Preparation for Healing

Daily exercises for the healer — joint exercises to open acupuncture meridians, chakra charging (levels 1-7), color breathing, grounding, centering, and caring for the healing space.

⚠ Safety Note

These exercises are for self-care and educational purposes. Hands-on healing techniques should only be practiced with proper training from a qualified teacher. Never attempt healing work when exhausted or ill. Always work within your scope of practice.

Your Energy Field Is Your Instrument

In healing, your field is used as a conduit for healing energies needed by others. Your field must vibrate in the frequency needed — so you'll constantly vary its vibration. This speeds up your own evolution but can deplete you if you don't care for yourself.

You don't generate the energy you transmit — you raise your frequency to match what's needed, then entrain energy from the UEF. As long as your voltage is higher than the patient's, you transmit. If you're too tired, you could pick up negative energies.

Daily Joint Exercises (Open Acupuncture Meridians)

All meridians flow through the joints. Moving the joints activates the meridians. These exercises were developed by Hiroshi Motoyama to open acupuncture channels.

Sit on the floor with legs stretched straight out. Hands on floor beside hips, leaning back on straight arms.

  1. Move only the toes of both feet. Slowly flex and extend. Repeat 10 times.
  2. Flex and extend ankle joints as far as possible. Repeat 10 times.
  3. Keeping heels on floor, rotate ankles 10 times each direction.
  4. Bend right leg at knee, heel near buttock. Straighten without touching ground. Repeat 10 times, then left.
  5. Hold thigh near trunk, rotate lower leg about knee 10 times clockwise, 10 counter. Repeat left.
  6. Bend left leg, foot on right thigh. Gently move bent knee up and down. Repeat right.
  7. Rotate right knee around hip joint 10 times each direction. Repeat left.
  8. Raise arms forward to shoulder height. Stretch fingers, close into tight fist. Repeat 10 times.
  9. Flex and extend wrists 10 times.
  10. Rotate wrists 10 times each direction.
  11. Bend arms at elbows, touch shoulders, straighten. Repeat 10 times, then sideways.
  12. With fingertips on shoulders, lift and lower elbows 10 times. Then point forward.
  13. Rotate shoulder joints — circular elbow movement 10 times each direction.
  14. Do 10+ sit-ups, breathing out each time. Work up to 20.
  15. Touch toes without bending legs. Hold 3 minutes.
  16. Spread legs wide. Reach left toes, then right, then center. Hold 3 minutes.
  17. Head and neck rolls: up/down 10x, side to side 10x, roll clockwise and counterclockwise.
  18. Stand, feet 2 feet apart. Bend left, reach right arm overhead. Repeat right.

Physical Exercises to Charge Chakras (Levels 1-3)

Chakra 1 (Base)

Stand feet wide apart, toes/knees pointed out. Bend knees deeply. Add pelvic swing — push forward and back, emphasizing forward. Rock 3 times going down, 3 at bottom, 3 coming up. Repeat 3+ times.

Chakra 2 (Sacral)

Stand feet shoulder-width, parallel. Rock pelvis back and forth, bending knees slightly. Then "polish a cylinder" with hips — circular motion, all sides even.

Chakra 3 (Solar Plexus)

Requires a partner. Hold hands firmly. One jumps, bringing knees to chest. Jump continuously for several minutes. Switch. Do not bend over to rest.

Chakra 4 (Heart — Back/Will)

On hands and knees. Vary leg/buttock angle until you feel pressure between shoulder blades. Push whole body forward, then pull back, from hips/legs.

Chakra 4 (Heart — Front)

Lean backwards over something large and round (barrel, bioenergetic stool). Feet firmly planted. Relax and let chest muscles stretch.

Chakra 5 (Throat)

Head and neck rolls in all directions. Also responds to sound — sing!

Chakra 6 (Third Eye)

Repeat the chakra 5 movements with the eyes.

Chakra 7 (Crown)

Rub the crown of your head in a clockwise direction with your right hand.

Visualization to Open Chakras (Level 4)

Sit comfortably with back straight. Calm the mind. Then:

  1. Bring awareness to 1st chakra. Visualize a vortex of red light spinning clockwise (viewed from outside body). Breathe in red, breathe out red.
  2. If outgoing color is lighter, you need more red. If muddy, clean the chakra by repeating until in/out colors match.
  3. Maintain 1st chakra, move to 2nd (red-orange). Breathe in/out red-orange.
  4. 3rd chakra: yellow. 4th: green. 5th: blue. 6th: violet. 7th: opalescent white.
  5. See all 7 chakras spinning clockwise. See the vertical power current pulsating up and down the spine with your breath.
  6. Your whole field is filled with light energy.

Color Breathing Meditation to Charge Aura

Stand with feet parallel, shoulder-width apart:

  1. Slowly bend and unbend knees. Breathe out going down, in coming up.
  2. Stretch arms forward, palms down. Add circular hand motion to the up-and-down.
  3. Visualize breathing in colors from the earth (through feet/hands) and from the air around you.
  4. Start with red. See your whole aura fill with red. Breathe out and watch the color.
  5. Continue: orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, white.
  6. For higher vibrations: silver, gold, platinum, crystalline — then back to white.
  7. All higher colors should have an opalescent quality.

Vibrating Exercise for Grounding

Stand with feet parallel, shoulder-width apart. Bend and unbend knees. Keep going until legs begin to physically vibrate involuntarily. If they don't, start a vibration by quickly bouncing on your heels.

Allow vibrations to work up into upper legs and pelvis. With practice, they spread over the whole body. This creates strong energy flow throughout your body.

Sitting Meditations for Centering

Sit for 10-15 minutes. Back straight and comfortable.

Mantra Meditation

"Be still and know that I am God." Keep consciousness focused on the mantra. If mind wanders, bring it back.

Counting Meditation

Count: 1 in, 2 out, 3 in, 4 out... to 10. Every time your mind wanders to another thought, go back to 1. Very few people reach 10 on the first try!

After meditation, drink a large glass of water. You're ready to begin a day of healing.

Caring for the Healing Space

  • • Choose a room full of direct sunlight with access to open air
  • • Smudge with cedar and sage: Put dried green cedar and sage in an abalone shell. Light it, then extinguish. Walk clockwise from the easternmost point, sending smoke into all corners. The smoke attracts DOR (dead orgone energy) and carries it out the open door.
  • • Crystals around the room collect DOR. Clean them in 1/4 tsp sea salt + 1 pint spring water overnight.
  • • Negative ion generators help clear the room
  • • Never work in an unventilated room or with fluorescent lights (they interfere with aura pulsation)
  • • Epsom salts: Pour alcohol over epsom salts in a saucepan, light it, walk around the room/patient

Caring for the Healer

If you accumulate DOR in your body:

  • • Take a 20-minute bath in warm water with 1 pound sea salt + 1 pound baking soda. Rest afterward (this draws large quantities of energy out).
  • • Lie in sunshine to recharge your system. Be intuitive about how long.
  • • Drink a full glass of spring water after each healing. So should the patient.
  • • Wear crystals: amethyst over solar plexus (strengthens field), rosy quartz over heart (protects heart).
  • • Place crystals on the patient: rosy quartz in left hand, clear quartz in right, amethyst with iron on 1st/2nd chakras (grounding), smoky quartz at solar plexus.

The Golden Rule for the Healer: First, the self and what nourishes the self; then, deep pause for consideration; then, the nourishment of others. Healers who don't follow this will suffer burnout and risk disease from energy depletion.
