Agenda:
the first thing we will be learning for our first class is the history of psychic healing and we will be discussing what is psychic healing and ect . . . (please take notes) also we will discus why meditation is important.

Class one homework 2/22/13:

practice meditation 10-15 minutes

Notes:

History of Healers:
Healers come down to us through the ages of time immemorial. (Frost Chapter 1)
One of the earliest healers dietics was Isis. (Specialized in healing eye disorders.)

Serapis:
He would heal people in their dreams, but he would only heal them if they took certain actions for his own benefit.

Psychic healing extends around the world. Japanese records show their psychic healing also required them to be obedient to the supernatural healers before healing would be granted.

The temples of the healer god (Esser) may be regarded as the equivalent of today's hospitals. Psychic healers have a more gentle approach.

Healing:
(Some things we may discuss later, the laying of hands.)

Meditation:
Stress is a direct cause of many diseases. The mind causes illness that can become cancerous, this is one of the many reasons why meditation can have a positive effect on us. (Take note, mental health is just as important as your physical health.)

Benefits of meditation/visualization:
Wiccans point out that you can meditate without training and feeling trapped. You can meditate while performing everyday tasks. Meditation reduces chance of illness and expands your life span.

Class two, 2/29/13 (underconstruction)

agenda:
the three types of meditation
Active- hands on
Passive- set at ease
Astral- out of body
(only in a wiccan Paradigm will you see these types of meditation used together)

Homework:
do a little self research about these 3 types of meditation . I will give you the definition for passive meditation because its hard to find.

Notes:
Passive meditation: this form of meditation is to let your mind remain still (unthinking).

Lifestyle: Here we call upon you to do what we call neolithic thinking. Would your ancient ancestors have subjected their bodies to the abuse that some of us might inflict upon ourselves today? drugs substance abuse ect... cutting yourself or hurting yourself.

The power: Call it chi, prana, vrill, the force or whatever. We all have a force within us that we can send out at great distances to heal someone.The same energy can also be used through the laying of ones hands (touch).

Creative visualization:With our own minds we can change our personal future and manifest a healing for ourselves in the days that lie directly ahead of us. You will learn to use visualization to effect a healing.

Class 3/8/13

Agenda: The laying on of the hands

Homework: practice your healing touch


Notes~


This is one of the oldest therapy's still in widespread use.In ancient times the touch of the tribe leader healed its members.You can easily cure a friends headache by putting your hands on his/her head and "wishing" it healed (Frost 21-22).
The technique of therapeutic touch is now taught in schools and colleges to both medical and lay practitioners as simply one healing art among many. The teaching focuses on how every living thing has an energy field or force that extends beyond the physical body.This field used to be called "the human atmosphere" or the "atmosphere of life" now it is generally called the "aura". When this force is unbalanced, illness results. Typically when a bone is broken, there is an interruption of the field at the break. Practitioners pass their hands over the body while concentrating on re balancing the field by visualizing a perfectly smooth and uninterrupted surface. In most cases this is done without actually touching the patient (Frost 22).

Class 3/15/13

Agenda: Reiki VS Therapeutic touch

Homework: try concentrating your energy flow for yourself

Notes~
what is Reiki: Reiki therapy is one of the better-known therapies that use the laying on of the hands as a curative technique. The word itself means "universal life energy". Within Reiki there's two beliefs. (a) the body's own energy can be directed towards healing;and (b) with training a practitioners output can be increased dramatically (Frost 23).

Therapeutic touch and Reiki are parallel but deifferent roads to healing
in therapeutic touch the healer trys to correct the patients problem through the aura. Reiki healers send their own energy into the patients body to fix internal problems (Frost 24).

Therapeutic touch: healer corrects the aura(Frost 25).

Reiki: healer touches the patient and sends in power while visualizing symbol (Frost 25)
