In the late 1990s, Guruji had initiated a few students into a Healers’ Group. Only those who had reached a certain Chakra Activation Stage could qualify to join the Group. The healers would have a scheduled meeting, wherein Guruji would give some very special mantras and techniques. In the recent years, especially since the Light Channelling technique was started since 2008, the accent has been on using Divine Light as healing energy. In 2010, while the Light Channels World Movement was blooming beautifully, the healing activity also got revived. This time, it was spearheaded and orchestrated by a kind-hearted meditator, Mr. Manoj Chopra.

In one of the discussions with Guruji, he shared some very good experiences which he had while healing others. He started with an experience while healing his wife, Ms. Rakhee Chopra, who is also a volunteer. “Guruji, some days back Rakhee was suffering from pain. I began sending Divine Light to her and was trying to understand the exact nature and location of the problem. Then something very strange happened. Quite accidentally, I went inside her Astrally and began channelling from within her body! And the very next moment I was back in my body. Was I imagining or did this actually happen?”

As Manoj was narrating the experience, it was evident from the look on Guruji’s face that he was already verifying using his intuition. “That’s a very good experience,” Guruji said happily. Looking at the rest of us he said, “All of us can try this. If someone has pain in their heart, stomach, etc then you can go to that body part, focus your attention, your awareness there and send healing energies. When you put you awareness anywhere, it is as good as you being there. You can literally see the healing occurring. For example, if there is some sickness then you can see some green, red or black patches. As the healing occurs, the patches turn into golden or white light. If you cannot see this happening it does not mean that the process has failed, it is just a thrill.”

He gave a few words of caution as well, “At the same time, please understand that physical distance does not matter. Healing from anywhere in the world always works. With your intuition you will be able to make out the impact.”

Manoj’s next healing experience was also very interesting. “While healing a boy, we saw that a bright ball of Light was formed next to him. It seemed that the healing energies and strong intent from the entire Healers’ Group has concentrated into the ball. The boy was fine within no time.”

“Yes, it happens that way,” Guruji said, “you see, when many send their energies vis-à-vis a few, the globe of Light becomes stronger. It will stay in the system and work towards the recovery. Sometimes the globe will be seen near the head or body. Location doesn’t matter though, because it works.”

In a recent Sunday Class, Guruji had given us many new details about how the healing energy works. There is a special healing energy stored in Taponagara. We pray to the deity in-charge of these energies and request her to heal the patient. Guruji explained that these energies enter the mind and then spread to the body. Every field of energy has its intelligence, so these energies not only relieve pain but also guide. As in, it might recommend a switch in the medical treatment being sought. Here again the guidance is given at a Higher level, so it may appear as a strong thought in the minds of either the patient or his caretakers. Guruji has always insisted that while Spiritual healing is undertaken the conventional medical treatment should be continued.

What surprised us even more, was the fact that the healing energies also remove some of the illness-causing Karma from the patient, and might transfer some of it to the healer. And there is more, because healing is not a simple process. The energies also help the patient to positivise! It does so by making the individual aware of his mistakes, shortcomings, etc. Alertness to the process will help identify the guidance received.

“All suffering, all problems have a Spiritual root cause; there are lessons to be learnt” Guruji had once mentioned. There is more to how the healing process works. Guruji said that he will tell us more in the months to come.

Many New Agers have brought out books on healing the body by changing ones thought patterns and clearing the emotional blocks. Mr. Sunil Bisarahalli had read one such book and asked Guruji whether thoughts directly affect the body or they get converted into some Karma, which later manifests as an ailment. Guruji explained, “Karma comes out of action. Only strong and continuous negative thinking affects. Again the weak thoughts, even if continuous, do not impact. If we hold on to wilful anger, non-love and venom against another then it definitely impacts us, not just them.” This is the reason why Guruji has endlessly emphasised on positivising our thoughts and emotions.

We can heal by ourselves or we can pray to God, will it make any difference? This was Sunil’s next question. Guruji said, “Ultimately, we receive everything from God alone. So it makes no difference as such.” There is certainly a lot more we need to understand about the healing process.

Ms. Sridevi N., a Meditation teacher, very rarely poses questions. This once her question was, “Guruji, can -Meditation help mentally challenged patients?”

“This problem happens when there is some disconnect between the brain and the mind,” Guruji explained. “Maybe these energies will help open-up new brain cells or strengthen old cells. They may even regain normalcy. And again, it all depends on their Karmas. If they have a lot of Karmas, it will take a long time. Even if they do not recover they will have some relief.”

“Will Light channelling help?”

“It will help, but it is difficult to say to what extent. Whether you channel Light or send healing energies, it is always Divine Light which reaches the person.”

Ms. Rakhee shared one of her experiences with oneness. “Guruji, in the last two months I have noticed that when someone I deeply care about falls ill or suffers pain, I also feel the same. The day they recover, I do too. Initially, I brushed this aside thinking of it as a coincidence, but it has occurred a couple of times. Is this because of oneness?”

“This happened because you have strong emotional links with the person,” Guruji clarified. “We relate to everyone around us, but when we are very deeply attached to a person then we share their pain. This attachment is at the level of the mind, hence the impact. It happens naturally. Everybody has their own Karmas, their share of suffering; in spite of this sometimes the Rishis take over some pain. I have done this many times. However, when you experience oneness with the world or with a group, it is at the level of the soul, and so you will not share the suffering.

The point on oneness triggered a question from Manoj, “Guruji, while experiencing oneness, I have realised that emoting is very important. Until we put our heart into it, we cannot experience complete oneness.”

Guruji: “That’s why emotions are very important. That’s why Bhajans are very effective. Whenever we try to experience oneness, we should do it with love. Human love evolves to unconditional Divine Love, which again is an emotion. While relating to another person, Rishi or God, you must employ emotions. Even while contacting the Ascended Masters, start with emotions, the contact will become very easy and very strong.

Why do animals suffer? They do not have Karmas of their own. It is that God has given us an opportunity to extend our compassion and take care of them? This was the next question.

Guruji: “What you said is true. We have to extend our compassion. But animals suffer because they happen to be in this time period. There are global level shared Karmas which everyone, even the animals, go through. There is much more to understand than the simplistic laws of Karma. What the world goes through, Nature goes through as well.

Fortunately, the world is now going through a phase of catharsis. All negativity is surfacing, slowly but steadily. As more Light spreads across the world, human beings, animals, plants and everything in Nature will heal. Let us make our contribution by channelling Light to the whole world and everyone on it.
