As a preface let me outline some aspects of bioenergetic interactions that occur every day regardless of whether people are aware of them or not.
Relationships between parents and children, teachers and students, su-pervisors and subordinates, spouses, as well as our sympathies and antipa-thies in any group of people etc. — all of them to a large extent are determined by the bioenergetic characteristics of the participants of those situations: the distinctive features of the energies that each organism emanates and the ways other organisms react to these emanations.
People differ from the bioenergetic standpoint on the series of criteria, the most significant of which are the following: a) excess or shortage of bioenergy in the organism, b) bioenergetic coarseness or subtlety, c) purity of the bio-energy or its contamination due to various diseases, incorrect lifestyle or unfa-vorable external influences, d) the level of development of the bioenergetic centers of the organism (chakras) and domination of specific centers at a given moment of time.
Excess of bioenergy is not necessarily an indication of good health of the particular person, like some people think. For example, intensive emanation of pathogenic energies is a typical phenomenon that occurs during acute stages of many diseases. Harmful energies can get emanated when a person experi-ences aggressive emotions, as well as emotions of despondency or those of inner weeping. The only way to distinguish bioenergies by the qualitative crite-ria is their assessment by extrasensory individuals who developed an ability to perceive a wide range of such emanations. For example, some of them can valuate the state of another person (up to making a precise diagnosis of dis-eases, assessment of the condition of chakras and meridians etc.) just by his clothes or by any object that this person used and which has traces of his bio-energy.
Bioenergetic shortage is mostly observed in patients who have been weakened by their disease, as well as in people with consumeristic attitude to-wards others, be it a specific person or the society as a whole. Such incorrect ethic orientation forces those who possess them to constantly feel unhappy. Communicating with them is often onerous for other people, since the person who always wants something from someone demonstrate a so called bioener-getic vampirism, which can be exercised even at a large distance. The only way one can help those ever-miserable “vampires” is by reorienting them from the consumeristic attitude towards everybody and everything — to an active and creative position in life, in other words by changing their vicious orientation towards demanding love for themselves into desire to give their love to other people and to the world as whole.
It is emotions that represent the most important mechanism of setting bioenergies in motion. This is why ethic self-correction and mastering the abil-ity to control one’s emotions by using psychic self-regulation methods allow one to learn to never harm other people with one’s disharmonious bioenergetic emissions or with stripping them of their energy.
When talking about bioenergetic interactions between people we cannot disregard the sphere of sexual relationships. An intensive energy exchange be-tween partners takes place during a sexual intercourse. This implies the ex-change of both pure, healing and coarse, pathogenic, harmful energies. The readers can make their own conclusions from this.
Bioenergetic factors are the causes of many sexual disharmonies: such as impotency and quick ejaculation in men and frigidity and anorgasmia in women. Among the specific causes can be undeveloped or contaminated chak-ras (primarily svadhisthana), vampirism from the side of a partner as a conse-quence of his or her perverted concept of love, i.e. “love” for him- or herself, desire to receive for him- or herself as opposed to willingness to give his or her love to the partner. Incompatibility of partners by the level of refinement of their bioenergies can also play a significant role here. This can be the cause of various derangements in the energy system of the partner, whose energetics is more refined (more perfect). Apart from health disorders contacts with partner who possesses more coarse bioenergy can lead to sexual indifference up to the development of an aversion to the given partner or even to sex in general.
Regarding incompatibility of svadhisthanic energies I should mention that if a woman’s bioenergy is coarser than her partners’, this may be the cause of his quick ejaculation due to irritating influence of such energy on the man’s svadhisthana. This is to say that one should look for the reasons of this type of sexual disharmony not only in men (as it is popular), but also in women. The reasons of sexual disharmonies that have been discussed can be eliminated with the help of the methods of raja yoga (See the book of V.Antonov Spiritual Practices. Training Aid).
All examples that were given above were supposed to demonstrate the variety and complexity of the so to say “everyday” issues of bioenergetic in-teractions between people as well as the importance of taking them into ac-count. In most cases such contacts occur without control from the side of their participants, and they are not aware of the causes of their consequences.
