As we have seen in the previous exercise, we do not need to touch the receiver in order to send energy. In fact, energy may be sent over some distance. This is possible because of the fluid, dynamic nature of electromagnetic force. Sending healing energy does not depend on how near we are to the receiver, but on how well we are managing the energy. Energy may even travel over great distances for

the purpose of healing friends and family across town, in another city, or even on the other side of the world. In this case, the giver or sender acts as an energy transformer, con-verting the natural up-and-down energy flow to a horizontal direction, as illustrated.
To practice distant healing, we use good pre-paratory steps as in all palm healing practice
—clearing our aura, calming the mind with meditation, and generating healing ability. In addition to the direction given to energy through the palms, mental visualization is very helpful in this exercise. Try distant healing for your relatives who live far away, and see if they experience any good results.
B. Distant healing dynamics:
Healer sends energy and positive mental image to other person, even many miles away.
1. Distant Healing Exercise. For this exercise, face in the direction of the person or persons to whom you wish to send healing force. If you do not know the loca-tion, face to the south (if you are in the Northern Hemisphere), to benefit from the flow of energy down from the
north pole. (If in the Southern Hemi- 3 5 l a- starting posture 36 lb. ciap.

of health and happiness (not in a sick or troubled condition, but as you hope they will become). Continue two to three minutes or as long as you like, d. Lower your hands into your lap and sit quietly a moment, then relax.
2. Group Distant Healing. The same distant healing exercise may be practiced by a group for added energy. Several variations on this practice may be used as described below.
a. The group forms a line, each person extending the palms toward the back of the next person as illustrated. The person at the front of the line extends the palms in the direction of the person to whom healing is being sent.

d. The group sits in a circle and everyone sends energy toward the center of the circle, at the same time with the mental image of the re-ceiver, in a state of health, as though he or she were actually in the center of the circle.

3. Sending a Protective Shield. This exercise in distant healing uses a yang, counterclockwise circle and a focused hand position to create a protective energy for someone at a distance. The receiver gains a warm, secure influence. Their energy system is firmed up, allowing them to overcome weakness and resist pro-blems.
a. Sit facing in the direction of the person to whom you wish to send a pro-tective, healing influence. Begin with hands in the Unifying Position, calm the mind with meditation, clear the aura, and generate healing power.
Breathing is natural and full.
d.
Next, hold your hands in the Focusing Position as described in Chapter 3, hands resting in the lap, the right thumb and index finger touching the tips of the left thumb and index finger, and the remaining fingers folded. Extend the hands forward in this position, in the direction of the receiver.
Now begin to send distant healing, keeping a positive mental image of the person, chanting "Su" or "A-U-M." Meanwhile, move the hands slowly in a large, counterclockwise circle as though drawing a protective line around the person. Chant at least three times, making a circle with each chant.
Lower the hands and relax, keeping the positive mental image for a moment longer.
Distant Healing for Accomplish-ment: Spiral pattern
4. Distant Healing for Accomplishment.
This exercise uses the principle of the contractive spiral to help a person at a distance focus and unify his or her ener-gies. The receiver's ability to overcome difficulties and accomplish goals is en-hanced.
a. Sit facing in the direction of the person who needs this assistance.
Begin with bands in the

ing Position, calm the mind with meditation, clear the aura, and generate healing ability, breathing naturally and fully.
b. Extend the palms toward the person to whom you wish to send this focusing, healing energy. Move the hands out a little, in order to begin making a large spiral with each hand in an inward direction.
c. The first orbit of the spiral is large. Each orbit becomes slightly smaller after that, as the spiral contracts. When you reach the center of the spiral, each hand will be a little to the side, as shown. When making the entire spiral, chant "Su" or "A-U-M" in one long breath.
d. When you reach the center of the spiral, give one sharp, clear clap. This gives a spark of energy that assists in the impetus to achievement.
e. Repeat the spiral three to five times, each time chanting one long chant while making the spiral, and each time finishing with a sharp clap at the center.
f. Lower your hands to the lap, sit quietly for a moment, and relax.
The exercises given in this chapter provide basic examples for the use of palm healing for groups, for one's self, and for friends or family at a distance. They offer endless possibilities for practice and study, as well as for the creation of new exercises using these as guidelines, to increase the health and happiness of our loved ones.
