The Basis of the Arts of Healing

The arts of healing arise inside us whether we want them or not. There are rare humans who have trained themselves to be unaffected by the pain and suffering of themselves and others. Yet even they in their life experiences will often betray their connection with the Spirit of the Earth. So it is that one day we decide to try to do something about it. We look for what we believe are the tools that possess the characteristics necessary to restore health or at the very minimum, the lack of pain.

The goal of every healer is to understand and know enough to apply the right tools in the right situation. To this end, we study how the body and mind are held together by the nervous system, an electromagnetically resonating entity of energy. Each of knows that the pain we feel in a body part is really being felt by the nervous system far away but immediately present. The healer’s art is to align the Spirit of the Earth with the Spirit of the Person using the natural portals of energy and information.

There are many senses that we use beyond the grossly physical. Shaman has always felt that the sense of balance is usually disregarded. Other tools such as taste, touch and aroma offer specific ways of affecting the Spirit of the Person. We follow our path by learning of this and applying this knowledge in all our relationships.
