Learning To Channel The Energy

LEARNING TO CHANNEL THE ENERGY
All around you, and throughout the entire universe, circulates the life energy. It exists not only as an energy field around every living thing, but also circulates through the earth, through the atmosphere around us, and in nature. The flow of this energy connects everything that exists, and you, as a living being, are taking in this life energy at every moment. You are always drawing this life energy into your own energy field, and it is this life energy that supports your life, as well as the life of all you seek to heal. In order to conduct a greater measure of this energy into your patient, for the purposes of performing healing work upon them, you must first learn to bring a greater measure of the energy into your own energy field.
The way you will do this is referred to as Calling in the Energy. After receiving your first attunement you will practice this ability. You will, using your power of visualization, request that this energy begin to flow into you, in greater and greater measure—you will “see,” in your mind’s eye, this energy flowing into you from all around. You will also “see” this energy, as it flows into you, move through your body towards your shoulders, down your arms, and collect in your hands, so that you may transfer this energy into your patient. The first attunement procedure gives you the inner ability to bring in and conduct the energy in this way, and this visualization, this “seeing,” in your mind, will ask and allow the energy to flow in this manner when it is time for you to begin a healing treatment. This is a very useful and important ability to learn. The following exercise will help you in becoming practiced and comfortable in calling in the energy:
Each day, for 3 times or more (at various times during the day), summon the energy. Close your eyes and place your hands in front of you, and effortlessly see, in your mind’s eye, the energy coming into your body from the earth, from above and from all around you. Feel it filling your body and then moving through your shoulders, down your arms and moving into your hands. As you hold your hands in front of you, really see and feel the energy coming into you from the universe, through your body, down your arms, and then filling up your hands like water filling a glove. Allow the energy to collect in your hands—you may feel a tingling or a sensation of heat as it does so. Each time you practice this should only take a minute or two.
After you have become confident in your ability to call in the energy, you can proceed to giving simple healing treatments. During these treatments you will conduct the energy through your hands and into the chakras of your patient. The chakras are the primary energy centers

or energy junctions within the energy field, and it is these centers that you will usually be treating in this first-level course. They are the primary points at which energy enters the body, as well as the points within the energy field where important life-supporting energetic operations take place. You will be placing your hands palms-down in these locations, so that you may channel the healing energy through your hands and into the person you are treating. Using the correct hand positions is an important part of doing so effectively. The correct sequence of hand positions is given later in this level-one section. This energy channeling, through the hands, is the essence of the laying-on-of-hands method (also called hands-on-healing) where the hands of the healer are placed on the body to conduct the energy. You can see how useful the hands are in transferring this energy—they can be moved anywhere on your patient’s body so that the energy can be transferred to any needed location. As you will learn, the hands are also very sensitive to the energy flows, informing the healer of what areas need further treatment.
As you practice this process of calling in the energy and channeling it into your patient, it is best to follow these important guidelines:
• Remove all rings, watches and jewelry from your hands before beginning a treatment. It is also a very good idea, as a courtesy, to wash your hands.

• Do not let doubt interfere. Expect and believe that the energy is flowing. Do not worry—the energy does exist and will flow, if only you allow it.

• Do not press too hard with the hands. You might think that it is better to press firmly when placing the hands, but this is not the case. Use ZERO PRESSURE with the hands to maximize the energy flow.

• BE OPEN to the energy flow. Energy channeling is not a practice of the intellect; it is a practice of RELEASE TO THE ENERGY. Image the energy flowing through you and out of your hands, and you will feel a sense of openness to the energy. You will find, if you simply release yourself to its flow, that it comes easily. Do not try to force the energy, but just open yourself and “see,” in your mind’s eye, the energy flowing through you. Effortless intention alone is sufficient to call in and conduct the energy.
It is important, while you are conducting the healing energy, not to be self-conscious or wonder if you are “doing it correctly.” Don’t worry—it will “do itself.” The energy is intelligent, it is conscious energy, and has the ability to come into you, to conduct through your hands, and work on your patient in the manner that is needed—all without you “making” it do so. The energy, as a manifestation of consciousness, already knows how to move and where to go. Focus instead on opening yourself to feeling and sensing the energy flow in your patient, being aware of the energy as it moves through you and into the body of your patient.
Do not be too concerned with whatever sensations you may feel, or not feel, during energy channeling. For different healers, and with different patients, there will be times when the energy is sensed and also times where it is not sensed, or just barely sensed. The degree to which you “sense” the energy conduction into your patient during energy channeling is not necessarily related to the amount or kind of energy you are conducting or the effectiveness of the treatment you provide. You will find, when you gain a good deal of experience in energy transfer, that you will become “transparent,” in a sense. You may sense the flow of energy through you, but you will also sense a freedom from your body and mind, a simple awareness of acting as a channel for the energy, as though you were witnessing your own body and the energy transfer. Begin to learn to move away from worrying about yourself, and instead begin to become aware of the energy, and the energy field of your patient. In healing, you must “forget yourself” and instead seek to become one with your patient, as you work.

(Using the Passing of Hands)
In addition to learning to call in the energy and channel it into your patient, you can begin to learn another important skill the healer needs: the ability to sense the energy field of the patient. This skill is important, for the healer must have the ability to sense where and how the energy field has acquired defects, for the purpose of working to correct them and bring renewed energetic health. The ability to become aware of the condition of the energy field of the patient, including the condition of the chakras, is a big advantage to the healer as he or she works during the course of the healing treatment. Acquiring the ability to sense problems in the energy field of the person you are treating will enable you to pay special attention to these areas—to conduct a greater measure of the healing energy to these locations and begin to work to correct whatever problem exists there.
A very good way to begin to sense the energy field around the body of your patient is through the use of your hands. This energy, which you are learning to channel using your hands, can also be sensed with the hands. In sensing the human energy field, through the use of the hands, the hands are slowly passed palm-down along the body surface of the patient, approximately four to five inches above skin level. Whatever energetic defects may exist in the energy field around the body of the patient register as subtle sensations in the palms of the healer’s hands. Often, these sensations will be a subtle feeling of a “bump” or “dip,” or a subtle sense of heat or coldness. You may receive other subtle sensations, as well. It is these sensations in the palms, along with the intuitive impressions which are received while performing this technique, that inform the healer of the condition of the energy field in whatever region of the subject’s body is being examined.
You will sense the condition of the energy field of your patient in this way at the beginning of healing treatments, before beginning to channel the energy. This technique is included in the treatment procedure given later in this section. Sensing the energy with the hands takes a little time to learn, as the sensations are often subtle, but it is an excellent (and very grounded) way to begin to sense the human energy field. The following exercise will assist you in beginning to feel the sensation that the energy field produces in the hands of the healer:
Place your hands out in front of you, somewhat less than a foot apart, with palms flat and facing each other, fingers together. Call in the energy, as you learned to do in the exercise above (to sensitize your hands). Now turn one hand, and bend the wrist so that the palm of that hand points towards you, and the fingertips of that hand point towards the open palm of the other hand, and “sweep” these fingers across the open palm slowly, with finger-tips about 3 or 4 inches away from the opposite palm. Try sweeping one finger, or a few. What sensation do you feel in your other hand as you do this? Try sweeping the fingertips across the opposite palm in different positions. The sensation will be subtle. You are sensing the energy field emanating from your fingertips as it sweeps across your other hand. Repeat this exercise a few times a day to become accustomed to sensing the aura energy. It may take a little practice.
After you have begun to sense the energy field emanating from your fingertips, through practicing this exercise, it is time to try sensing the energy field of another person using a technique referred to as the Passing of Hands:
Have your patient lie flat on the treatment table, arms at sides. Now, call in the energy as you have learned to do (to sensitize your hands), and begin to scan the body of your subject, by using the palm of one hand at a time. Use your right hand (if you are right-handed or left-handed)—the right hand is “dominant” in most people. Hold your hand level, with fingers spread slightly, as if resting). Begin at the top of the head, and as you scan, move your open palm slowly, about 4 or 5 inches above the skin surface of your patient. Move downwards, scanning the entire body, to the patient’s feet. Pay particular attention to each chakra location, and also the abdominal area. Do not move your hands too quickly—2 to 3 inches per second is the ideal speed. “Forget yourself” while you do this, and instead open yourself to any sensation that may form in your hand as you do so. Just be open to any sensation

which comes. What do you feel? Are there certain areas of the body over which you feel something—a subtle sensation in your hands? Examine the entire front of the body in this way, from head to toe. Do you feel anything around the area of the chakras? Are there other areas of the body over which you sense something, and if so, what impressions are you getting as you do so? It is easiest to work with one hand, at the beginning, but after you have begun to sense the energy field try the other hand, as well. Use only one hand at a time, while learning.
Try this “feeling” exercise without expectations. To sense the energy effectively you must have faith and believe in the energy, and release your expectations. You will then be able to feel the energy as it is. Move away from concentrating on just your hand, or worrying if you are performing this method correctly, and instead simply relax and allow sensations and impressions form in your entire being as you scan the energy field of your patient. You already have the ability to gain these impressions and this information. All you need to do is suspend your thinking process and allow them to come.
It is wise to practice this technique by incorporating it into your treatments, just prior to conducting the energy, to “get a feel” for the condition of your patient’s energy field. This technique is referred to as the passing of hands, and as you “scan” your patient’s energy field, you may also receive information—impressions in your mind—giving you further details about the condition of areas in which you have detected sensations in your palms.

Because the chakra system is the central processing center for every aspect of our being, blockage or other energetic dysfunction in the chakras usually gives rise to disorders in the body, mind or spirit. A defect in the energy flow through any given chakra will result in a defect in the energy provided to certain portions of the physical body, as well as an impairment in the entire energy field’s ability to process energy—affecting all levels of the being. This is because the energy field is a holistic entity; every part of it affects every other part.
The chakras do not actually exist as “objects” in the physical body (they are actually energy patterns) but there are certain specific locations on the body, where you will place your hands, that correspond to the chakras, five along the spine, and two on the head. Each chakra also has a certain true color of the visible light spectrum associated with it—the intrinsic color of the chakra. Because the chakras are spiritual entities, it is impossible to convey a complete explanation of the nature of each chakra in words alone, but the table below will provide an introduction to the nature of each.
Number Name/Location Character True Color
7 Crown of Head Totality of Beingness. Spiritual Perfection. Violet
6 Forehead (3rd Eye) Visualization. Psychic Sight. Indigo
5 Pit of Throat Communication. Creative Expression. Blue
4 Heart Universal Love. Compassion. Empathy. Green
3 Solar Plexus Creation of Self. Perception and Projection of Self. Yellow
2 Sacral (Pubic) Desire, Including Sexual Energy. Orange
1 Base of Spine Physical Vitality. Survival. Red

Each of the seven chakras has both a front (usually dominant) component, and a rear (usually less dominant) component, which are intimately related. The seventh and first chakras, though, are usually represented and thought of as having only the one dominant component, as it is far, far more significant than the weaker component in these two chakras. The seventh chakra extends vertically upwards above the head. The first chakra extends forwards from the base of the spine, and downwards, at roughly a 45 degree angle, although its exact position will vary from person to person. The other five chakras, spaced between the first and seventh, have at their appropriate locations a front component extending out the front of the body and a rear component extending out the rear of the body.
During energy channeling, the energy field healer receives the energy through his or her own chakra system, from all around, and from the Earth, too, which also acts as a conductor. The energy circulates in the entire universe, and conducts through the Earth, and also through the atmosphere, and into the healer’s body. When you “call in” the energy, you are receiving a greater quantity of it, so that you may pass it on, through your hands, into your patient. You receive the extra energy at first primarily through your first and seventh chakras, but later, with practice, through all your chakras equally.
Aside from the entry of energy into the body through the seven major chakras, there is also an upward flow of energy in the body, from the lower to higher energy centers. The lower chakras are simpler-functioning, but as one ascends upwards there is a greater degree of sophisticated and more spiritual functioning, intimately related to the life experience and state of being of the individual. The seven chakras, with the correspondences that exist between them and different aspects of our being and the interrelationships between them, are of great importance to the energy field healer. It is important to know, however, that an “intellectual” understanding of the chakra system is not a useful adjunct to healing work. The true energy field healer will learn to expand his or her consciousness and experience each of the chakras as a realm of being. As you begin to sense the chakras, as you practice the passing of hands and energy channeling, you may wish to begin to allow some sense of the unique nature of each chakra form in your awareness. You may also begin to gain some insight into the condition of each chakra in your patients, as well. In later Chios healing levels, you will learn more advanced methods for expanding your awareness in order to sense the condition of, and treat, the chakra system of your patients.