But there exist spheres in which people apply their knowledge in bioener-getics consciously and in a controlled way. One of them is healing.
Healing consists of bioenergetic diagnostics and bioenergetic therapy. Let us discuss their major forms.
The simplest method of bioenergetic diagnostics, which extrasensory in-dividuals usually start studying first, is diagnostics using the palm of hand. This method is based on the fact that the body of every living being, including human being, is surrounded with energy field called a cocoon. This energy field is created by vital activity of all body cells, the configuration of the boundaries of the cocoon and the density of the energy inside it reflect the health state of the organism.
The boundary of a human body’s cocoon is usually located at about 50 centimeters from the body. But if a patient is weakened, the boundary of the cocoon may be closer to the patient’s body and be difficult to identify. And on the contrary — boundaries of the cocoons of people with high bioenergetic ac-tivity may be located at 2 meters or farther from their bodies.
Almost everyone can learn how to feel the boundary of the cocoon with the hand. One should first practice feeling one’s palm in a more dense envi-ronment, i.e. as if it is in the air that turned into a thick transparent liquid that impedes its movement.
Then one starts move one’s palm towards the partner’s body from a dis-tance, making smooth palpating movements. At some moment the hand bumps into an invisible barrier — a boundary of a more dense space. This is the co-coon. Moving the hand within the cocoon causes in the palm pricking sensa-tion and a feeling of something like an energy “wind” that is blowing through it.
Upon learning how to locate the boundary of the cocoon we may proceed to the next stage of study. Now we will palpate the boundary around the entire body of our partner. If the partner is healthy, the boundary will be at the same distance from the body. But if the partner is sick, then saliencies or depres-sions will be observed against the affected areas. The former correspond with zones with pathologically increased bioenergetic activity, while the latter indi-cate zones, which bioenergetic activity is decreased.
This method allows identifying also the latent (hidden) stages of diseases, as well as the nidi of the sluggish diseases that the person may not even be aware of.
Having trained ourselves like this we may learn to identify so small prob-lem areas as dental caries or a common pustule covered by clothes.
This method just like all the others can also be applied when examining animals and even plants.
In some cases (when the cocoon is too large, for example) it may be more convenient to set perform the diagnostics not by studying the boundary of the cocoon but changes in the density and other characteristics of the energy field inside the cocoon. The palm of the healer should be moving parallel to the pa-tient’s body. Many extrasensory healers use the latter variant only. But if the patient’s chakras are developed, their fields will create interference, which will render this method inapplicable to them.
By the way, it is very difficult or even impossible to make any kind of di-agnostics through synthetic or sometimes wool clothes.
Another bioenergetic diagnostics technique relates to so called clairvoy-ance, i.e. seeing the energies that cannot be perceived with regular vision, in this case. Some people have an inborn clairvoyance abilities (i.e. from their previous incarnation), but virtually anyone can develop them as a result of sys-tematic raja yoga practice.
In order to make it easier to master this technique one may place the part of the body being under examination in the energy field of one’s hands (be-tween one’s palms). Let us keep in mind that this kind of clairvoyance is per-formed not with the eyes, but with the consciousness, which for best results one should concentrate in one’s own cocoon behind the anahata chakra or in the chitrini meridian.
The scientific understanding of this phenomenon is possible only through acceptance of the following three postulates:
The first of them is the fact of a multidimensional nature of the whole uni-verse, and also of a particular living organism.
The second — that the human consciousness is capable to penetrate — thanks to special methods of training — into the depths of the multidimen-sional universe and cognize directly various spatial dimensions.
The third postulate defines that the consciousness if of the energy nature; an individual consciousness is a bearer of self-perception and self-awareness; it evolves changing both qualitatively and quantitatively (i.e. by its “mass”).
The primitive materialistic thinking that was dominating in our country re-sulted in an actual identification in the layman and pseudoscientific lexicons of two completely different concepts: mind and consciousness; this impeded the development of psychology and the sciences related to it.
In the given chapter I will not describe the methods of development of consciousness and clairvoyance. Let me just note, that this development pro-ceeds through refinement of the emotional sphere, work with the chakras and main meridians.
