative or last resort for the desperate. Denniss assertion that love could heal did not sound corny to meit sounded obvious, but I had never heard any sort of therapy described in this way before.

Quite soon after my time with Dennis, I had the chance to consider his point of view and to put it into practice while on a trip to Italy. Readers of Your Healing Power may recall this story. I repeat it here because it tells how I started distant healing and how, in this field of therapy, you can expect the unexpected. I spent my first night in the beautiful Tuscan town of San Gimignano in a family home. As I lay awake planning the research I was to do in the coming month, little did I know that I was beginning a life in healing. The house had been quiet for some time when suddenly a rasping sound broke the silence. Grandfather Fanciulli was coughing. On and on he coughed, until the coughs changed to groans and cries of desperation. The rest of the house remained still. No one went to his aid. Perhaps the family slept through it because they were already used to these harrowing sounds, and they felt powerless to bring him any form of relief.

I wanted to help him. I was lying on my back, and something made me put my hands outside my bedclothes as if I could send some healing toward the grandfather. To my surprise, my palms and fingertips began tinglinga feeling at once strange yet oddly familiar. I mentally asked for help to be sent to the old man. The next moment his coughing stopped abruptly. The house returned to silence, and I dropped off to sleep.