(Steps of a Typical Treatment)
Treatment Atmosphere:
It is beneficial to your patient to conduct your energy field healing treatments in a pleasant setting. Treatments should take place in a peaceful, restful, calm and supportive environment. It is important that the patient be lying down, and warm and comfortable. It is generally best to have a special table for treatment. A massage table of the proper height is ideal (it is virtually a necessity for this type of healing), as it easily enables you to place your hands in the positions without tiring or straining. Some people enjoy having music playing softly in the background, yet make sure this does not distract you from giving an effective treatment.
It is beneficial to your patient to have an air of calmness and confidence, during treatment, and an interest in nurturing the person you are treating. Healing is an act of nurturing, done to aid another human being. Generally, it is best not to carry on a “busy” conversation while treating with the energy, but it is acceptable to share a few words to the person if you feel it is beneficial during the treatment.
It will be often that the patient will enter into a calm, peaceful and relaxed state, and perhaps have experiences of expanded awareness. It is also possible, on occasion, that healing treatments may coincide with experiences or memories of past traumas, repressed emotions surfacing, or other symptoms unpleasant to the patient which sometimes accompany the personal healing process. In healing there are occasions where the healing process of the patient may manifest these disturbances in the body or mind, and they cannot be predicted or controlled by the healer. It is beneficial, at these times, to be a present and compassionate supporter and yet not become “wrapped up” in whatever is coming up—to maintain the openness and clarity necessary for healing while acknowledging and encouraging the patient to express and embrace whatever thoughts or emotions may be manifesting during treatment. It is also possible for the patient to have “peak experiences,” unusual or extraordinary experiences in consciousness, and the healer can again act in an affirming and supportive role.
Calling In the Energy:
To begin a treatment, you must first summon the energy, requesting that it begin to flow. Stand by yourself for a moment, close your eyes and begin to see and feel the energy flowing into you from all around you, into your body. See the energy filling your body, and then moving to your shoulders, and down through your shoulders and arms, and down into your hands, filling them like water filling a glove. Really see the energy coming in, flowing through you and building in your hands. Do not try to “force” the energy, just see it effortlessly building in this way, as you have practiced. Release yourself to the energy.
Passing the Hands:
For a few brief moments, before laying on the hands, pass your hands over your patient to gain some idea of the condition of their energy field. Move your hands, slowly, over the front of the body, from the top of the head all the way down to the feet, with your open palms about 4 or 5 inches away, using one hand at a time. Relax your hands as you do this, and be open to sensations in them. What do you feel? Are there certain chakras that you sense are going to need extra energy during this treatment? Are there certain other areas in which you feel an energy disturbance of some sort—a “bump,” a “dip,” a hot or cold feeling? Are your hands drawn to certain areas, or are their certain areas you have sensed something and have received the impression that they are in need of special treatment? You may wish to make note of all such areas, later giving special attention to them during treatment by conducting extra energy to them, if you feel it is required. You should also be aware of any intuitive information you receive about these areas, as you pass the hands over them. Your patient may also find this passing of hands quite soothing.
The Treatment Hand Positions:
After practicing sensing the energy field, begin the hand positions, conducting energy to the chakras. Use the sequence shown below. Begin with your patient lying on his or her back, and stand at the head of the treatment table to treat the 7th chakra in the manner described. Move successively down the chakras, and then ask the patient to turn over, so you can treat the rear component of the chakras. It is important to use proper hand placement on the chakra positions. In each of the positions, keep your hands relatively open and flat, with fingers together but relaxed, and remember to use zero pressure. In each position, be open and aware of the energy flow. How much energy does each chakra draw—do some “want” more energy than others?
Treat your patient in each of the following positions, allowing yourself to feel the energy flow through your hands, and treating each position until you feel the flow diminish or until you gain a sense of completeness. This will inform you when it is time to move to the next hand position. You will often find yourself treating each chakra position for three to five minutes, but this will vary, because some locations will need more of the energy than others. As you treat, allow yourself to begin to gain a sense of how the energy is flowing through you and through your patient. Begin to “tune in” to your patient’s energy field. What are you sensing or feeling about the patient? Suspend your rational thinking process and simply be aware, and allow impressions to come to you. Healing is best done in a state of openness and holistic awareness. All you must do to access this state is to set yourself free, and release yourself to the energy and the healing taking place.
You will notice that the first chakra is not treated in a standard treatment. This is because to do so would require placing the hands directly on the genital region. In healing the hands are never placed on or near the genital region as this might disturb, offend or cause psychological discomfort to the patient.
7th Chakra:
Stand at the head of the treatment table. Place your hands, not on the very top of the head, but on the top sides of the head, with your fingers pointing downwards. This provides for maximum stimulation. The hands should not be too far apart, perhaps with a gap of 2 to 3 inches between the little fingers. Conduct the energy, easily and effortlessly, into this chakra.
6th chakra:
Move to the side of the treatment table (almost all healers will find the patient’s right side the best side to work from, for the rest of the healing treatment). Center your right palm between and just above the eyebrows. At the same time, place your left palm underneath the head, centering it, not directly underneath, but between the back of the head and the neck, just below the curve of the back of the head. Conduct the energy to this chakra. You are treating both components at the same time, one with each hand. This will require you to stand to the patient’s side, usually the right side, for this and the following chakra positions.

5th chakra:
Center your right palm over or just above the pit in the throat, and your left palm below the base of the neck, underneath the patient and directly back from the front palm.Conduct the energy as before.
4th chakra (front component):
Center your right palm directly between the breasts (between the nipples), and then place your left hand alongside your right hand, and just above it on the patient’s body, so that they gently overlap (just thumbs, or thumbs and index fingers may overlap). If you are a male healer treating a woman, you will have to use care, and vary hand positions somewhat to show courtesy, but try to keep the right palm centered over the chakra. Now conduct the energy. You are just treating the front component of this chakra—you will treat the rear component later.
3rd chakra (front component):
Center your right palm at a point about half way between the depression at the bottom of the sternum and the navel. This will be several inches above the navel. Place your left hand just above the right, with them gently overlapping, as before. Conduct the energy.

2nd chakra (front component):
Center your right palm at a point about half way between the navel and the protruding front portion of the pubic bone (which is at the top of the genital region). Place your left hand just above the right, and gently overlapping. Conduct the energy.
Arms and Legs:
Skip this step when first learning—It is most important to treat the chakras. Later, after you have gained some experience, your patient will also benefit from treatment of the arms and legs if you wish to do so or feel it would be beneficial. Begin with the right arm, placing your right palm on the inside of the elbow joint, right palm on the outside. Proceed around the treatment table, in either direction, using your right palm on the inside portion of each limb joint (elbows and knees), your left palm on the outside .Conduct the energy.
Supplemental Areas:
Again, skip this step when first learning. Later, after a little experience, your patient will benefit from treatment of any special areas that you sensed in the aura using the passing of hands at the beginning of the treatment. Place your hands directly over these areas in the same manner as with a chakra, the right palm centered over the area, with the left hand gently overlapping the right hand. You may also sense with your intuition, during treatment, additional areas that would benefit from treatment. Treat all such areas accordingly. In all such positions, allow yourself to be open to sensing the flow of energy—where it may be going—and to information on what the patient’s condition in that area may be.
In addition, you may also at this time wish to treat any area in the patient’s body where injury, illness or disease are present. Place your hands directly over, or adjacent to, the affected area. See “Precautions and Special Situations,” below, for some suggestions for situations you may encounter.
2nd chakra (rear component):
Ask your patient to turn over, so that they now lie on their stomach. Remain on the same side of the treatment table as before. Now center your right palm on the 4th or 5th lumbar vertebra (1 or 2 vertebra up from the sacrum), and place your left hand just above the right hand, gently overlapping. Conduct the energy.
3rd chakra (rear component):
Imagine, first, where the rear component of the 4th chakra is (directly in back of the body from the front component), then center your right palm about half-way between this point and the point where you treated the rear component of the 2nd chakra. Then place your left hand just above your right, gently overlapping. Conduct the energy.
4th chakra (rear component):
Center your right palm at a point directly in back of the body from the front component. Place your left hand just above your right, gently overlapping. Conduct the energy.
Ending Treatment:
End the treatment by standing by yourself for a quiet moment, and requesting that the energy stop flowing. It is a quieting. See it stop its flow into your body, then stopping its flow through your hands. Feel a sense of completeness, and perhaps give a moment of thanks in your heart.
The hand positions, as given above, are a guideline while learning. It is ideal to use the passing of hands to get a sense of exactly where each chakra is, and thereby center your hands more precisely, to maximize the energy flow. You can use the passing of hands just before each treatment position, in this way, if you wish. The precise positions on the human body that correspond to the chakras may vary from person to person, as each person is unique.
The vast majority of healers will find it comfortable to employ the hand positions described above, centering first the right palm over the chakra and then placing the left partially overlapping the right. The right hand is generally a little more active and more attuned to the energy flow. This is true for nearly all healers—whether right or left-handed—and so to place the right palm directly over the chakra position provides maximum stimulation. If, however, you find yourself continuously uncomfortable using this arrangement, try centering your left palm on the chakra or seek Support through this website.


PROCEDURES FOR DISEASE -- CHIOS LEVEL I
There are certain situations which require you to take precautions or special measures to increase the safety and effectiveness of your treatments. Most often this occurs when disease is present in the patient. It is wise to ask every patient, prior to treatment, if there is any physical condition or disease present that you should know about, or if they are under a doctor’s care for any specific condition. Always include the following precautions or special procedures, when appropriate:
Heart Disease: When treating a person with mild heart disease, proceed as usual. For a person who is on medication for heart disease, treat the heart chakra last. If the person has heart disease in an advanced stage, treat the heart chakra last, and for an extended period of time (up to half an hour in some cases).
Diabetes: Always treat diabetics from the lower chakras upwards (start at the lowest chakra you usually treat, the 2nd chakra, when treating the front of the body, and move upwards, as you usually do in the back).
Neurological Diseases: Treat from the lower chakras up, as with diabetics, above.
Burns: When the hands may not be placed on the body, as with burned areas, the hands may instead be placed a few inches, up to 3 to 5 inches, above the burned area, and the energy will still transfer to the patient in good quantity, although it will not be quite as effective.
Diseases of the Internal Organs: Treat as usual, but spend extra time on the chakra(s) nearest the affected organ(s).
Mental Disorders: It is impossible to predict the effect of treatment. You must proceed with caution. Treat the person for a short time, one-half or one-third of the normal treatment time per chakra, and note any effects. Proceed carefully.
Cancer: No special precautions are required, but place your hands directly over the diseased area, or as close as you can, for an extended period (up to half an hour). It is beneficial to, instead of keeping the hands in a static position, vary the position of the hands around the affected area during treatment.
Pregnancy: Pregnant women must always lie on their side for treatment. You may alter the usual hand positions in such a way that you treat both components of the fourth, third and second chakras at the same time, if you wish. If you do so, center your right palm over the front component, and your left palm over the rear component.
Colds and Flu: For persons suffering from colds, passing viral illnesses, etc., you may give frequent treatments, but of shorter duration, one-half or one-third of the usual time on each chakra position. These short treatments are a tonic to the sufferer, but a longer treatment tends to tire the body.
AIDS: Special considerations are not necessary, but after you have gained considerable experience with energy transfer, you may try the following advanced exercise: seek to impart a stillness in the energy of your hands, rather than an energizing force. Feel the stillness in yourself, and pass this on, as the energy, through your hands.
Broken Bones, Sprains or Traumatized Areas: Place your hands directly over the afflicted area in addition to normal treatment.
Children: Treat children for one-half to one-third the usual amount of time at each chakra position. Children should not receive more than one treatment every 8 or 9 days, also.

A good first step in learning to give more powerful and effective healing treatments is to learn to call in greater amounts of healing energy into yourself. In fact, the effective use of most of the healing tools you will learn in this course also requires that you have the ability to call in this greater amount of energy for use in healing.
In the first level you learned how to call in the energy by “seeing,” in your mind’s eye the energy flowing into you from all around, down your hands and conducting into your patient. In this level, you will also use symbols, which are tools for greatly adding to the amount of energy you can call in and channel to the patient. It is possible to call in and channel the energy without using symbols, as you already have done, but the use of symbols will add much to the quantity and power of the energy. The symbols will have other uses, also, such as clearing blocked chakras. They are tools—vehicles for the focus of energy.
There are three symbols used in this level of the Chios system: the Circle, the Trine, and the Star. These symbols are simple and elementary, it is true, but they are also related to the elementary essence of all existence—they are simple and close to the essence, and this gives them the potential to be powerful and effective. Humanity has had an instinctive understanding of the powers that move in the physical world, the essence of the powers that make existence possible, the powers that build form and give shape to all we know. This instinctive understanding recognizes the shape of these powers, and in the mind’s eye these symbols take shape as representative of some of the basic, elementary powers of creation.
These symbols are not merely physical shapes; they are universal symbols that correspond to universal patterns of energy. There is, in each symbol, an essence linked to the shape. They are, in their essence, representations of the ways in which energy and awareness flows in our manifested world, and are therefore useful in healing work. Do not think that because they are simple, they cannot be powerful. At various times in the past, man has been much more aware of the power and uses of simple symbols than we are today, in our modern technological civilization, where it is often mistakenly assumed that something must be complex to be powerful. These symbols have been known, and used as symbols of power, in virtually every culture on earth, and in the magical tradition, as well. While there are other symbols that have been used in healing work, these particular symbols are potentially more powerful than any. They are powerful tools of awareness.
It may interest you to have some idea of the meaning and the essence behind each of these symbols—indicative of the energy patterns they represent—and this is given below. Do not be bound, however, by these descriptions, because the true understanding of these symbols transcends description. The description is only an approximation of the essence. The essence of each symbol is beyond words or ideas. It is important, therefore, not to think of any meaning when using these symbols, and to just be aware of the symbol itself. The true meaning and power is inherent in each symbol.
The Circle:
The Circle, which is the outline of a circle (not filled in), is the symbol of wholeness, unending life force, and the unity of creation—the beginning and end of all things. It attunes with the all. It is complete, and draws together and encompasses all that is. It also represents duality, inside and outside, but shows, in its completeness, that apparent duality resolves itself in unity, in one being.

