Welcome to Chios Healing Level II. This level will assist you in greatly adding to your healing power and repertoire of healing techniques.

   As you begin your study of this level, you will benefit by receiving the second Chios energy attunement. This attunement is significantly more powerful than the attunement you received in the first level. It will assist you in channeling much larger amounts of healing energy, and will make your hands much more sensitive to energy flows in the human energy field as you practice the passing-of-hands. It will additionally enable you to effectively perform the many healing techniques that you will learn in this course. Because it is a strong attunement, it is important that you be as rested and pure as possible, in both body and mind, on the day the attunement is given, so that you may receive its full benefits.

The Importance of Holistic Awareness and Action in Healing:

   In your study of Chios Level I, you began to work with the energy—you began to channel energy and learn to sense the human energy field with your hands. As you know, the energy field is composed of the aura and the chakras, and it is energetic defects within them that result in afflictions and illness in body, mind and spirit. In this level, you will expand your ability to sense the condition of your patient’s aura and chakras, by learning to receive psychic information and guidance. You will also begin to learn to see the aura and the chakra colors for yourself. You will learn to channel much greater amounts of healing energy which, in combination with the healing techniques you will learn, will increase your ability to heal energetic defects in the aura and chakra system. You will also begin to use color and light in your healing work, in addition to the energy.

   The human energy field is composed of the aura and the chakra system. The aura exists in seven layers or bodies, beginning with the etheric body. Each layer of aura relates to its corresponding chakra—from 1st to 7th. The etheric body, or 1st layer of aura, is an energy body which closely follows the outlines of the physical body, and which consists of the energetic operations that support the biological and chemical processes that operate within the physical body. You have begun to sense the energy of this etheric body through your practice of the passing-of-hands, and have also probably begun to sense energetic defects within it.

   You will now begin to work towards acquiring the ability to sense and view this 1st layer, and eventually the higher layers of aura, as well. The emotional body, or 2nd layer of aura, and the mental body, or 3rd layer of aura, are intimately connected to the emotional life and mental life, respectively. During your practice of this level, it is very possible that you will begin to gain information on phenomena in these higher layers of aura, and perhaps even begin to see them. They will begin to become involved in your sensing and your healing techniques.

   These layers of aura, as well as the remaining higher ones, interpenetrate and form a seven-layered higher energy field around the physical body, an energy field that supports all the various facets of our worldly life and which is a direct indicator of our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual state of being. Each layer of this energy field works upon a successively higher level of “vibration,” and although these successively more refined levels become increasingly difficult to sense, they bear a vital relationship to our innermost nature and life experience, at all levels. Energetic defects within the energy field of the patient can profoundly influence the physical, emotional and mental life, sometimes resulting in disease. In this course you will practice techniques that allow you to sense and then correct these defects, particularly on the lower layers of aura. In Chios Level III you will learn further techniques to sense and see the higher aura layers.

   There are seven major chakras in the chakra system, each of which corresponds to a different aspect of our being and which bears relationship to its corresponding layer of aura. The 1st chakra, for example, is a regulator of physical vitality and physical life, and bears a close relationship to the first layer of aura—the etheric body—which is the energetic pattern for the operation for the physical body. As one proceeds from the 1st chakra (located near the base of the spine) to the 7th chakra (located at the crown of the head), each chakra displays a successively more complex and more spiritual mode of functioning, although each relates to the others and functions as a part of the chakra system. These chakras also each have a characteristic color, from red (1st chakra) to violet (7th chakra). Energetic defects in the operation of the chakras are common in most human beings, and often also accompany many forms of illness. You will, in this level, begin sensing and treating simple energetic defects in the chakras. In Chios Level III, some very advanced methods of chakra healing are explored.

   It is important to know, however, as you practice all the techniques in this level (and those in Chios Level III), that it is the holistic awareness and action of the healer that makes effective perception and effective healing treatment possible. All of these parts of the human energy field interrelate in their operation, and so you must not limit your awareness, as you work, but must remain open to the entire condition of your patient, and to the entirety of whatever holistic healing is necessary and is taking place, instead of remaining too focused on any particular part of the energy field or any particular energetic phenomenon within it. The various parts of the energy field—the chakras, and the layers of aura and the phenomena within them—are not to be thought of as separate entities, but as parts of a greater whole that work together. Each affects all the others, and all work, in a holistic way, to make up the health and state of being of the individual.