Those extrasensory healers who mastered clairvoyance gain an ability to observe dark (gray or black) energies inside the affected parts of the patients’ bodies, driving out which leads to disappearance of the symptoms of the dis-eases — immediately or after some time.
Apart from the techniques that were described above there are other — more complicated — methods of bioenergetic diagnostics. Among them is, for example, recreation of the patient’s image (the phantom), while the patient can be far away from the healer, and subsequent using this phantom for making the diagnosis. One may transfer the concentration of consciousness close to the patient (regardless of the distance to him) and perform healing procedures there. Healing without making a diagnosis first is also possible, which we will talk about below.
Let us proceed to discussing methods of bioenergetic therapy.
The first and most commonly used one is using the healer’s own bio-energy, which he emits through the palms of his hands (either with imposing the hands accompanied by massage or at some distance from the patient’s body). The distinctive feature of this method is that it uses considerable amounts of energy that has been accumulated in the organism of the healer. The drawback of this method consists in that by giving his energy to the pa-tient the healer’s organism becomes weak and thus vulnerable to damaging factors. In order to alleviate this negative effect the healer should eat and sometimes sleep well right after the difficult healing sessions.
The other therapeutic technique is less fraught with these drawbacks; it also creates more favorable prospects of further progress of the healer. This method implies using not the energy accumulated in the healer’s organism, but external one. The external energy can be channeled through the healer’s chak-ras, which in this case play a role of something like focusing lenses. The stream of healing energy gets channeled through the healer’s body from the behind his back forward. The healer controls the session using clairvoyance. The general task of the healer in this type of therapy is to cleanse the patient’s organism of dark energies in all space dimensions, which he has the access to. Through-the-chakras influence may be accompanied by manipulations by hands and sending energy through them as well. I should remind that wearing synthetic clothes makes it either impossible or very difficult.
The last method contributes to development of the energy systems of the healer, as well as teaches him to interact with various manifestations of the multidimensional space. The healers that practice this method usually arrive at expediency of preliminary attunement with help of proper kinds of meditation. As a result of this during the healing sessions they may achieve sensation that their organisms are simply being used by the Power of the Universal Love; at such moments the healers feel themselves rather witnesses of a sacrament that takes place.
As the healer acquires experience he finds out that not all patients can be healed just by “washing” their bodies with flows of energy. It makes him look for more complicated methods of healing, for example, using images for per-forming various “surgeries” in the depths of the multidimensional organism of man. There — in those space dimensions — images that he creates by means of using his personal power turn out to be possessing real effectiveness, which is confirmed by facts of instantaneous changes of the patient’s condi-tion after being influenced in such a way.
Another example of an effective application of energy images in healing is use of special medical yantras (graphic pictures), which produce three-dimensional healing energy structures.
One of the ways of treating patients that suffer from serious illnesses is combining efforts of two or more healers. One of them may supervise the pro-cess using clairvoyance, while others play roles of “surgeons”.
Healers who acquired mastery are capable of conducting energy-anesthesia during complex physical (and not with imaginary instruments) sur-geries. And some Philippine surgeons perform painless surgeries inserting their physical hands into bodies of their patients, without using any cutting in-struments .
It is also important to understand that infectious diseases (unlike those that are caused by energetic or mechanical damages) may not necessarily get cured completely as a result of healer’s influence. Since bacteria, viruses, fungi and other parasites do not die because of this. But in these cases bioenergetic therapy allows: a) cleanse the organism of the patient of the energetic conse-quences of the inflammation, b) temporarily eliminate or alleviate the symp-toms of the disease, c) increase resistance of the organism. The rational way of treating inflectional diseases will be combination of bioenergetic and drug therapies.
A beginning healer must also know that it would be dangerous for him to take up healing certain diseases, such as flu or cancer.
Here we will also list rules of healing that allow avoiding causing uninten-tional harm to the patients:
First — a healer must not use alcoholic beverages: the healer’s bioenergy acquires pathogenic qualities as a result of his taking alcohol (it can be ob-served as a grayish coloring of the energy flows that he emanates).