In healing, one often works with separated (polar) energies—energies not completelyconnected or harmonious. The Circle not only calls forth polar energies; it pulls them together and resolves them. When summoning the energy at the beginning of treatments, it is used to draw life energy from the earth and all around, using the body life force to receive the universal life energy, the two energies meeting. The Circle uses the energy that is already in the body to receive the energy that exists all around. It assists the healer in opening his or her self and in bringing in the energy.
The Circle creates an opening of the spirit, a balanced harmony between the spirit and the earth.
The Trine:
The Trine, which is the outline of an equilateral triangle (not filled in), is the symbol of penetration to higher levels of existence. It awakens the mind to the higher levels. It points upward, and connects this world to the higher worlds.
Its three sides correspond to the many trinities in spiritual systems, but especially as a symbol of the passing, from one to the other, between incarnation and discarnate life (the base points of the trine), with the goal of spiritual growth and rising above the world towards a state of self-realization and spiritual liberation. As a symbol of this ascension, it represents a heightened and broadened awareness, a refined perception and a higher rate of vibration: an ascension to a higher level of reality.

When it is used at the beginning of treatments, it ascends to pull energy together and move it upward towards the higher levels, bringing the healing energy to a higher vibration. This lends a more powerful and purifying effect to the healing energy, and increases the healer’s sensitivity to the energy.
The Trine leads the spirit towards growth; it is an elevation of the personal spirit as it relates to this existence, a rising from the earth.
The Star:
The Star, a regular five pointed star (and filled in to a solid shape), is a focus for energy between this world and higher worlds. It is a channel between the manifested world and the realm of pure being which is the source and essence of our life. It is different from the Trine, but can be thought of as the Trine symbol focused and combined with this earth (trine shapes spaced around a circular outline).
It has five points pointing in, and five pointing out, corresponding to its use as a focus forenergy between this world and the higher levels. It can be used to draw and focus energy from a higher level onto this world, and has the power to correct major distortions in the flow of energy in the human energy field, by virtue of its ability to tap the power inherent in this higher realm. As a channel between our manifested life in the world and the realm of pure spirit, it is also very effective when used to treat the 7th chakra, which corresponds to the sum total of our beingness and our spiritual totality—the total relationship we have between the world of spirit and our material existence.

The Star is beyond the earth—it is where there is no beginning and no end, to a broader existence, not even existence, beyond existence. As we all exist on this earth now, we also exist above. As a person standing on the shore watches the waves on the ocean, and feels a stirring within, the Star calls forth the beyond and all times. It is also our higher self, the totality of our being. The Star is a channel to a realm beyond time and space. It is the light above us, and in us, and leads to an understanding of eternity.
Using Visualization to Direct Energy:
These symbols are one tool the healer uses to direct energy for the purpose of becoming able to heal the energy field of the patient. The ability of these symbols to assist in directing energy is activated by visualizing them.
Visualization is a very useful tool in healing, because it enables the healer to direct energy in many different ways. “Energy follows thought” is a well-known maxim, and the meaning of this saying is that the proper visualization of energy flow, in the mind’s eye, is sufficient to direct the energy in whatever manner the healer desires. This may be done by visualizing the flow of the energy itself, or through other methods—the use of symbols which represent patterns of energy flow being an important example. When the healer visualizes a pattern of energy flow itself, in his or her mind’s eye, the energy is activated to flow in that manner. When the healer visualizes a symbol in his or her mind’s eye, the nature of energy flow that is contained in the essence of that symbol is activated, and the energy flows according to that nature. Both of these uses of visualization are important and will be used in this level.
In order to make effective use of this ability to direct energy through visualization, the healer must visualize in the proper way. When an energy flow is visualized, for example, it is important to understand that visualization is not the same as “thinking about” the desired energy flow, or “pretending to see” the energy flow, but is a process of sensing and becoming the energy flow. This sensing and becoming the energy flow serves to activate the inner ability of the healer to direct the energy flow in the manner visualized and cause it to flow in or act on the energy field of the patient in a certain manner. When a symbol is visualized, it is similarly important that the healer sense and become one with the symbol, and not merely “think about” or “pretend to see” it. This proper visualization of the symbol is what activates the inner essence, the inner power of the symbol, and sets the energy flow into motion according to the pattern of energy flow that the symbol represents. Visualization is the process of maintaining one particular symbol or one intended flow of energy in the awareness, in a complete and effortless way, and it is this proper practice that makes the exercise of this energy-directing ability possible.
In this Chios level, you will learn techniques that will often require you to sense and become a desired flow or pattern of energy, a symbol, or even both at the same time. Most of the techniques that you will learn, and use to heal the various defects that you will encounter in the energy field of your patients, will require you to use this ability of visualization to work with the energy. The first way that you will employ the power of visualization is to use symbols during your calling in of the energy, at the beginning of treatment, where you will use the Circle and the Trine to call in and refine the flow of energy, so that it may be effectively channeled to the patient.
To visualize these symbols opens the body as a channel for the energy, and summons the energy through the body at the same time. These symbols, when used at the beginning of treatment, greatly add to the energy available to the healer. They are information for the body and mind, and speak to the body and mind to pull in and raise the energy. They call forth energies and awaken channels in the body for the energy, to make the body more receptive. The body responds to them by opening up further. It is the body’s nature to respond thus—channeling the energy in this way is a natural human ability that the symbols (as well as the attunements) activate.
If you have learned the practice of Chios Meditation, you will have a good understanding of the process of visualization, and your experience of it through your meditation practice will be of great benefit to you in your use of these symbols and the various other healing techniques in this level. In your use of visualization at the beginning of treatment, as well as in the many places it is used during treatment, you should follow the learning and understandings of visualization you gained from Chios Meditation.
If you have not yet studied this form of meditation, the following exercise will provide an introduction to visualization of symbols:
Sit comfortably with your eyes closed, and seek a calmness, a quietness in your mind. Imagine, in your mind, a Circle. Do not merely “think about,” or “pretend to see” the Circle, but begin to feel its circular shape with your mind. Ask yourself, how does it feel to be that shape? Feel that you are the Circle, and should other feelings or thoughts come up, simply “drop them”—allow them to become unimportant as you just return your focus of awareness to sensing only the circular shape of the Circle alone. Seek to merge with the Circle, feel your entire being sensing, moving into and becoming one with the Circle. If you find yourself “thinking about” the Circle, stop thinking and just be it. If you find yourself “pretending to see” the Circle, release the “visual” portion of your awareness of it, the portion of your awareness that “sees” it as if you were using your eyes, and just become it. Do not think about or pretend to see the Circle. Be the Circle. Sense it effortlessly. Continue sensing yourself as the Circle for a moment, then end the exercise by stopping your sensing of the Circle and resting for a moment, with your eyes closed.
Repeat this exercise with the other two symbols to gain a sense of them, also. The Trine is sensed in its outline shape, but the Star is sensed more as a solid (filled in) object, with its points.
You have, in your study of Chios Level I, already begun to practice visualization of energy flows, when you began to “see,” in your mind’s eye, the energy flowing into you, conducting through you, and then into your patient. The very same principles of visualization that apply to the visualization of symbols, as discussed above, also apply to visualization of energy flows: When visualizing the energy flowing or acting in a certain manner, simply sense and become the flow or action of energy, in an effortless way, and do not merely “think about” or “pretend to see” the energy acting in that manner.
Calling in the Energy Using Visualization of Symbols:
You are now ready to begin treatment using these symbols. In visualizing the energy begin to flow through you, and visualizing the symbols in order to increase its flow, be sure to remember that your visualizations must be done effortlessly, and with a release to the energy.
To call in the energy using symbols, stand by yourself for a moment, eyes closed, and visualize the energy beginning to flow. Really sense it coming into you from all around, coursing through your body, through your shoulders and arms and down to your hands. Feel it begin to collect in your hands. Visualize this energy flowing into you—not by thinking or pretending to see—but by sensing and becoming this energy flow, in your mind’s eye.

Now, visualize the Circle. Sense yourself as the Circle, and then feel the Circle as being composed of a white light, brought to a dazzling, flaring brightness of light, and held in the mind for about 10 seconds, and then dimmed. Bring the Circle to brightness in this way for two additional times, for a total of three times, and then dimmed.
Visualize, now, the Trine. Sense yourself as the Trine, and then feel the Trine brought to a dazzling, flaring brightness, held in the mind for about 10 seconds, and then dimmed. Bring the Trine to brightness in this way for two additional times, for a total of three times, then dimmed.
Now visualize the Circle again, brought to a final, single, quieting brightness, unlike a flare, a brightness that is held in the mind for about 10 seconds, and then swells and fills out into you, a warm light suffusing into your entire body.
Throughout the entire time you perform these visualizations, be certain you are performing them effortlessly, and are releasing yourself to the greater energy flow. The symbols each have a beauty in them; therefore you should see them with beauty, also. You may very well sense the greater energy as a stimulating feeling in your hands and body. The harnessing of the energy provides a sensation in the body not unlike the sensation of emotion. You may notice a sensation akin to this. Note that the Star is never used at the beginning of treatment when calling in the energy.
You have now opened yourself up to channel much larger amounts of the energy into your patient, and will also experience more power in performing the many healing tools you will learn in Chios Level II.