   For example, in addition to the important relationship between each chakra and its corresponding layer of aura, there are energetic relationships that exist between the chakras in the chakra system, and between each layer of aura and the others. The content and activities of the 3rd layer of aura, for example, are often tied to those of the 2nd layer, and faulty conditions reflected in both these layers of aura often “filter down” into the etheric body and eventually result in physical disease. Of course, conditions in one or more of the chakras are often intimately involved. Should you find yourself treating a condition in this first layer of aura, you must not limit your awareness to this “isolated” energetic condition you are treating, but must remain open, allowing impressions of conditions on the layers of the patient’s aura, the state of the patient’s chakras, and correlating conditions in the psychology and life experience of your patient to form in your mind, including impressions on the proper course of treatment. Life, and the energy field of living things, cannot be fully understood intellectually, nor purely on the basis of the operation of “parts,” but on a holistic perception of the whole. The body, the emotions, the mind and the spirit of the patient interrelate, always, to create the state of holistic health of the individual.

   The way that a healer cultivates this expanded holistic awareness is through openness. Of all the qualities that the energy healer must cultivate in order to heal effectively, perhaps openness is the most important. The healer must remain open to the entirety of the patient’s condition and to whatever information and guidance may assist in treatment, even while treating one particular area in the patient’s energy field. If the awareness and action of the healer are limited to one part of the energy field, other important aspects of the patient’s condition may remain unknown and untreated. An effective healing treatment is not a preprogrammed and predetermined process, but a process whereby a complete understanding and awareness of the patient’s condition emerges in the whole being of the healer during treatment, and wherein the healer allows an organic and complete treatment of the patient to unfold as he or she works. This is true, even though the healer uses specific perceptual and healing techniques.

   In this level you will study many new techniques, but is important to understand that all of these healing techniques are not different from yourself. They are not separate tools that exist apart from your use of them, but must be used in a holistic way. As you have probably begun to experience in your healing work, there is, ideally, a holistic awareness of the unity between yourself, the energy field of your patient and the healing energy itself, as healing is performed. You must come to a similar state of unity with each of these perceptual and energetic healing techniques that you will learn in this course. With each healing tool, you must come to experience yourself, the energy field of your patient, and the healing technique as all one. Your primary goal, as healer, is not to become preoccupied with any particular technique, but with the overall expansion of awareness and becoming a pure channel to the healing power. This is what provides you the ability to provide genuine spiritual healing (holistic healing) to your patient. True healing work begins and ends in this awareness, and not in technique alone.

   Effective practice of the art of energy field healing requires this unity in the perceptions and actions of the healer. This is true because the healer is a channel through which the knowledge contained in the field of consciousness is brought to the healer to assist the healing effort, as well as through which the healing power implicit in the field of pure consciousness is channeled, in certain ways, so as to effect healing in the patient. Whatever perceptual abilities you acquire are based upon your connection to this larger realm of awareness, and whatever healing power you are able to exercise likewise comes from this higher realm of pure being, also. To get the full knowledge and guidance available from this realm, and to most fully access the healing power that is available to you, you must maintain this holistic awareness—this unity between yourself, your patient, and whatever healing activities in which you engage during treatment. It is the realm of pure being, a higher realm of awareness, that connects the healer, the person being healed, and the manner and methods of the healing work.

   As you master the specific techniques in this level, seek also to elevate your awareness further into this higher realm. As you heal, this higher awareness must begin to be your guide, and not any specific guidelines or techniques. All of the instruction in this level and in all other Chios levels is not intended merely to give you specific tools and techniques, but especially to assist you in contacting and working with a higher realm of awareness—to assist you in discovering and developing the inner conscious abilities you already have. Always seek to maintain a holistic awareness of yourself, your patient and the realm of pure awareness from which the knowledge and power that effect the healing spring. The art of energy field healing is much more than the sum of the many techniques the healer uses; it is contained, and is a holistic expression, of this higher realm of consciousness.
