    About seven years ago I was taking a course in psychic awareness
    and each week we covered a different topic.  During the week we
    would practice techniques associated with the topic.  We had done
    a session on healing and during the week I decided to try it out
    as I was also experiencing a need for healing at that time.
    
    It was a rather hectic period and I was caught up in the pace. 
    I somehow had pulled a muscle in my back, and I was trying to ignore
    the pain.  That weekend, I went to the beach.  It was a beautiful
    sunny, but cool October day.  I decided to lie on the beach for
    a while and just soak in the sun.  Lying face down I decided to
    practice a techinque we used in class.  I imagined the energy from
    the sun moving through my body and massaging the muscles in my back.
    It felt great.  Then suddenly I felt something snap in my back.
    My daughter came running up to me and called my name, and I was
    startled.  Then I realized I had actually been in a deeper state
    than I'd realized.  Pain was completely gone.  More importantly,
    I had slowed myself down, which was what I needed to do in the first
    place.

.0  Healing is more mind-over-body. I think we all possess this ability.
Prayerful meditation is one way. Practioners are coming to realize that
healing is actually done in one's self. The physician can do only so
much. The mind must WANT to heal the body. The book _Joy's Way_ by W.
Brugh Joy, M.D. is good reading on transformation and self-healing.

511.4Thank you again, Paul, for the tip.PUZZLE::GUEST_TMPHOME, in spite of my ego!Fri Oct 02 1987 01:2211
         The Omni magazine referred to in 502 has a pretty impressive
    article on "MIND CONTROL: How to get it, how to use it, how to
    keep it."  It shows, with what for me is convincing argument, that
    the mind is very responsible for the body and, further and more
    important to me, that emotions control the body and its performance.
    It also covers more territory than this...I strongly suggest the
    reading of the material.  (How much "proof" is needed before belief
    sets in?)

    Thank you, Frederick and all...I am going to do some research 
    and do some Omni reading also.  This subject could go on and 
    on...

    psychosomatic illnessess are recognized as real by the mainstream
    medical community.  If your mind can make you sick,.. then your
    mind can certainly make you well, right?

         There are at least a few references, indirectly if not
    directly, within the notes of some of these techniques (especially
    in regards to sleep.)  You could also take a look in the HOLISTICS
    notes conference for some other techniques/help.
         I personally had a most profound experience one year ago where
    I suddenly got gravely ill and was hospitalized 4 hrs. later (for about
    6 hours.) During my stay in the hospital I was *certain* I was dying
    (due to increasingly stronger pain, a body temperature that dropped
    to 95 degrees and followed by my vomiting on the emergency room
    floor--from the intensity of the pain.)
    I was royally angry about that (I have experienced very good health
    and just that morning I had run my usual 3-4 miles,) angry because
    of many unresolved issues and angry because there was a great deal
    more I wanted/needed to do.  I had a crystal with me and I used
    it with all my might and while I lay in incredible agony I called
    on my Higher Self and Lazaris (he has allowed for this--I will not
    go into more on this aspect, if you please.)  According to Lazaris
    the Higher Self can, in virtually any case, "interfere" with the
    trauma at hand (for example, can shut the blood flow in an amputation,)
    but will NOT usually do so because you "chose the experience." 
    When will it do so?  When you decide and determine to resolve whatever
    the emotional issue was that "caused" the trauma, it may then intrude
    in it.  If this is the case, however, you MUST resolve the issue or
    a stronger message is bound to develop.  So, anyway, I made such
    a commitment and a promise to my Higher Self.  Forty-five minutes
    after a dose of demerol and thorazine (which I didn't feel,) I passed
    out...for about one to two hours.  When I awoke, I was virtually
    normal.  The doctors never determined what was wrong with me and
    there are no residuals from my experience (other than the very strong
    determination I have to understand my reality and create it so that
    it provides me with lots of joy.)
        Similarly, but much less drastically, I have willed a wart of six
    months away in just two weeks...(this is very difficult to explain
    in a way that makes sense so I won't.)
        There are many individuals attending the Lazaris workshops who
    have cured themselves of a large battery of medically diagnosed
    maladies ranging from tumors, cancers, blood pressure difficulties,
    broken bones, spasms, liver diseases, and on and on.  (Remember as
    you read this that I said they cured THEMSELVES.)  This, by the
    way, has occurred DURING the workshops using Lazaris' guidance.
        The mental process used varies from individual to individual but
    it revolves around mental/meditative techniques dealing not only with
    the particular malady but also with the mental or, especially, the
    emotional issues at the root of these conditions (contrary to what
    most of Western medicine wants to believe.)  
         Please also understand that while my main focus for information
    presently stems from Lazaris that I honestly believe that there
    are many other equally equitable sources.  I am sure that there
    will be other "testimonials" following this one and sources for
    the "miracles" (however large or small) will accompany them.  It
    is up to you to decide which method you might wish to try...let
    it suffice to say that one should never give up (unless they resign
    themselves to that particular experience.)  Also, sometimes the
    degree of illness/malady/debilitation, etc. may be too much for
    the person to believe can be corrected (in this belief of mine this
    means that it is the CORE belief which counts, not simple words
    which may contradict the belief.)
      
          Good topic, I think!