SIMPLE ENERGETIC DEFECTS
After learning how to call greater amounts of energy into yourself for use in healing, your next task is to begin to learn how to sense, and then treat, energetic defects you may encounter in the aura and chakras of your patients. The nature of these energetic defects will be discussed first, then you will practice several techniques for detecting them, and finally, during the remainder of this level, you will learn various methods for their correction.
There are a total of four potential defects of the aura that you will learn to treat in this level. They are: energetic impurities in the aura, leaks and tears in the auric field, energy depletion of the auric field and disturbance of energy flow in the aura. The fifth condition you will learn to treat is blocked chakras.
Blocked Chakras:
Blocked chakras are chakras in which the upward flow of energy that usually ascends through the chakra system has become restricted or stopped, at one or more particular chakra points. Blocked chakras also restrict the entire flow of energy in the body. The entire body is a conductor of the life energy—it does not merely conduct upwards through the spine, but also into each chakra and then throughout the body. Blockage of a chakra also prevents this energy flow, in addition to blocking the upward flow of energy through the chakra system, and so a blocked chakra has a significant effect on the entire energy field of the patient. Generally, a patient will usually exhibit at least one, and often more, blocked chakras.
Blocked chakras coincide with certain psychological issues—with certain existential biases that the patient has adopted in their relationship to reality. These existential biases inhibit the wider range of self-awareness and action available to the patient, restricting it to a limited range of expression. Often they are tied to the emotions, although other aspects of the being are invariably involved. The manner in which the energy in the chakra system (and the body) is similarly restricted, and cannot operate freely and effectively at certain levels, reflects the corresponding way in which the entire life process has become restricted. Because the operation of the chakras is central to the healthy functioning of the entire being—physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually—it is very important to become aware of and correct any defective conditions in them. Unblocking chakras, in concert with other techniques, often provides a great deal of emotional healing and spiritual healing for the patient, and prevents physical disease, too.
It is very common to find blocked 4th, 5th and 6th chakras on patients. Blocked 2nd, 3rd and 7th chakras are also fairly common, while blocked 1st chakras are somewhat less common. Many patients will have one blocked chakra, and many others will have two or even more blocked chakras—a low one and a high one, for example. When two or more blocked chakras are present in a patient, it is usually indicative of more than one cause at work—different causes in different chakras—although they may have some relation to each other. Sometimes patients will exhibit a chakra that is chronically blocked, as well as another chakra or chakras that are blocked occasionally, with changes in the individual’s life. Working to unblock chakras that have become blocked can have far-reaching benefits to the patient.
Leaks and Tears:
Leaks and tears of the aura are portions of the auric field where the “fabric” of the auric field layers has become damaged—areas in which the integrity of the energy field has failed. Leaks and tears are closely related, and are treated using the same technique, yet also have important differences.
Leaks generally occur on the first layer of aura, the layer closest to the physical body. They are regions of the field where the energy of the field is being slowly dissipated, instead of being retained in its normal pattern to support the health and proper functioning of the life process. Leaks may be likened to a “wearing thin” of the auric field. As a wearing thin of fabric allows for a loss of protection and weakening of a fabric garment, resulting in a loss of body heat, leaks of the aura reflect a weakening and loss of protection of the auric field. The loss of energy that results from leaks is detrimental to the patient, for the weak energetic condition that results inhibits the life process by sapping the strength of the life energy.
Leaks are generally found over areas of the physical body that have been subject to wear, strain or physical trauma of some kind, and are often found over joints. They are a weakening of the energy field that requires strengthening. Leaks are usually found on the front of the body, for instance, the knees and shoulders are very common places to find them. They are also found near the neck, the ankles and the elbows.
Tears are similar to leaks, in that they are regions where the auric field has become damaged. Tears, however, are a more severe form of damage. They can be likened to an actual “tear” of the field. As a tear in fabric serves to completely destroy the covering, tears in the aura are more like complete openings: they are “holes”—regions of complete loss of field integrity—and are harmful to the patient. Like leaks, tears can result in loss of energy, but whereas leaks are a more gradual loss of energy, tears are more serious. They also leave the patient vulnerable to outside energies. They are a loss of protection from the energy covering that the field provides, also.
Tears usually exist on the lower layers of aura. They can be found on the first layer, but can sometimes also extend beyond the first layer of aura, out to the second and third layers, and even higher. Such tears almost always begin on the first layer of aura, nearest the body, and successively extend through higher layers, although in rare cases they may begin on higher layers. Tears, like leaks, are often related to stress of some kind, but tears are a more severe form of damage, and are often related to emotional, mental or spiritual stresses or past traumatic experiences. Some traumas are severe enough to cause tears in two, three or even more of the higher aura layers, and tears can be found on any layer of aura. Such large tears on multiple layers can result in not merely energy loss, but also in further psychic vulnerability.
Tears are usually found only on the front of the body, and can be large or small. It is somewhat common to find small tears over the chakras (often the 3rd, 4th or 5th), or over the face or other portions of the body. Larger, more catastrophic tears, including ones that extend to the higher layers of the aura, can sometimes be found over various parts of the torso—the abdomen or chest area—although they can occur elsewhere, too. It is of great benefit to the patient to correct these damaged areas of the field layers.
Auric Energy Impurities:
Auric energy impurities are areas of energy in the aura that are not necessary for the normal, healthy energetic functioning of the field. They are zones of undesirable stagnant energy accumulation in the aura—stultified energies that inhibit or act as blockages to the free flow of energy in the energy field. They are unhealthy energies that are not necessary for the life process of the individual, and that can contribute to further physical disease, emotional troubles and illnesses, or problems in the mental or spiritual life. They inhibit the free flow, and hence the healthy energetic functioning, of the aura.
These energy impurities are often “stuck” to the energy field at certain locations, almost as though with static electricity. These blocks—these areas or zones of static energy impurity—are often found in and just over the surface of the body, in contact with the body, yet often extend into the body itself and also out into the auric field a short distance. They are of various shapes and sizes and are associated with the lower layers of aura—they are “by products” associated with faulty energetic functioning of the body and are sometimes also connected with unhealthy thoughts or emotions that are being “held” by the patient—they are stagnant and unhealthy emotional or mental “by-products” that are similarly detrimental to the energetic health of the patient.
Auric energy impurities are commonly found on patients. They generally appear on the front of the body—often around the head, face, neck, shoulders, chest, lower abdomen or hips. In many patients, they are found over one or more chakras—often the 4th, 7th or 2nd. It is very desirable to be able to detect, and then remove, these unhealthy and detrimental energies from the patient’s field. Removing these energies, in conjunction with the unblocking of chakras, provides a great deal of emotional healing and spiritual healing for the patient. Removing these unhealthy energies also assists in treatment and prevention of physical disease.
Energy Depletion:
Energy depletion is a weakness in the energetic operation of the energy field—it is a lack of sufficient energy to give the energy field vibrancy and to adequately support the life process of the patient, on all levels. It generally manifests as a condition of low or depleted energy on all layers of the auric field.
When the strength of the life energy becomes too low, the body, emotions and mind become less integral in their operation and become more susceptible to illnesses and afflictions of various sorts. A lack of normal energy levels in the energy field results in a condition of diminished overall health in the individual. This weakened energy condition often accompanies serious illness—physical, emotional or mental. Even when serious illness is not yet present in a patient, energy depletion, if left untreated, will make it more likely that serious illness will eventually result.
This condition of energy depletion can occur, not only in the entire energy field, but also sometimes in those portions of the field over certain bodily areas. This condition, which can sometimes be found over the lower legs or arms, is termed local energy depletion to distinguish it from the more common, and more serious, overall or global energy depletion. This local energy depletion is most commonly found in the lower legs, although it sometimes occurs in the lower arms as well. It is very desirable to correct the condition of energy depletion, when it is found, and to do so is a great contribution to the patient, especially for those patients suffering from serious illnesses.
Disturbance in Energy Flow:
Disturbance in energy flow, a condition of overall irregularity in the pattern of the flow of the life energy, is a condition usually most evident on the lower layers of the aura—generally the first layer or first few layers. The energy on these lower layers, especially the first layer, flows in a set pattern—in a normal, healthy pattern—upon which the energetic and bodily health of the individual depends. Sometimes this flow of energy in the energy field becomes erratic and uneven, from various disturbances in the patient—the energy becomes disrupted from its normal paths. It exhibits an overall disharmony in its flow, potentially resulting in unhealthy consequences for the individual should this condition remain untreated.
A condition of disturbance of energy flow usually occurs over the entire body region—a global disruption in the flow of energy in the lower field layer or layers. This disturbance of energy flow affects the flow of energy over the entire body, and is not tied to any chakra or any particular location in the aura.
Although disturbance of energy flow usually occurs over the entire field, without being tied to any particular location, it can occur in specific local regions, also. This disturbance of energy flow in certain particular areas, often in portions of the torso, is called local disturbance in energy flow, to distinguish it from the somewhat more common global, or overall disturbance in the flow of the life energy.
Although a global disturbance in energy flow is not common, it will be found on some patients. Local disturbance in energy flow is perhaps even less common. Nevertheless, when disturbances of energy flow are found they can be corrected, and it is beneficial to the energetic health of the patient to do so. This acts to prevent potential disease in the organs and tissues of the body.

You will begin each healing treatment by calling in the energy using symbols, as previously described. After this, however, your first task is to begin the process of assessing the condition of your patient. Each patient will present him- or herself to you with specific energetic defects in the energy field, and specific treatment needs. You will therefore need to treat each patient as unique, and seek to come to an understanding of his or her condition prior to treatment. You must remember, however, that this process of becoming aware of the condition of your patient also continues throughout treatment-that you will use your perceptual tools throughout your work to continually refine and add to your understanding of the patient, as you treat.
In Chios Level II you will use three main perceptual tools to inform yourself of your patient's condition: 1) The psychic information and guidance you receive regarding the condition of your patient's aura and chakras, as perceived through your intuitive sense (in your mind's eye); 2) Your observations, as you learn to observe the aura and chakras of the patient using your own eyes, and 3) Sensations in your hands, especially as you practice the passing-of-hands over the patient's energy field. The information you receive from these sources will be combined and used together. You will use these perceptual tools to look for blocked chakras, leaks and tears in the auric field, auric energy impurities, energy depletion and disturbances in energy flow-the simple energetic defects that you will learn to treat as you study this level. The first perceptual tool you will study, in order to begin to sense these defects, is the reception of intuitive (psychic) information and guidance.
A primary and very important tool of the healer is the ability to obtain psychic information and guidance. Beyond the level of our "everyday" awareness, with our busy "thinking mind" which preoccupies itself with the surface level of reality, lies a greater realm of awareness, within which lies great knowledge and power. Each of us has, by virtue of our intuitive mind, a connection to this wider realm. This deeper awareness, present in each of us, contains within it all the information we might ever seek to know-including knowledge of the condition of the patient's aura and chakras, contributing factors in the psychology and life experience of the patient, and the most beneficial way for healing treatment to proceed. This psychic information can be accessed by developing and refining the connection we all have to this wider realm of awareness. This can be done by cultivating our intuitive abilities, through practice using the proper technique. The healer can therefore acquire this useful information, use it to become more aware of the patient's condition and thereby be able to plan and give a more effective and beneficial treatment.
Learning to access the knowledge contained in this realm of higher awareness not only enables the healer to receive information on his or her own-from the higher awareness of the healer-but also to open a channel to receive guidance. Often, the healer will be assisted in obtaining this information, through the assistance of an entity which exists on a higher level of awareness, a higher plane of existence-a guide. The guide acts to provide a channel, to facilitate the reception of this information, as a messenger to assist the healer. Because the guide exists at a higher level of reality, initial contact and effective communication may be difficult, at first, but through the training of the intuitive sense of the healer, the awareness "opens up," and a fuller, more comprehensive awareness and communication between healer and guide becomes possible.
The guide may also provide a conduit for the healer to exercise the healing power, which resides in this field of pure being. Whether a healer operates "alone," or with the assistance of a guide, it is this higher realm of awareness that provides much vital information for the healing of the patient. The development of intuitive ability is essential for the reception of this information. Learning to develop the intuition is the same overall process as becoming aware of, and able to accurately receive, guidance.
The technique that trains the awareness of the healer to begin to receive this intuitive (psychic) information is described below. This technique effectively assists the healer in asking for, and receiving, the desired information, and provides an entry into what will become the effortless and unitary reception and awareness of psychic information and guidance. From regular practice, you will find that your receptive ability will progressively increase and become more accurate, and you will naturally receive more information, as you work. You will also, if you have guidance, find that the more you work to become consciously aware of and use the information your guide offers, the stronger your guide's assistance becomes.
The Intuitive Technique for Practicing Reception of Psychic Information and Guidance:
Learning to obtain psychic information and guidance is begun through learning to do an intuitive reading. Understanding how the mind works to obtain this information, and then using the mind in an accurate and pure way to obtain it, assists the healer in learning this ability.
The human mind is often thought to be composed of two differing functions: the intellect, or rational mind, which thinks along specific avenues of thought, and the intuitive mind (or intuition), which is able to access information from the larger realm of intuitive awareness. These two functions correspond to the two cerebral hemispheres, and each has its part to play in our life, by virtue of its unique abilities. The rational mind, corresponding to the left hemisphere, is deductive, active, concentrates, and assists us in living in this world. It excels at focusing on specifics-at formulating, analyzing, interpreting things and taking specific action. The intuitive mind, corresponding to the right hemisphere, is expansive, passive, receptive and possesses an inner awareness beyond time and space. It excels at receiving impressions and coming to intuitive understanding of things, and is able to access information from the wider realm of awareness-it is our personal connection to this realm. These functions of the mind may also be termed the active principle (the rational mind) and receptive principle (intuitive mind), and may be used in a certain way to obtain psychic information. The active principle, with its ability to focus and formulate, is used to ask for the information that is desired-to focus the awareness upon the subject of the inquiry. The active principle is then "dropped," or left behind, so that the receptive principle may receive the information desired. Before the information comes, the rational mind (active principle) focuses the attention and intention, and then control is relinquished, so that the intuitive mind (receptive principle) may effortlessly receive the needed information. These are used in a certain way, and this method of asking for and receiving information is detailed below.
Before beginning treatment, stand with your eyes closed and concentrate, imagine in your mind's eye the shape of your patient's body, a body outline. Focus your awareness on a "blank" outline of the body alone, allowing all other thoughts and emotions to become unimportant. Create this shape in your mind. You will be doing this with the awareness that you will be receiving, shortly, information on the energy field of the patient. This concentration on the body outline will probably require a little effort, at least while learning. For a short moment let your attention concentrate, and focus, on this shape alone.

Then RELEASE all effort, relinquish all control, and open yourself up to effortless reception of information that will just come. Let your mind drift, let go of all thoughts and preconceptions, suspend your thinking. Do not "strive to see" anything. You may still "see" the body outline, although now other information will appear as patterns upon it-blotches or patterns on the body, fuzzy areas or other appearances in the aura, colors, or in many other ways. Let whatever comes just come, without placing any judgment or "thinking" bias upon it. See whatever is coming effortlessly. Notice how this release of effort, and seeing, is similar to visualization as you have practiced it. It is not the same as pretending to see, or as seeing with the physical eyes, it is "seeing" information intuitively, with the third eye chakra-information that is felt with the being.
It is not possible to tell you exactly what you will "see," because each person will perceive differently. You must experience, and interpret for yourself, your own unique perceptions. Perhaps you will "see" a discoloration or blotch over a chakra location, and know, at the same time, that it is a blocked chakra. Perhaps you will sense leaks or tears, damaged areas in the field leaking energy. Perhaps you will "see" muddiness around the head that you know to be auric impurities, and at the same time sense a gummy or mucky feel to the energy. Perhaps you will sense an overall disturbance of energy flow in the entire field. Perhaps you will sense energy depletion in the field, a weakness in the energy. You will sense any or all of these conditions in your patient, in various combinations, depending on that person's unique condition.
You may, at the same time, receive information regarding the proper treatment for these areas. You will not be limited, in your reading, to "psychic sight," as information may come also through "sounds" or "feelings," even in your own body. The important thing to understand, however, is that you will not be "seeing" as you normally do with your eyes. It will be something like remembering a distant memory, or like a dream you have decided to dream, without knowing exactly what it will be. It will not be information you "think," but information which just comes, automatically.
If, while receiving the information, you find yourself distracted by thoughts, let go of them. When you are receiving clear psychic information you are free from thoughts and emotions-free from the excessive activity of the "thinking mind"-and are allowing just the information coming from "beyond yourself" to emerge. If you are distracted by mundane thoughts, or doubt, do not react to them, just drop them and continue receiving the information effortlessly. This information coming from the ream of wider awareness, possibly from a guide, has a different "flavor," a different feel, that the thoughts from your own mind. You must learn for yourself how this difference feels.
This exercise will take just a moment or two, and may be repeated for a second or third time, if you feel it would benefit, although once will often be enough, especially after you have gained some experience in this basic technique. Whether performing one "round" of this technique, or several, allow all the information coming to begin to integrate into an overall understanding of the condition of your patient, as well as inform you of whatever of the various energetic defects of the aura and chakras may be present.
This technique is a very useful training tool, and should be used while you are learning and perfecting your ability to psychically "read" energy fields. When you become very advanced in the intuition technique, you will no longer have to consciously follow these steps. You will direct your awareness, and the information will come automatically. This basic technique can be used in many different ways.
In addition to "seeing" information, you may also receive sounds, feelings, inner knowings or other guidance at various times. Be open to any colors that speak to you - chakra colors or colors in lower layers of aura. You will use all this information, and the sensing with your hands, to allow a fuller understanding of the condition of your patient to emerge in your awareness. Do not merely "analyze" your patient's condition, but use your intuition to begin to integrate and assess the information you are receiving. Allow the information to emerge, as it is, trust your first impressions, and do not encourage your "thinking mind" to question or modify what emerges. Trust the information you are receiving, and learn to trust your intuitive sense-it is as valid a tool as your rational mind.

