We are now regularly receiving emails requesting information on a whole range of 'new' healing systems most of which claim to be better and stronger than all the others. A previous member of our group who has now moved away but still writes regularly recently sent us a detailed question by email for us to put to Hai. We've printed below, an abbreviated version, of the original question.
Q: Why do we have so many different types of healing energies on the planet such as Reconnective Healing, Angel Healing, Reiki? Are some types of healing more powerful than others? I was looking at a website that stated that most healing arts work with the Divine Energy but do not access Divine Consciousness. It said that it is necessary to work with Divine Consciousness because it transforms the roots of the consciousness, acts as an independent intelligence, and knows exactly where the roots of your issues are held going directly there to transform them.
Hai: Healing is healing. Healing is healing. Sometimes people have a different experience with a different system of healing, but this is not to do with the particular system of healing, this is to do with the permutations of the particular time, of their experience of that particular time, but is not particular to a particular system of healing.
Q: So is to do with the way the person responds to it?
Hai: Yes.
Q: The energy system referred to in the question talked about channelling consciousness energy. I thought Reiki was consciousness energy.
Hai: You cannot channel consciousness energy because (laughs) all is consciousness energy.
Q: Some systems talk about the energy coming from a different source.
Hai: There is only one source of healing energy which you are all conduits of.
Q: But is it easier for some more than others to channel energy?
Hai: Yes, some more than others because they free flow, they are freer channels sometimes. They have faith and trust and the energy therefore flows more easily, more readily.
Hai then gave us an example to demonstrate his point.
Hai: If you see a mountain stream, a mountain stream without rocks in its way it flows more freely, more smoothly, yes? But, if big rocks within its course dam it, then this holds back the flow of water, does it not? And so it is. So we may symbolise negative thinking, negative thoughts, and doubts, as big rocks, which may block the channel, the flow of the healing energy.
Q: So do we just let the energy flow and let our good intent go to the person we are channelling healing to?
Hai: Yes.
Someone else asked:
Q: Isn't it also about living our lives without negative thoughts as well?
Hai: Yes. Any negativity can limit the flow, not only of healing energy to others but also of healing energy within; the out flowing of Divine Consciousness within.
Q: It's not easy to never have negative thoughts though, Hai.
Hai: No, it is a relative thing. You inevitably will have negative thoughts at some point in your life because that is what life is about. It is hard to be positive all the time. That is natural. Indeed, if you were positive all the time it would probably be a forced positivity which in itself is a negative thought, if you follow me. So it's natural for the human mind to be up and down, but we talk here of overall balance, this is what is important, of stability. And you can move forward to positive from negative.
Hai then told us one of his stories to demonstrate his point again:
Hai: It is like a man who eats grapes. He lifts up the grape to his mouth, but it is sour, is bad and it pains him to taste it. He takes up the next grape. If he holds on to the taste of the first grape he will not taste the sweetness of the next grape for he will have hung on to the taste of the sour, bad grape. But if he is able to let go of the bad taste of the first grape he will taste the sweetness of the new grape to its fullness. You follow?
Q: Yes. So we shouldn't dwell on the past?
Hai: Yes, even your own past actions, which you regret. Do not dwell on them also.
Hai was obviously listening to someone in the background. We guessed it was Davia not being able to resist putting in his two pennyworth. Hai smiled and continued:
Hai: Davia tells me he has a great remedy to forget blocking thoughts (smiles): Ss he brings his paddle to your head, in the moment before the paddles hits your head you have forgotten all past thoughts. But if that should not work, when the paddle hits your head you truly forget all past thoughts. (Laughs loudly and continues). He (Davia) says this is a "double whammy" because it has a back up remedy. (Laughs again)
Q: Is this one of Davia's enterprises?
Hai: No. He says it is one of his meditative practices.
Q: Do you know anything about Vortex Healing, Hai?
Hai: Yes,(smiles) it is healing from the vortex, which you are all in my friends;(laughs)the vortex of healing. Why is it my friends, upon your plane of earth, why is it the many who seek to generate names? It is amazing to us the number of creations that are spawned on your earth plane; creations of the mind, yes. While there is no particular harm in such creations of the mind yet they should not be held on to as uniquely different, as uniquely separate from other things. For there is healing energy all around you my friends, healing energy within you and you all, in your various ways, may tap into that healing and channel it. Therefore you should not worry too much about these different forms, these different schools, these different sects, these different messages. For you are all within the sea as the fish are within the sea, yes. You are all a part of the Universal Energy. It is like a fish in the sea with all these different names that you put to me at times. It is like a fish in the sea should be able to fill a cup of sea water and call it something different and another fish finds another cup which he fills with the sea water and calls it something different and so on and so on. At the end of the day what do we have? Seawater. So it is with all these different schools and traditions and leanings.
Q: I suspect that some may be drawn to one system of healing more than another and if they are, surely that system will be the best for them.
Hai: Yes and that as I say is all right. That is not something to worry about. But it is something to worry about when people advance their system beyond all others or create doubt and fear in others and say: "If you do not follow my tradition, my friend, you are lost. If you do not embrace the power of my tradition you are defeating yourself for you are in a lesser school or you are with a lesser power that will not be as effective in your dealings with people you are trying to help." All of this creates fear, apprehension, doubt and confusion and where there is fear, doubt, and confusion being created, this is a manifestation of a problem, yes, a negative influence.
Q: That runs counter to the way a lot of marketing is done in this day and age. Do you think the way business is done and therapies are marketed might be fairer and truer in the future?
Hai: Davia says it is like my friend you went down to your market where things are sold, like your fruit and vegetables. And he says one of the sellers hold out to you a beautiful pear and indeed this beautiful pear looks so lovely, so green, so healthy as the person holds it out to you. And he encourages you to buy his pear for he says you will encounter no better, no better in all the market, no better in the whole town than this pear which he offers you. Davia says you should get him to turn the pear around in all its directions so you can see the maggot eating it from the core on the other side of the skin which he presents to you. Therefore, (laughs) if this answers your question my friend you must be careful indeed of things which are presented to us and how they are presented to us. And be especially careful of those who claim to have the best of anything. For those who have the best of anything it may be suspected that they also have the best of egos (laughs). Yes, it is true is it not?
Q: What about attunements? There are various different kinds.
Hai: You are already attuned my friend. The attunements which you have in your reiki and other practices are what we could call facilitations. You are not dependant upon them, but they help you. It is like my friend, if you were to jump a three foot chasm, not a big chasm I admit, (laughs) but say you needed a nudge, the person who attunes you just nudges you so you take the jump. But you can attune yourself when it comes down to it.
Q: And do you do that by intention?
Hai: Intent is all, yes. Reaching out is all. This one (Paul) attuned himself with Eileen's help with us of spirit; no one else did, he did by reaching out. We reached out from our side and we met in the middle. (smiles) He may regret the meeting in the middle now, but we met in the middle, yes, and so we are bonded together for all time (laughs loudly), but we rely upon his continued cooperation, for all of you are self-determined, all of you choose your own fate, yes.
