The Healer and Spiritual Enlightenment

"There is a light that shines beyond all things on earth, beyond us all, beyond the heavens, beyond the highest, the very highest heavens. This is the Light that shines in our heart."

—Chandogya Upanishad (circa 7 th to 8 th century B.C.E.) Sacred philosophical Hindu literature.

To be a true healer you must have both your crown and heart chakras opened.

The same condition applies for gifted teachers and counselors.

On a psychic and spiritual level, the crown chakra as one of the seven major chakras or energy centers is positioned over the top of the head. It is through the crown chakra that Divine Intelligence above directs energy downwards. This energy is known as chi, universal energy or god force and has a powerful healing component to it.

A spiritually awakened or enlightened person can work with this energy. This individual has the ability to activate and "open up" the crown chakra. This allows this higher vibration of energy to enter into the crown, top of the head including the brain, the body and the aura. This person working as a healer can then send this energy into a patient or subject.

As stated, the heart chakra of a healer must be activated and opened also in order for true healing to occur. We are all aware of religious statues and paintings portraying Jesus with a Sacred Heart within the chest area. This "Sacred Heart" is more than a religious symbol. On a metaphysical and spiritual level, this represents the healing energy that is stored within the heart chakra or energy center. This is a very real energy that is contained inside the middle of the chest just beside the physical heart itself. It can be referred to as love energy or healing energy.

When a spiritually awakened healer focuses on love, the heart chakra will activate and then open up. This will feel like a warm, soothing energy spreading across the heart chakra and chest. This indicates that the healing energy stored here is now being released.

This released energy will have a two-fold effect. It will flow through the healer's own chakras and body sending healing to where it is needed. As well, this love or healing energy can flow down the healer's arms, into the hands and then enter the client or patient. This healing energy from the heart along with the universal energy or chi, will work into the patient and stimulate that person's own healing abilities within.

Spiritual enlightenment is a goal that everyone should seek. A spiritually developed or enlightened person affects the world around them in wondrous ways. When you become enlightened, your soul within will become a beautiful light to others.