ASSESSING TREATMENT NEEDS
After obtaining psychic information and guidance, and attempting to view the aura yourself, you will use the passing-of-hands as your third main "information source," as you proceed in the process of becoming aware of your patient's treatment needs.
In Chios Level I you began to sense the human energy field and to practice the passing-of-hands. In this level, you will benefit from additional practice in this technique, so that you may refine it and gain further information from it. Now that you have received the second Chios attunement, your hands will be more sensitive, which should make it easier for you to sense the energies. After examining the body using the passing-of-hands, you will take the results of all three sources of information regarding your patient's condition, and integrate them into an interpretation of your patient's needs. You will do this, not in an exclusively "rational" way, but in a manner through which each "information source," and all of them, have worked together to give an awareness of the condition of your patient that has formed in your whole being.
Refining the Practice of the Passing-of-Hands:
It is important to practice the passing-of-hands in the proper manner, to gain accurate information about the patient’s energy field. Pass your hands only over the front of the body, but including the limbs, and all around the head area. They are passed palm facing downwards, with the fingers spread slightly. The hands should be relaxed, as if resting, so that they are receptive to the sensation of the energy. Notice how this is similar to the idea of "receptive phase," as you have learned it. They should remain about 4 to 5 inches above the body surface of your patient, and should be moved slowly, approximately 2 inches per second, while sensing the energy.
You may choose to keep the hands close together over the same area as you pass them (although there is no particular advantage in this), move them over different areas at the same time, or use just one hand alone. Often it is easiest and best to work with a single hand at a time. You must do what makes it easiest for you to sense. Usually the right hand is a little more sensitive, at least in the beginning, although after some experience both hands will probably become equally sensitive readers. Your sensitivity in both hands will also vary from day-to-day with changes in yourself.
The fingertip sweep exercise you practiced in the first level began to make you aware of the subtle sensations of the energy as you sense it with your hands. You have also begun to sense the energy field of your patient as a part of your treatments. There is another exercise you may practice now that will help you in tuning your sensitivity:
After calling in the energy using symbols, hold both of your hands out in front of you, relaxed, with palms open and fingers slightly spread. Now, pass your palms over each other, with the palm surfaces 4 to 5 inches apart. Do not try to "figure out" whatever you may be sensing-just pass them over each other while remaining open to the sensation and experiencing it with your entire being. Perform this exercise several times a day-when you practice it you are tuning your sensitivity-you are practicing the integration, at a deep level, of the delicate sensations the energy produces in each of your palms and your hands are comparing, refining and integrating their "separate" sensations.
You may also work to tune your sensitivity while examining the energy field of your patients. It is beneficial, when practicing the passing-of-hands, to first pass one hand, by itself, over a given area in the patient's field where sensation is detected, then pass the other hand over the same area. One hand may feel a sensation, and then the other hand may feel something slightly different. This experience will expand your sense of the energy, as if gaining more perspective. Do not try to mentally "figure out" the differing sensations; simply allow the experience to give you a more complete intuitive understanding of body energies. You are "tuning" your sensitivity, increasing your sensitivity and understanding of the energies, but you are not merely interpreting the sensations with your mind.

The delicate sensations you may feel as you pass your hands over your patient's body might manifest as a hot, cold, attracting ("dip") or repelling ("bump") feeling in certain areas, or in some other way. The sensation in the hands is not necessarily related to the type of auric phenomena being sensed by the hand, although feelings and impressions in the mind frequently will give information on the aura phenomena sensed. It is important, though, to remain free of any preconceptions of what you may sense, either with the hands, or with the intuition, during the passing of the hands. Release any expectations you may have, and you will then be free to sense the energy as it is. You will find that practice of this technique will, over time, result in your achieving greater and greater sensitivity to the energy.
Open your sensitivities to the patient's field and to the patient's energies. Try to attempt to learn and get a sense of the energy flows in the body and recognize areas where the flow is disturbed. You may also wish to try to "merge" with, to become the sensations and the energy flow, for this will help in opening your sensitivity to the energies and the energy field. You will therefore have greater holistic perception of the energy, and this will allow greater intuitive knowledge of whatever energetic defects in your patient's field may be the source of the sensations as you examine the patient with the passing-of-hands. This will also allow a greater overall awareness of your patient's condition to emerge in your being. The greater your sensitivity to your patient's field, and the fuller your understanding of its condition, the greater will be your power as a healer.
It is especially wise to pass the hands over whatever areas your intuitive reading and/or aura viewing has indicated a problem may exist, in order to gain additional information. Use the passing-of-hands to substantiate and add to your intuitive reading and your viewing of the aura. Combine and compare the feelings you get from all three sources of information. Should your hands give you information that is not confirmed by your intuition or eyes, do not discount it; the hands are accurate indicators of the auric energy, and they may sometimes indicate conditions not apparent to your "sight." In addition, you may receive intuitive insight in a visual or other form as you pass the hands over the body; feelings in your mind as you pass your hand over a certain chakra, for example. Those areas where you sense energetic defects will require treatment using specific techniques designed to correct the conditions.
Although you may, while you learn, practice the passing-of-hands as a separate step in your treatments, after the obtaining of psychic information and the viewing of the aura, there is no reason why it cannot be performed at the same time—alternating from one information source to the others to explore and confirm your perceptions. It is perfectly acceptable to perform an intuitive reading while at the same time attempting to confirm the psychic information you are receiving with your own observations of the aura (using the glancing technique), and to also pass the hands while these other sources of information are obtained. All three sources of information are used together and are compared with each other, in order that a complete and overall understanding of the patient's condition be obtained. This integration of the treatment needs of the patient, like each of the sources of information that contribute to it, acts to give impressions at a deep level-to the healer's entire conscious awareness. All the various forms of information the healer receives integrate into a deeper knowing.
Integrating an Interpretation of Treatment Needs:
As you practice and gain experience, you will begin to be able to discriminate between normal body conditions and unhealthy ones. You will find that healthy chakras, for example, will have a sensation of health and energy associated with them when the hands are passed over them, while with blocked chakras you will sense an "unhealthiness," and will feel that the energy ends abruptly where it should flow-a stoppage in the energy that flows upward through the chakra and into it from outside. This sense of unhealthiness will be easier to read after some practice-you must be clear and open to it. Blocked or diseased chakras may also have a blackened, muddied, smeared, or discolored appearance accompanying them, and will often appear this way to your mind's eye as you receive psychic information and guidance. Although blocked chakras are not easily detected through viewing of the aura, it is possible you will later acquire this ability.
Blocked 4th, 5th and 6th chakras are very common, while blocked 7th, 2nd, 3rd and 1st chakras are progressively less so. You will notice that some chakras will be chronically blocked on certain patients, while other chakras will be blocked occasionally, varying with the life circumstances of the patient. They are corrected using a technique called Unblocking Chakras.
A leak or tear, a region leaking energy from a damaged part of the field, may appear and have the feel of energy flowing or moving in an unlikely direction (often outward). You will get a sense of a break or rupture in the harmonious flow of energy-an unhealthy feel to its flow. Leaks and tears are similar, and are treated the same way.
Leaks may appear as a "jet" of energy flowing out from the body, usually near the knees, shoulders, neck, elbows or ankles. Tears may be seen as a rip in the field layer or layers, or sensed or felt as an openness in the field. These "holes" in the auric field are found over the chakras, over the face, and large tears, sometimes extending through several layers of aura are found most often over parts of the torso. Leaks and tears are corrected using a technique called Sealing Leaks and Tears.
Auric energy impurities will have the appearance or feel of heaviness, discord or impurity—excess energy material in a place where it is not supposed to be. They will often appear as clumps of material, fuzzy areas or discolored areas of darkened energy around the body. They are areas of undesirable stagnant energy accumulation, and are energy blockages of various kinds that inhibit the flow of clear energy in the energy field. The colors or appearance of these impurities will be unhealthy and undesirable looking, as opposed to the healthy, vibrant appearance of a clear aura; they will look or feel static, thick and discolored.
These impurities are commonly found around the head, face, shoulders, torso, hips and other areas. They also occur over chakras. Like blocked chakras and leaks and tears, auric impurities may have an "unhealthy" feel to them as you pass the hands. They are often produced by unhealthy energetic conditions within the body, and can sometimes also relate to undesirable emotions or thoughtforms. The clearing of auric impurities, along with the unblocking of chakras, often results in better physical health, and also emotional and mental clearing for the patient. Auric impurities are removed using a procedure called Aura Clearing.
A condition of energy depletion is sensed as an absence of the energy, a lack of robustness in the overall feel or appearance of the energy field. During your reception of psychic information and guidance, you may have learned of this condition in your patient, or you may have noticed, as you viewed the aura, that the energy seemed low—that the first layer (and higher layers) seemed dim. This condition will cause a weakness and dimness of the aura, on all its levels.
You may also sense this condition later, as you treat the patient with the laying-on-of-hands. During the placement of the hands you may also sense a lack of vitality in the body energy, and thereby confirm your perception.
Energy depletion is corrected through a technique know as Aura Charging. To re-establish its energetic vitality of the aura greatly aids the healing process, especially in the seriously ill, and serves to decrease the likelihood of further disease. Occasionally, energy depletion will occur only in certain areas of the aura, usually at the extremities. This will be sensed in the same manner as overall energy depletion, yet only in the lower legs or arms. A variation of aura charging, local aura charging, is then employed to re-vitalize the field at these locations.
A disturbance in energy flow may be sensed as an overall disharmony in the energy of the energy field, not tied to any chakra or other specific location in the field. It is a disjointed, jagged or unbalanced feel or appearance in the energy flow of the entire body. You may not sense it visually, but may sense in your being, at a certain level, an unpleasant or uncomfortable sensation, something like the sensation that screeching on a blackboard presents to your sense of hearing. There is usually no visual indication, either with psychic sight or with the eyes, but it is sensed on a subtle level by the healer as an uneasiness in the energy field of the patient—an uneasiness that the healer may even feel in his or her own body.
This condition is corrected through a procedure known as Correction of Energy Flow. When it is detected in only one particular area of the aura, occasionally over portions of the torso, it is corrected by local correction of energy flow, although this is a somewhat less commonly found condition.
You will, with practice, be able to discriminate between these different conditions, and know what treatment is appropriate. Using all the information you have gained from your reception of psychic information and guidance, viewing the aura, passing the hands and any other felt sense, integrate and plan the course of appropriate treatment. Above all, however, be aware that this understanding of the condition and proper treatment of the patient will form as feelings in the eyes, mind and hands. The idea is to form a knowing that is felt by your whole being.
After coming to a good understanding of your patient's condition, you will then proceed with treatment. The various techniques that you will use, and the proper method of their practice, are detailed in the remaining sections of this level. You will incorporate these techniques in the appropriate places during your treatment, and the recommended order in which you should do so is given in the Treatment Outline near the end.
SEALING LEAKS AND TEARS
After performing the passing-of-hands and assessing the treatment needs of your patient, the first technique you may wish to employ in order to treat energetic defects in the patient’s field is to repair any leaks or tears you have detected.
Strength and integrity in the auric field layers is a necessity for the energetic health of the patient, and as a foundation for other healing work. Sealing leaks and tears brings back the field integrity and prevents the energy loss and vulnerability of the energy field that would otherwise remain.
Sealing of leaks and tears is performed by moving one of your hands over the region where you have detected the leak or tear, in a way very similar to the passing-of-hands. To begin to seal any leaks or tears you have detected in your patient:
Hold one of your hands over the first leak or tear you wish to seal, in the same general position as during the passing-of-hands (palms about 4 to 5 inches above the body), but with the fingers gently held together, palms open and held flat (instead of relaxed).
Now slowly move your hand in a gentle back-and-forth or circular motion, over the area where you have detected the leak or tear—you will find that your “felt sense” will often tell you how to move it. Your hand, while moving, should travel at a speed of about 2 inches per second or so—if it is moved much slower or much faster than this the technique will not be as effective.

