I like what Gene Ang Ph.D. said in a recent radio interview, and wanted to share this as so many folks feel as if they have to be gifted, or particularly trained to be of service. I was also impressed he mentioned A Course in Miracles--since that is where my beliefs around disease were shattered as well. I no longer use the Course per se, but I want to give it credit.
Ho'oponopono really starts with your surroundings and what's out of kilter (i.e. dis-ease), look at your shared consciousness, and then clear what's been hidden (until now). It requires no medical degrees, no psychology degrees nor formal training.
There are ways to heal instantaneously, and those too also require giving up the belief that only people with credentials are healers. I once read someone say that their teacher/trainer said, "Healing is not something you do, it is something you are."
In any case, the types of healing I have had dropped into my lap require a willingness to be completely present, and also not view an imbalance in another as "them," not "me." The notion of discrete, disparate objects and entities starts to fall apart as you delve into this more, and a singular fluid Oneness makes more and more sense (it doesn't quite work as a philosophy, or a system of belief, so keep open inquiry until it is direct experience).
This is from a radio interview on the Shiela Gale show, June 9th, 2011:
Q: {Paraphrased from audience question emailed in} She says she is trying to help everyone around her immediate sphere who seems depressed. "I would love to do what you do and help people around me, myself, and others...."[Actually if that many people "around" her, are depressed, ho'oponopono would be perfect. Look into her own reactions and projections on depression, then be thankful for having this be shown and out into the light, love, forgive, clear.]
Sheila [radio interviewer and host]: {Paraphrased } I think there are a lot of people needed to become healers on the planet, and maybe people that are looking for new ways to make money.
Gene Ang Ph.D., Pranic Healing practicitioner (plus other modalies, and formally trained at Yale as a neurobiologist):"The thing that came out a lot with the Reconnective Healing philosophy and what they're trying to do is to point out that healing is not really a special gift. Like we were just saying, everyone has the healing ability: both self-healing ability and the ability to facilitate even miraculous healings for others. And because of the acceleration occurring during this time... on the positive note that means a lot of different abilities really don't take the same kind of, what I we expected before, where a person would have to train for ten or twenty years to facilitate really beautiful healings, it can really occur right away when a person is open to it. So that is a possibility. And that's happening to a lot of people."
I know this is a bit off, but this reminded me of online RPGs that have characters called "healers." I think this concept you're talking about was used by the creators of these games… A healer character can heal itself and other characters around it. I guess it's also possible for us.