Second — a healer who is sick himself must not attempt to heal other people, since in this case he will share the energetic information of his disease with the patient.
Third — a healer must not influence those patients whose energy is sig-nificantly more subtle compared to his own so that he does not damage their energy system.
Fourth — a healer who uses meat or fish for food should not influence the people who adhere to the killing-free diet, since their energy is incomparably purer and subtler.
Fifth — during the sessions a healer must not allow himself any coarse negative emotions or bustling, as well as to get distracted in his thoughts from the only admissible subject: compassion to the patient and trying to find pos-sibilities to help him. Any other thoughts or emotions distort and contaminate the energy flows that he emanates.
Deviation from the rules listed can lead to causing harm to the patient’s health, even if the main symptom is eliminated as a result.
We should also mention that arrogance and desire of fame and personal enrichment do not embellish the image of a healer. Although there is no doubt that he may accept — if he wants to — a material remuneration for his hard work. And this kind of work is connected not only with significant energy losses but also with bioenergetic contamination from the patients, which often leads to development of diseases in the healer’s own organism.
If a healer who strives for perfection in his art endures ethic tests that he encounters on this path, in particular, if he always unsatisfied with his level of development, then healing becomes a wonderful means of spiritual self-perfection for him. By helping others he develops unselfish self-sacrificial love, increases his knowledge of the multidimensional world, including knowledge of man’s nature and of methods of helping people in various ways, as well as increases his personal power through active service.
Use of the methods of raja yoga and later of buddhi yoga for more effi-cient healing, mastering the ethical steps of karma yoga and bhakti yoga, ac-cumulating knowledge (jnani yoga) allow him to approach the highest methods of healing, such as those that Jesus Christ was demonstrating. Such a Healer would not even need to know the diagnosis, send energy flows or create im-ages of surgical instruments… He would only need to know with absolute cer-tainty that the patient deserves to be healed and touch him with his Perfect Di-vine Consciousness.
But to be able to heal like this one should go through stages of Samadhi, crystallization, and Nirvana. We will discuss them in details in the next chap-ters; here I will only shortly clarify the meanings of these terms. The word Samadhi denotes emotional state of bliss of the highest order, which a person usually experiences when he enters in meditations the highest spatial dimen-sions for the first time. Crystallization is a process of increasing a quantity of individual consciousness. Nirvana — is the state of Mergence of an individual consciousness with the Consciousness abiding in the highest spatial dimen-sions; it is accompanied by the ability to direct the attention into the multidi-mensional world from within its primordial depth.
One should understand that crystallization can be either true or false. The true crystallization is that which is performed in the highest spatial dimen-sions; the false one — in more dense layers of the universe. The latter may en-able one to work “nice” wonders and to suppress other people’s will. But the state of the one who possesses it cannot be called close to the Perfection.
The last question to dwell on in this chapter may sound paradoxically to someone: should one heal at all? And if one should then in what cases?
We discussed already that the healing practice is beneficial for the healer. But is it beneficial for the one being healed?
You see, if to understand, any disease is a result of a person falling out of ecological harmony, in most cases it is a consequence of his violations of cer-tain ethic principles, of which the most fundamental is Love for all people, all living beings, all multidimensional macrosystem, including the highest forms of its consciousness, the Creator.
In other words, a disease, as a rule, is an indication for man that he has to improve something in himself.
And thoughtless (from the healer’s side) healing often deprives the sick person of urgent need to think and to change himself.
So, by healing the body we may do harm to the soul. Therefore, it would be more appropriate to help a person to understand the cause of his disease and to direct his efforts towards self-healing and only after that to help him heal his body, if necessary.
Of course, in this multi-aspect and complex issue there cannot be any “prescription” fit for all cases. And the truth, as a rule, lies in the middle be-tween two extremes. For example, purely corporal healings (i.e. those that go without any explanations and recommendations) are sometimes regarded by the patients and the witnesses as an impulse that awakens them from a dull sleep of ignorance, which stimulates their efforts on searching spiritual truths and acquiring healing skills — in order to develop through it their potential of Love.