Whereas you were simply open to sensations, as you moved your hands during the passing-of-hands, you must, when sealing leaks or tears, instead take a more active role. As you move your hands over the leak or tear, you must visualize the leak or tear being repaired as you perform the motion. As you move your hands in sealing a leak, for example, you must intend and sense that the area of the first auric field layer over which the leak is occurring is being sealed shut—that the weakness or thinness of the energy field at that point is being supplemented, resupported and repaired as you move your hand over it. You must sense and become this sealing and repair of the auric energy layer—see the energy, as if in a layer below your hand, repairing the leak or tear in this way. It is the energy in your hand, combined with your visualizing ability, that provides the effectiveness of this technique—your mind’s eye directs the energy flowing through your hand to seal the field layer at that point.
When sealing a tear, you must similarly sense the auric field being fused shut, so that the open gash or rip that was the tear is instead sealed. The energy in your hand, in conjunction with the visualization in your mind’s eye, similarly works to repair the damaged area. When sealing either leaks or tears, smooth them over, and meld them, by moving your hand in this manner over them while visualizing them being repaired in this way. Seal them shut with your conscious awareness, so that the field is repaired and integral and energy can no longer escape. To seal a leak or tear in this way generally takes only a moment or two.
Leaks generally occur on the first layer of aura, commonly near joints, and tears are also often found which only exist in this lowest layer of aura. In these cases, the above-described procedure will suffice. There may be instances, however, where tears in the field are located further out (in higher levels of the aura)—the tear begins on the first layer but then also extends to the second, third or even higher layers. In these cases, you will need to seal the tear on each layer it occurs:
After sealing the first layer, progressively locate your hands farther out from the body, on each layer the tear occurs, and seal that layer using the proper technique given above. After sealing the first layer with the palm 4 to 5 inches above the body, for example, you may need to move the hand an additional 4 to 5 inches upwards, and seal the next level. You may need to proceed another 4 to 5 inches up to the third level, and then even higher. You will know, from your intuition and by feel, when such tears are present and how high they must be sealed. It is possible for the tear to extend up to any layer of aura, and such tears are commonly found. You must be open to your intuitive guidance, to sense when this is the case, and seal the layers to as high a level as necessary.
Sealing of leaks and tears is generally performed using only one hand at a time. Although you may choose to use the right hand, at first, with even a little practice both hands can become equally effective at this technique. Sealing of leaks and tears is done with the eyes open. Proceed to seal all leaks and tears that you have detected in your patient’s energy field, using this same technique.
Small tears sometimes occur over chakras. It is not the chakra that is torn (this is a rarer occurrence) but the field layer or layers above the chakra. This is another result of emotional or mental traumas. When this is encountered, the healer must seal the tears as usual.
Maintaining Transparency:
When sealing leaks and tears, as with all hand techniques taught in this Chios level, it is important at all times to be open and aware of the nature of the energy and the auric field with which you are working, and not to distance yourself from the energy flows. Although the hands are the instrument you use, bear in mind that, with the passing-of-hands, sealing leaks or tears, aura clearing, unblocking chakras, correction of energy flow and even the laying-on-of-hands, you are really using your whole being, through the hands. You must be open, and acting, as an entire self, to the entire field of energy you are addressing, and not just consider that it is the hand alone working with some small area of energy. It is necessary to set aside self-consciousness of the hand, or any particular aspect of your worldly self, and seek to work as a clear channel when practicing the healing techniques or reading your patient. You are practicing the techniques, or reading or viewing your patient’s aura with your entire being, using your eyes, hands, etc. This is called transparency. It is important to understand that healing, and all healing techniques, are ultimately performed with the entire being of the healer on the entire being of the patient. Cultivate this quality in yourself, as you learn and practice the specific techniques given in this level.

AURA CLEARING
It is vital to the health of the patient that the flow of energy in the energy field be free from interference or corruption from the stagnant, unhealthy and impure energies that can block its normal flow. If you have detected such energy impurities in the aura of your patient, they may be cleared out and removed from your patient’s field using a procedure known as aura clearing.
This technique is performed over the various areas of the body where these energy impurities commonly occur, as well as over chakras, when indicated. Aura clearing uses the hands, especially the fingers, so as to remove undesirable energies from the lower layers of the energy field.
While performing aura clearing, the hands are moved in a particular fashion—they are “drawn out” away from the body of the patient, removing the auric energy impurities from the field as they do so. This movement is done in a slow, deliberate manner—you must concentrate on the act during aura clearing. To clear away auric energy impurities that you have detected in your patient’s field:
Place your hand palm-down over the first area to be cleared, with the fingers spread a moderate amount (wider apart than during the passing-of-hands). The fingers should extend straight out, level from the hand, or perhaps be slightly pulled up above level. The hand, at the beginning of the drawing-out motion, is about 1 inch above the body surface (when clearing the first layer), and at the end of the motion perhaps 15 inches above the body, the entire motion taking approximately 5 seconds. The hands may then be relaxed, slightly so, so that the fingers slant slightly downwards, and the hand is returned to the starting position 1 inch above the body once again.

While performing the upward motion, visualize, intend and sense that the auric impurities are being removed. Your hand and its outspread fingers has its own auric field, which acts as an attractive device, or an attractive auric net, which detaches the harmful energies from the patient’s field, where they reside near the body surface. They “stick” to your hand (primarily the underside of the palm and fingers), and are released from the patient’s field by the upward motion. Apart from the body, they lose their charge, their ability to cling to the field of the patient. The impurities dissolve, become as dead, and have no further effect on the patient. As you perform the motion detailed above, feel the energy in your hand and fingers, feel the field around your fingers expanding and growing strong, and visualize, intend and sense it attracting, pulling and clearing away the undesirable energies as you draw your hand outwards. Separate and remove the impurities from the patient’s field using this motion in conjunction with your visualization ability. You may see, with your mind’s eye or physical eyes, the etheric field of your hand and fingers expanding and catching the undesirable energies, and removing them.
Repeat this motion as many times as necessary to clear the auric impurities away, over each area in which they occur—this will usually involve between two and ten motions and take between one and three minutes, depending on the quantity of energy impurities to be removed, at each location. Some healers like to “shake” the impurities off the hand, after the hand is fully drawn out from the body, before performing the next drawing-out motion.
Aura clearing is done using only one hand at a time. It may be done with the right hand in the beginning, if desired, as it is usually somewhat more effective at first, but with experience both hands will usually become equally effective at removing impurities. It is performed with the eyes open. Use this technique to clear away all areas of auric energy impurities that you have detected, one area or zone at a time.
This treatment will be required at various points all over the body. The energies you will clear are energies that have stagnated and may appear to you as muddied, thick, or discolored, energies that block the open flow of clear energy. These energies exist as zones or areas of stagnant energy accumulation near the body surface—they are attached to the body—yet will extend a short distance into the body and perhaps out into the auric field a short distance also. Performing the drawing-out motion as given above, however, with the hand beginning approximately an inch above the surface of the body, will remove such blocks, for the portions of the area or zone of stagnant energy that are just below or above the body are connected to the zone as a whole—it is one block—and will be removed as the entire block is removed. In other cases, energy impurities may exist some distance out from the body, yet be associated with and connected to areas of energy impurity near the body surface. In this instance, these outer energy impurities will also be removed as the block near the body surface is removed—perform the motion as usual.
You will find that aura clearing will also be required over specific chakras quite often to remove stagnant or discolored energies over them. The 7th, 4th, and 2nd chakras are particularly susceptible to these sorts of stagnant energies. When performing aura clearing over chakras, be aware that you may also be smoothing the energy flow in the chakra, as well as removing impurities. With some chakras you may detect what appears to be a poisoning, and you can correct this by drawing out the impurities and smoothing the flow at the same time. Draw the hands up over the chakra as if you were cleansing and smoothing the flow in a “funnel” of energy.

UNBLOCKING CHAKRAS
It is vital to the energetic health of the patient that the upward flow of energy through the chakra system, and the flow of energy into and through each chakra, be maintained. If you have sensed that a chakra is blocked—that the energy stops its normal flow at that chakra—it is possible to restore the healthy upward energy flow.
Unblocking of chakras is done during the normal round of hand positions—with the hands on the chakra in the same position, and at the same time, as regular hand placement. When you have detected a blocked chakra at a certain location, clear it in the following way:
As you lay the hands on that chakra point during the normal course of treatment, visualize the appropriate symbol (see the diagram) in the proper way during the full time you treat that chakra, and at the same time visualize, intend and sense that a blockage in the upward flow of energy is being removed—visualize the energy that is flowing upwards through the spine, at that chakra point, flowing through the chakra, the blockage in the chakra being removed as it does so. You may find it easier to visualize the symbol and the chakra clearing with your eyes closed, as you learn. With a little practice will be able to visualize in the proper manner with your eyes open, as you practice this technique, and this is to be desired.
The symbols are each related to a certain manner of energy flow, and this energetic nature of the symbols relates to the chakras in this way. The 1st, 2nd and 3rd chakras, for example, bear a relationship to the Circle in their energetic functioning. The 4th, 5th and 6th chakras bear a relationship to the energetic nature of the Trine. The 7th chakra bears a close energetic relationship to the Star. Accessing the energetic nature of these symbols (and hence that of the corresponding chakra) through visualization, combined with the visualization of the chakra clearing, provides the effectiveness of this technique—the energy flow through the chakra is cleared, and the blockage is removed.
If you have perceived that a blockage of the first chakra exists, it must be treated in a slightly different way, as placing the hands on the corresponding body area (the genital region) is not done. The hands of any person, however, are receptive channels for the body energy, and the patient’s hands may be used to treat this chakra. To clear the first chakra:
Place your hands on the patient’s hands, with each of your palms on a palm of your patient. As you send in the energy, visualize the Circle, and visualize—intend and sense—that the first chakra is being cleared. This will not be as focused a clearing as would be provided with direct hand placement, but will assist considerably.
As the diagram implies, the symbols are also associated with regions of the body as well. The Circle is associated with the abdomen below the diaphragm, the Trine with the area above the diaphragm up to the third eye, and the Star with the crown of the head. Visualization on the appropriate symbol during the laying-on-of-hands on supplementary areas may also be done. For example, when treating problems in the lower abdomen, you may, if you have sensed that it is appropriate, use a visualization of the Circle while placing the hands in supplementary positions after the usual chakra positions. Use of the symbols during treatment of positions other than blocked chakras will not be required on most patients, however, but if you sense it will benefit a particular condition you encounter, use it. It may interest you to know, also, that while one symbol predominates in each of these areas, elements of the others are also present.


AURA CHARGING
Although it does not occur in the majority of patients, energy depletion is a serious condition that inhibits the entire life process of the patient and makes the patient more susceptible to diseases and afflictions. It can also inhibit the effectiveness of whatever healing work is being performed.
This condition can be corrected through a procedure known as aura charging ,whereby the depleted energy field is “charged,” or replenished with energy. Whereas the usual conduction of energy into the chakras, during the laying-on-of-hands positions you have learned, does also add energy to the aura, aura charging is a more direct and specific way to supplement the energy content of the energy field itself, when it is depleted.
Although aura charging is not needed on all patients, there will be many patients that will greatly benefit, especially those with conditions that threaten the life energy (e.g. depression, cancer, AIDS, heart disease and many other serious conditions). You will find that it is commonly needed by those with serious illnesses, and will provide a re-energization and sense of well-being that is necessary for healing these persons. It is also useful for those who are just “run down,” and may prevent illness and induce well-being in these patients, too. To charge the aura of your patient:
Place your hands on the body in the successive positions shown in the diagram, beginning with the feet. In each position, the right palm is held over the lower end of the position, the left on the higher. In position 1, for example, place your right palm over the sole of the patient’s right foot, and your left palm over the top of the patient’s right knee.
Beginning with your hands in the first position shown, conduct energy into your patient, but transfer the energy in a slightly different way than usual. Transfer the energy in a more intense way, almost as if you are radiating energy into the patient and the patient’s field to create a bond between the two. Radiate the energy from both of your hands equally, and into the patient and their energy field. Sense yourself as the patient, and as the patient’s field, as it fills with energy. Visualize the bond between the patient and the patient’s field in this area, and visualize the field in this region filling, expanding with energy.
Transfer the energy into the patient, in this way, for one to two minutes, or until you get a sense of completeness and/or the energy flow diminishes. Now move to position 2—place your right palm on the sole of the patient’s left foot and your left palm on the patient’s left knee. Again transmit the energy, seeking to create a bond between the patient and their energy field while visualizing the field filling and expanding, in the same manner as before. Continue treating this second position until you gain a sense of completeness and/or the energy flow diminishes, yet also make sure that you sense a balance between this side of the patient’s field and the other side that you just treated.
After finishing treatment of this position, continue successively treating the patient in the positions shown in the numerical order above, at each position transmitting the energy in the correct way until you feel that that position is complete—each position should only require between 1 and 2 minutes of treatment, although certain positions may require a little longer, depending on your patient’s particular needs. When proceeding from one side to the other, as you move upwards, treat until a feeling of balance between the two sides is obtained—lead the energy up the body deliberately, and in such a way as it is balanced on both sides. The exact hand positions may be varied—some healers may prefer to add the arms, for example—but this is not usually necessary.
As you proceed up the patient’s body performing this technique, you will sense the patient’s aura charging, and may feel the energy radiating outward as it fills. You may see, in your mind’s eye, or with your eyes, the aura fill, brighten and expand. It is the intense transmission of energy to the patient in this way, while visualizing the bond between the patient and their field and the field of filling and expanding, which directs the energy to fill and charge the aura in this manner.
Localized Aura Charging:
It is sometimes found that only certain regions of the body will exhibit energy depletion. This is not a particularly common condition, but occasionally the extreme portion of the limbs—the lower arms and hands, and/or the lower legs and feet—display a condition of energy depletion, although the overall vitality of the field is not particularly low. This condition may be corrected with aura charging of that region only.
For energy depletion in the lower legs, charge from the foot to the knee (as in position 1 and 2 in the full procedure above), as well as from the knee to the hip joint, if you sense it is necessary. For energy depletion in the lower arms, charge each arm from the hand to the elbow joint, by placing your right hand palm-to-palm with the patient’s hand, and the other palm on the inside of the elbow joint. The arm to the shoulder may be charged on each arm also, if needed. The arms may also be included in this way in a full aura charging treatment, if you feel it wise, yet this is not usually necessary.

