    he Universe. Enlightenment is developing ones intuit ion and becoming directly aware ofhe Tao, the dance of li fe. In such c ircumstances, the enlightened person's every actionould be correct and timely and would always lead to the most favorable outcome.

    i, the Yin and Yang essence of the Universe runs throughout our human bodies andhroughout nature as well. Acupuncture was developed to correct imbalances in thenergy or Qi flows in the human body. The first record of Acupuncture is found in the700 year old Huang Di Nei Jing (Yellow Emperor's Class ic o f Internal Medicine). This is

    aid to be the oldest medical textbook in the world. Yin is signif ied by female attributes,assive, dark, cold, moist , that which moves medially, and defici ent of Yang. Yang isgn ified by male attribu tes, light, active, warm, dry, that which moves laterally, andeficient of Yin. Nothing is completely Yin or Yang. The Tao is the universal symbolescribing the cons tant flow of Yin and Yang forces. One wi ll not ice that within Yin, there Yang, and within Yang, there is the genesis of Yin.

    hrough the body and over its surface. These energy channels, called meridians, are likevers flowing through the body to irrigate and nourish the tissues. An obstruction in the

    movement of these energy rivers is like a dam that backs up the flow in one part of theody and restricts it in others.

    he improved energy and biochemical balance produced by acupuncture result s inimulating the body's natural healing abilities and in promoting physical and emotionalell-being.

    ttp://www.rainbowcrystal.com/power/poweranimals http://www.geocities.com/~animalspirits

    Native Americans and other tribal peoples recognized that because we'rell related in the Circle of Life, animals will reveal themselves in visions andhare their power or energy. Shamans and primary peoples have alwayseen connected to the animals, both physically and psychically. Theyossess a spiritual connectedness, an inner knowingness, as well as livinglosely and harmoniously with animals. Animals live from the heart, with aeep inst inctual knowing that is fi rmly connected to the entire circle of life.

Sometimes Powernimals come as visionary help through a specific stage or challenge inne's life. People may also seek or be gifted with an animal that stays withhem their whole lives.

    NATIVE AMERICA Folk Healer

    We are all in danger of becoming spiri tually deaf and mute, because were losing contact with our natural environments. We live in an artificial

    world, a land of concrete jungles, where man has become a consumerather than a creator. Within this world, our hungers are placated, but were not really nourished."

    Once we can honor the balance that is needed to know ourselves well,hen we can learn to nourish ourselves, to be healthy and well, and toreate a planet that reflects that well-being."

    This wholis tic approach is used the world over by natural people livingwith the land and with the Spiri t in all things. By helping the person tochieve or to re-achieve their proper flowing within the larger pattern,ealing is accompl ished .

    ARTH Dolphins, Holographic Resonance Healers

    Dolphins heal on all levels, mind, body and spirit . Many Dolphin Ass istedherapists have experienced a strong connection and telepathic communication

    with dolphins. Patricia Saint-John met the dolphins and had deep telepathicxperiences with them. She found that by being in the state of mind she had withhe dolphins she was able to telepathically contact autist ic ch ildren and had muchuccess in improving their functioning and communication. Michael Hyson, Ph.D,

    was once swimming with Liberty Dolphin in Florida. In the murky water heccidentally jammed his elbow into Libertys blowhole area. The dolphin cameround in front of Michael and at about 2 1/2 feet from his chest began to put out aigh intensity, fairly low frequency sound, probably less than a 1000Hz. First, atow power, he could feel the water v ibrate. Then Libertys power increased and he

    elt the water in front of his chest get warmer . Then, Liberty increased power againnd he felt hi s chest wall get warm. Then he changed frequency and soon, all

    Michaels chest hairs were vibrating - even in the water, so st rongly that his wholehest tickled with an intense buzz. Liberty stopped his sounds at this point.

    Michael had the distinct impression that he was just showing me part of what heould do , something like: " This is just a demonst ration, I could do a lot more, I'must warming up"

    EGs of the human sub jects reduced in frequency and increased in power afterwimming with free dolph ins. All systems have natural f requencies at which theyrefer to vibrate. An external energy of the proper frequency and with the properming or phase near a systems natural frequency will cause the system to vibrate

    with or resonate with the external energy. http://www.planetpuna.com/dolphin-aper-html/dolphin-paper.htm

    ttp://seichim.doctor.bg/history.html

    ncient Egyptian healing techniques and wisdom originate from knowledge of the

    rchitecture of all spheres of life. Hesi-Ra was the secret Master Architect-riest who held more knowledge than the pharaohs. Most people have beenaught that the pyramids were tombs to transport one into the after-life when inctuality they were energy conversion devices used for spiritual evolution andther earth-spirit energy connections. The Eye of Horus below was typically seen

    when Egyptian hierophants were meditating. It also symbolizes the spirit energyoming into the physical at the top of the pyramid.

    GYPT Master Architect-Priest

    The method used in Ancient Egypt for strengthening energy flows within auman body is shown above left. Above right is a picture of actualgyptian healing rods taken at the Metropol itan Art Museum in 1998.

    wo rods are clutched in the hands of these standing figures. The hands,olding the rods free energy within the body to gather any unipolar knotsnd [activate the] spinal f luid. The renewal of energetic potential isundred-per-cent and continues for 24 hours.

    Records indicate the Rods were held during the Pharaohs enti re life. Theyarmonized the two main energetic st reams, " Yin-Yang" which are tworinciples, opposite and unified, different and homogenous at the same

    me. The Ancient Egyptians used the Rods with different fillings toegulate the energetic balance of a body. The first one was made usuallyor the right , another one for the left hand. The first possessed the power ofhe Sun, the second - of the Moon. The Priests and Pharaohs of Ancientgypt used these metal cylinders wi th different fi llings as an ins trument tochieve their high aims that allowed them to realize step-by-step evolutionf their psychic, energetic and as consequence, their physical abilities.hese abilities were necessary for preparation of the "Communication with

    he Gods" combined with the help of the Pyramids. The above was takenount Stefan Colonn Walewskis manuscript and the following website. ttp://www.rods.ru/Html/English

    SRAEL Christ Consciousness Healer

    Whether one believes in the writ ten records of Jesus the Christ or not ,he methods and outcomes of his healings parallel many other ancientultures. His methods could have been naturally present or he could haveraveled to the cultures of that time period and learned the energy or Qiealing methods. By the laying on of hands he healed the blind, the sick,epers, the lame and even the dead. He exorcised demons and other lowerntity spiri ts out of people just as shamans would do in their culture.

    When one sick woman touched him, he felt energy leave him and go intoer. The energy he transmitted was most likely in a similar manner as theolphins, resonant energy shifting the sick persons energy to a healthierrequency. As in Thai massage compassion was also part of the process.