CORRECTION OF ENERGY FLOW
During your reception of psychic information and guidance, you may have detected an energy disturbance in the overall energy field of your patient. A global disturbance in energy flow is one where the entire energy field of the patient is disrupted and in which the overall energy flow in the aura is erratic and uneven. This condition is often of a transient (non-lasting) nature, but it is detrimental to the energetic health of the patient and can be treated using the Star on the 7th chakra in a specific manner. To correct the energy flow in your patient:
Sit or kneel at the head of your patient so that your shoulders are approximately at the level of the patient’s head. Facing the crown of your patient’s head in this way, hold your hands out in front of you such that your fingers are slightly curved, but with palms open, and with palms facing away from you towards the head and body of the patient. Place your fingertips on the crown of the patient’s head, your thumbs pointing down, palms facing directly towards the patient’s body (and away from you), but palms not touching the head surface. There should be about a two-inch gap between the fingertips of one hand and the fingertips of the other.

Now visualize the Star while sending energy towards the entire body of the patient. Energy will flow from your palms as well as from your fingertips, even though the palms are not contacting the body surface. While you are visualizing the Star and sending the energy, at the same time visualize, intend and sense a smoothing of the entire energy field into a harmonious flow. Try to merge with, and become, the flow of energy in the patient’s field, as you practice this position and this technique. “See,” in your mind’s eye, the energy correcting to a harmonious, even pattern throughout the field—become this smooth, even flow. Send forth the energy for 1 to 2 minutes in this manner as you perform this visualization of the Star and a smooth, even energy flow. Having your eyes closed may make this visualization easier to practice, at first, but you should then acquire the ability to perform this technique with the eyes open.
The Star has the ability to act as a channel to draw energy from a higher realm into this world. A visualization of the Star, combined with a visualization of a smooth, harmonious energy flow in the field of the patient, acts to focus this higher energy into the energy field of the patient, through the 7th chakra (which also corresponds to this higher realm), and provide a large and powerful correction of energy flow in the entire field.
Localized Correction of Energy Flow:
It is possible that an energy disturbance may be localized in a certain area of the body, rather than all over the body. Often, but not always, this will be located somewhere over the torso (between shoulders and hips). You may have detected this intuitively or visually. In this case, employ the hand position above, and while visualizing the Star also see, intend and sense, in your mind’s eye, the energy in that area smoothed and flowing evenly. Visualize yourself as merging with the energy flow that moves in an incorrect direction or unsmoothly, and then visualize the flow as moving the proper way. Perform the procedure on the entire body, but focus especially on the troubled area, by performing this visualization as you send forth the energy from your palms to the body of the patient.

ADDITIONAL TECHNIQUES
There are some additional techniques which you may also add to your treatment repertoire:
Becoming More Aware of Body Energies During the Laying-on-of-Hands:
As you treat your patient using the various positions during the laying-on-of-hands, it is good to begin to become more aware of the body energies of your patient. Now that you have had the second Chios attunement, your hands are more sensitive to energy flows. You will find that this is true not only during the passing-of-hands but also in the sensations you may have in your hands as you conduct energy into your patient during the various hand positions.
As you conduct the energy, you may find yourself becoming aware of delicate sensations in your hands, and may also receive intuitive information elaborating on the meaning of what you are experiencing. Irregularities of various kinds, as your patient receives the energy, may give you more information regarding the condition of their energy field. This, like all other methods through which you receive information on the condition of your patient, can assist you in learning and feeling the energies of the body, and guide you in your work. It is good to sense the body energy of your patient in this way during your use of the regular hand positions, and also during the supplementary hand positions detailed below. This will assist you, not only in learning more of each individual patient’s condition, but also in developing an overall knowledge of the energies present in the human body.
The Shoulder Position:
This position is performed while standing at the head of your patient, at the beginning of treatment:
Place your hands on the shoulders of the patient so that they are between the neck and the outer end of the shoulder. Conduct the energy for several minutes, allowing the energy to transfer, and allow yourself to relax and begin to bond with and sense the body energy of your patient.
This position may be performed at the beginning of treatment, if you wish to, because it has value in relaxing and creating trust in the patient, and attunes the healer to the patient’s body. It is not a necessary position for healing, but assists in this manner. It is a good starting position, especially if you have sensed that your patient is somewhat nervous or if you feel a little difficulty in beginning to bond with and sense the patient’s energy field.
Using the Star on the 7th Chakra:
You may, if you wish, use the Star while treating the 7th chakra, during the normal course of hand positions:
Visualize the Star while treating the 7th chakra during the regular round of hand positions. The 7th chakra, which corresponds to our total being, is powerfully cleared by using the Star in this way.
The Star represents a channel between the lower and higher worlds (including, but not limited to, our lower and higher self. To treat the 7th chakra in this way, through the use of the Star as a channel, acts to clear the whole spiritual being and spiritual process of the patient. The energetic nature of the Star is related to the nature of the 7th chakra, and adds to the effectiveness of treating this chakra and connecting the patient to his or her spiritual essence. Clearing it this way is a fine analogy for the whole healing process. This is an effective addition to your healing treatment.
Grounding:
This position is used to add energy to the aura, and in grounding the patient. It is refreshing and balancing to the patient, and in a sense may be thought of as a simpler version of aura charging, in that energy is added to the aura and the aura is balanced. While aura charging is only required on some patients, however, this position is beneficial to all—especially those who you sense are not fully grounded. Grounding is performed as follows:
Stand at the foot of your patient, as he or she lies on the healing table. Place your hands so that the chakras in your palms are centered above the minor chakras in the middle of the soles of your patient’s feet (your hands will rest on the soles). Now conduct the energy into the patient through the feet, visualizing the energy as coming up from the earth, into your body, and out your hands into the feet of the patient and throughout the patient’s body, filling your patient with energy. Sense and visualize a link between your patient and the earth as you do this.
This is a useful position because it brings extra energy into the aura, tends to balance the two sides of the aura, and creates a healthy link between the patient and the earth. It is particularly useful to employ this position on patients who are “ungrounded,” as this procedure also serves to ground the patient to the physical world.
Spine Cleaning:
There is a central energy channel that runs along the spine—an energy channel that leads the energy through the chakra system. This energy channel is, therefore, a very important part of the body energy system. Cleaning and purifying this energy channel is of benefit to the patient, and this is done through a position known as spine cleaning. Spine cleaning is usually performed at the very end of treatment, with the patient lying face-down. Perform it as follows:
Place your right palm over the rear component of the 2nd chakra, and your left palm over the rear component of the 5th chakra, and send energy into the patient through both hands. As you are sending the energy, visualize, “see” the energy traveling the spine, in both directions, washing up and down the spine. Each hand’s energy travels both up and down from that hand’s position, and where the energy meets it does not end, but continues on in both directions, washing and cleansing the central energy channel.
The spine cleaning is a radiating cleansing of the very important central energy channel, and is an excellent final treatment position.
Ending Treatment:
End treatment by standing for a moment and visualizing the energy flow stopping. See the energy flow shut down; quiet to stop the flow.Use, then, a very quiet visualization of the Circle to close the passing of the energy. It gives a sense of completion, to return to the starting point, and also pays homage to the circular flow of the universal energy.

VIEWING THE CHAKRA COLORS
As an advanced exercise, you may, if you wish, begin to attempt to view the colors of the chakras as an aid to further informing yourself of the condition of your patient. This is an optional step. It is not necessary to attempt to view the chakra colors to give an effective treatment at this level, yet you may find this an interesting technique to try.
As you know, each of the seven major chakras has an associated true color, from red for the 1st chakra, up to violet for the 7th. Chakras, when healthy, show a strong, healthy glow of their corresponding true color. Diseased chakras, however, display a discolored, faded, watery or streaked appearance. A chakra appearing this way is defective in its energetic functioning and in need of extra treatment. In diseased chakras, it is common for darkened areas to be visible, or colors or hues that are not appealing to the healer. As with the aura, healthy and appealing-looking colors indicate healthy conditions, and unappealing and unhealthy-looking colors indicate impurities and undesirable conditions. Begin to learn to see the chakra colors with the following technique:

While performing the usual hand positions on the front of the body, check the color of the chakras by observing, in your mind’s eye at first, the subtle color hue on the skin of the back of your own hand as you treat each chakra. The color, apparently reflected in your skin, will be from the patient’s own chakra field, and illuminates your skin to your subtle sight. This may be “seen,” while learning, by performing an intuitive reading: concentrate briefly on the skin on the back of your right hand (which is centered over the chakra) during the active phase, and then glance away (as when using the glancing technique to learn to view the aura) while releasing into the receptive phase. You may still “see” the skin on the back of your right hand, in your mind’s eye, yet may also receive an impression of color, either strong and fairly pure or weakened, darkened or discolored with impurities, on the surface of the skin on the back of your hand.
Look back then, at the top surface of your right hand, to attempt to confirm the color hue you saw in your mind’s eye, just as you do while practicing viewing the aura. The general tone of the chakra color, with any impurities or discolorations, will appear as a subtle yet discernible hue, to your mind’s eye at first, and eventually to your physical eyes also. You may not see the chakra color at first—it may require substantial practice. After practice, however, you may be able to view the chakra color directly, without looking away, as the chakra color effortlessly appears to your psychic sight. Colors other than the native color of the chakra may also appear—you will learn much more about colors in the chakras, and their meaning, in Chios Level III.
This is a good technique to incorporate into your treatments, if you wish. Briefly assess the color of each chakra as you treat it in the usual order. You will have impressions of chakra colors, perhaps including indications of impurity, as you move your hands to the different chakra positions. Those chakras that show a poor color hue should be treated with extra energy during hand placement to help restore their hue. You may be able to view changes in the hue, and work to restore it.
As you become more aware of chakra colors, you may also get information of this sort during your initial assessment of your patient during your reception of psychic information and guidance, or as impressions as you view the field. Be open to the chakra colors, and you will find that this information will come to you at various points during treatment. Combine all your assessments into a complete sense of chakra condition, and treat accordingly.

USING LIGHT IN HEALING
If you wish, you may begin to incorporate the use of light in your healing treatments. This is an optional addition—there are healers who do not use light but who nevertheless give very beneficial treatments. It is possible, however that you have already had the urge to use light. You may have even begun “seeing” the light as you have channeled the energy. If you feel it is natural for you to use light—if you feel an affinity for it—it is very beneficial for you to begin to use it in your treatments:
Begin by visualizing a cloud of light below your hands as you perform the usual chakra positions. The light may appear to your mind’s eye either as a pale white, or a pale light bluish-white light. Use whichever of these seems natural to you. See the light not as coming from the hands, but as a layer of light around your hands and a illuminated cloud of light below your palms, gently penetrating into the body of your patient. This will require proper visualization, seeing in your mind’s eye the pale light around and below your hands in this way, as you allow the energy to conduct. To visualize the light in this way adds to your power and ability to transfer energy in a beneficial way. Be sure to remain open to conducting the energy as you visualize the light—do both as one act.
You may use the light for other things, as well, if you feel comfortable doing so. Instead of seeing the light at each normal chakra position, you may begin by using the light while correcting certain energetic defects in the aura and chakras. To do so will lend greater effectiveness to the techniques you employ.
To seal leaks or tears using the light, for example, perform the technique as usual, but also visualize a brilliant layer of light just below your open palm, fusing shut and sealing the break as you move the hand over the damaged area of the field—like a surgeon using a laser.
To treat unblocked chakras using the light, perform the unblocking technique as usual, but also visualize the cloud of light below your palms and at the same time visualize the appropriate symbol composed of the light. See the light also, as the energy flow into and upwards through the chakra, as it becomes unblocked. See the light as the energy that would flow through a clear chakra, and visualize the chakra clearing in this way. To use the light in this way while seeking to unblock the chakra will increase the effectiveness of your treatment.
To correct disturbances in energy flow using the light , visualize the light flowing smoothly through the body, removing energy irregularities, while visualizing the Star composed of the light. See the light as the energy flow of the body, flowing smoothly and harmoniously. Should the disturbance in energy flow be in a local area, focus your visualization of the light into that area in particular, seeing the light as the energy flow of that area being restored to its proper, smooth flow.
You may find it easier to close your eyes, as you first learn to visualize the light in these ways as you lay on the hands and employ the various techniques, but after a little practice you should be able to keep your eyes open while using the light. Note that the use of light is not necessary during aura charging or when removing auric energy impurities.
You may use light visualizations at your discretion in your regular healing treatments. You may wish to use it at every chakra position, or save it for application during correction of energetic defects in trouble areas of the patient’s field. You may wish to employ it regularly at certain places, during spine cleaning, for example, where you may visualize the light washing through the spine. It is also especially beneficial and important to use light over diseased areas and affected chakras, as per suggestions given in the section describing disease treatments.
Using the light adds to the effectiveness of your conduction of the energy and to your correction of energetic defects. This is because the light can be thought of as a more refined form of the energy. As you visualize the light it has the effect of directing the energy—even more so than just visualizing the energy alone. When you visualize the light fusing shut a tear in the patient’s auric field, for example, the energy is powerfully directed in this manner to heal the break. Do not consider the light and the energy as separate entities—consider them as the same. The energy and the light are ultimately one.
Practice in viewing the chakra colors, viewing the aura, and using light in your healing work are excellent preparations for Chios Level III, should this be your interest.

TREATMENT OUTLINE—CHIOS LEVEL II
An outline of the treatment steps for a typical healing treatment using the Chios Level II techniques is given below. It is useful to print a copy of this outline and use it as an aid, when practicing and giving treatments. Keep in mind, however, that as you master the techniques you should also break free from rigid treatment steps and procedures and use your own intuitive sense and guidance in determining which techniques to use in each particular treatment. You should include or omit techniques, re-order techniques or even occasionally modify techniques per the particular needs of the patient and according to your higher awareness. Each patient and each healing treatment is unique.

PROCEDURES FOR DISEASE -- CHIOS LEVEL II
The following are suggested precautions and procedures for the treatment of patients with certain illnesses or other important conditions. They are all performed in addition to a full basic healing treatment procedure, incorporating them into the treatment in the appropriate locations whenever treating a patient with the particular condition. If you are comfortable using the light, you will benefit your patient by using it in these procedures, as it adds an extra power and effectiveness to the healing that is important in working with patients suffering from illness or disease.
Some of these procedures include advanced techniques. Should you have any future questions or require advice on the proper practice of the following techniques, use the support offered through this website to obtain assistance.
It is advisable for the healer, at the beginning of treatment, to inquire of the patient as to any medical or disease conditions present (including medications), and incorporate the appropriate procedures into a complete healing treatment.
Heart Disease:
Heart disease will often be indicated by a heart chakra that is blocked, has an unhealthy feel, or shows a large amount of discoloration. When treating a person with mild heart disease, proceed as usual. For a person who is on medication for heart disease, treat the heart chakra (4th chakra) last. If the person has heart disease in an advanced stage, treat the heart chakra last, and for an extended period of time (up to 15 minutes in some cases). Aura charging is almost always indicated for serious heart disease. The heart chakra may require unblocking and removal of auric impurities around it, as well as extra energy during hand placement.
For serious heart disease, especially coronary artery disease, you may now try the following advanced exercise:
Place all 10 of your fingertips lightly on the body surface over the heart, with fingers gently curved but without the palms on the body, and then visualize and draw energy from the entire body of the patient, into the patient’s heart. Draw and collect the energy there, as an electrifying flow from the entire body, the purpose being to charge the heart and heart chakra electrically to cleanse and strengthen. Maintain this for 2 to 3 minutes, and then draw your fingertips and hands up above the heart and away from the body outward, as if the fingertips were tracing the lines of a funnel away, and visualize the energy coming forth in this way from the body, cleansing the heart. Draw out the hands at least 3 or 4 times in this way, at a moderate speed. For those with serious heart disease, a course of treatments is necessary, and the patient should be treated every 2 or 3 days.
Hypertension:
Treat the hypertensive patient as usual, but always include correction of energy flow, and also treatment of both arms, one at a time, with your right palm on the inside of the elbow, left palm on the outside. After the arms, treat the hands, also, one at a time, by taking the hand and placing it between your palms, sandwiching it and sending in the energy for a few moments. Hypertension patients should be treated approximately twice per week, if possible.
Stroke:
There is no regeneration for the tissue damaged by stroke, but prevention of stroke, or further stroke, is possible, and it is also possible to assist stroke victims in their work to regain use of affected parts of the body. To treat or prevent stroke, after the basic treatment positions:
Ask the patient to sit up. Now place your hands on the shoulders, at the base of the neck, on the sides, where the neck and shoulders meet, and conduct the energy for up to 5 or 10 minutes. Treat both the arms and the hands, also, as detailed under hypertension, which is often present. Aura charging is indicated on all patients who have suffered a stroke. Auric impurities near the head and neck may require removal. Regular treatments are necessary.
Cancer:
Employ in your treatment unblocking and extra energy to chakras that may be related to the disease. These chakras may display an unhealthy feel, be blocked, show poor color hue, or draw extra energy during hand placement. Certain cancers will often correspond to diseased chakras, as shown, and these will require extra treatment. For some cancers, more than one chakra is given extra treatment, as shown:
• Brain Tumors: 7th chakra.
• Lung Cancer: 5th and 4th chakras.
• Cancers of thyroid, larynx, esophagus: 5th chakra.
• Breast cancer: 4th chakra.
• Cancers of stomach, liver, intestines, pancreas: 3rd chakra.
• Cancers of cervix, ovaries, uterus, colon/rectum: 2nd chakra.
• Prostate Cancer: 2nd and 1st chakras.
After treating the chakras, assist the cancer patient as follows:
Place your hands directly over the diseased area, or as close as you can, for an extended period (up to 15 minutes), varying the hand position 3 or 4 times during this period while maintaining the hands around the affected area. Varying the hand position, in this way, is more effective than keeping the hands in one static position. Some areas, e.g. prostate, colon and breast, may require that the hands not be placed directly on the area, in consideration to the comfort and modesty of the patient. In these cases, place the hands on opposite sides of the area as near to the area as comfortable, and vary the position as described. For breast cancer, for example, place the hands on opposite sides of the patient’s breast, for colon or prostate cancer place one hand on the lower abdomen below the 2nd chakra and one on the upper leg as near the genital region as comfortable. Auric impurities near the affected area may require removal, on some patients. Aura charging is almost universally indicated in serious cases. Sealing of tears and other damaged areas of the field will be needed often, especially for patients who have received radiation therapy. A positive attitude on the part of the healer is important, also.
For those patients who have cancer in danger of spreading, perform an intuitive reading of a body outline, asking for information on which areas of the body are susceptible to spread of the disease, and treat those areas. Seek to contain the disease in this way, in addition to treatment of primary affected areas. If you are accomplished with visualization, see any and all tumors shrinking as you conduct the energy, but be sure you maintain transparency and effortlessness as you do so. End cancer treatments by again treating the 7th chakra, and finally by grounding once again.
Patients with cancer will benefit from a treatment regimen that provides for very frequent treatments — even every day in serious cases.
Diabetes:
Always treat diabetics from the lower chakras upwards (start at the lowest chakra you usually treat, the 2nd chakra, when treating the front of the body, and move upwards, as you usually do in the back). Treat the pancreas by sandwiching it with the hands, one palm over the pancreas on the front of the body, one hand on the back of the body, while seeing the energy surround and energize the pancreas. Treat the pancreas, and the 2nd and 3rd chakras, for an extended period. Treat diabetics 2 times per week.
Neurological Diseases:
Treat from the lower chakras up, as with diabetics, and treat the 7th chakra for an extended period, using the Star. Treat any auric impurities or damaged areas around the head or neck. Treat 1 to 2 times per week.
Diseases of the Lungs:
After the first round of chakra positions, diseases or weaknesses of the lungs are treated by placing the hands in a specific position on the chest cavity, with the patient sitting, as follows:
Place your right hand on the front upper left side of the patient’s chest, below the shoulder and 2 to 3 inches above the left nipple. Place your left palm on a position on the patient’s back directly opposite your right palm. Maintain this position, sending the energy through the hands and into the chest cavity, into the left lung area. Once this is finished, treat the right side of the chest, the right lung, in a similar manner, placing your right palm on the front side and your left on the rear. After treating the right side, the heart chakra is treated again by placing the right hand over the front and the left hand on the rear of that chakra, and sending in the energy for several moments. Some critically ill patients will not be able to sit up, and this lung treatment may be conducted with the patient lying down, by placing the right hand as described, and placing the left hand under the body below the right, while treating the left and right sides. Place both hands, gently overlapping, over the front of the heart chakra, at the end.
Infectious Diseases or Infections:
Treatment must always be in addition to conventional medical treatment using antibiotics, etc. The patient under siege by one of these microorganisms will be weakened, and will require strengthening by the healer, including aura charging for all patients. Fever, when present, requires that the treatment be of shorter duration, half the usual time at each position.
Certain chakras may display an unhealthy feel, be blocked, show poor color hue, and draw extra energy during hand placement, requiring additional energy work, with certain diseases, as listed:
• Poliomyelitis: 5th Chakra
• Herpes: Chakra nearest affected area.
• Mononucleosis: 4th chakra. Arms also.
• Candida: 4th chakra, 3rd chakra, and 2nd chakra.
• Syphilis or Gonorrhea: 2nd chakra.
• Tuberculosis: Treat as under Diseases of the Lung.
• Pneumonia: Treat as under Diseases of the Lung.
Diseases of the Internal Organs:
For diseases of the kidney, liver, stomach, pancreas, gall bladder, intestines, etc., treat as usual, but spend extra time on the chakra nearest the affected organ. This related chakra will often give off an unhealthy feel, show poor color, be blocked, or draw extra energy during hand placement. This will often be the 3rd chakra, but it will be possible that the 2nd chakra may require attention as well (with the lower intestine, for example). Treat the diseased organ directly, also, by having the patient sit up, if possible, and placing the right palm directly over the organ on the front of the body, and the left palm on the back of the body directly behind it. Send the energy to the organ, with it sandwiched between your palms, for an extended period. See the energy penetrating into the body, between your sandwiched hands, to the affected organ. Treat 1 to 2 times per week, depending on severity.
Mental Disorders:
For patients with psychological disorders, it is impossible to predict the effect of treatment. You must proceed with caution. Treat the person for a short time, one-half or one-third of the normal treatment time per chakra, and note any effects. Proceed carefully.
For emotionally or mentally disturbed patients, perform a shortened treatment first, and then check with the patient, during a 24-hour period afterwards, to ensure no unsettling effects manifest. Should treatments prove safe, you will find that a standard treatment will benefit these persons. Should any chakras seem to require extra energy or display an unhealthy feel or poor color to their functioning, treat them with the energy for an extended period.
Disorders of the Ears and Eyes:
For diseases or conditions of the eyes, have the patient close the eyes, and place your hands over the eyes, one hand over each eye, with the palms over the eyeball. Send in the energy in this position.
For diseases or disorders of the ears, place your hands on the sides of the patient’s head, one hand on each side, with the palms over the ears. For patients with hearing loss or similar hearing problems, also treat the 7th chakra for an extended period.
Recovery From Surgery:
Treat the affected areas with extra energy, and also treat the chakras nearest the area affected for an extended time. Auric impurities near the affected area may require removal. This procedure, as part of a general treatment, is restorative and highly beneficial.
Care For the Dying:
For patients who are dying, treatment is still very beneficial. The conduction of the energy is a comforting measure. Seek to provide rest and comfort to the patient. Should any chakras in the chakra system have an “unhealthy” feel, show unhealthy color, or seem to require extra energy, treat all such chakras for an extended period. Treat the patient, in any way you intuitively feel is beneficial, or feel guided to do. The patient who is dying benefits from treatments twice a week.
Pregnancy:
Pregnant women must always lie on their side for treatment. You may alter the usual hand positions in such a way that you treat both components of the fourth, third and second chakras at the same time, if you wish. If you do so, center your right palm over the front component, and your left palm over the rear component. A mother who has given birth will benefit from a treatment after recovering the birth process, with extra attention to the areas of the lower abdomen affected, and 2nd chakra, but it is not necessary to also treat the newborn.
Colds and Flu:
For persons suffering from colds, passing viral illnesses, etc., you may give frequent treatments, but of shorter duration, one-half or one-third of the usual time on each chakra position. These short treatments are a tonic to the sufferer, but a longer treatment tends to tire the body.
AIDS:
During the standard treatment, it is important to impart a quality of stillness to the energy flow, feeling the stillness in yourself, and passing this on as the energy, instead of as an energizing force. Seek to strengthen the patient. There will usually be energy loss from leaks and tears in the auric field, all over the body and over chakras, and these should be sealed. Aura charging, to replenish energy, will almost always be required. Certain chakras will also exhibit an irregular or diseased energy to them, poor color hue, and will therefore require extra energy treatment for a longer period.
The patient will often possess a weakness of the lungs and chest, and treatment of the lungs, as detailed under Lung Diseases, should almost always be included. Complications are common, and they should be treated by placing the hands on affected areas, if localized. The AIDS patient should be treated 2 to 3 times per week, and may require even more attention if the disease progresses into more frequent and severe complications, and the patient weakens.
Burns:
When the hands may not be placed on the body, as with burned areas, the hands may instead be placed a few inches, up to 3 to 5 inches, above the burned area, and the energy will still transfer to the patient in good quantity, although it will not be quite as effective as when the hands lie directly on the body surface.
Broken Bones or Sprains:
Place your hands directly over the afflicted area in addition to normal treatment.
Children:
Treat children for one-half to one-third the usual amount of time at each chakra position. Children should not receive more than one treatment every 8 or 9 days, also.



INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the Chios Healing Level III (Chios Master Teacher). This level contains some very powerful and advanced techniques in energy healing.
As you begin your study of this level, you will benefit by receiving the third Chios energy attunement. Because this is the strongest attunement of all, it is of great importance that you be as pure and well rested as possible, in both body and mind, on the day of this attunement, so that you will receive the full benefits and will not experience any unnecessary side effects.
This third attunement elevates your energy channeling and energy sensing abilities to a very high level. It also accomplishes one other purpose: it gives you the inner ability to attune others. As a result of the attunement, and your study of the Chios attunement procedures (for in-person or distance attunements), you will be able to perform the attunement procedures used in the Chios system—the procedures you yourself have received and which open up the energy, color and light channeling ability of the healer. You will be able to attune and teach your own healing students. After this third attunement, however, there is a necessary 30-day settling period to allow your energy system to settle, after which you can begin to attune others.
One highly recommended adjunct to this third level course is the practice of the Chios meditation technique. It assists you in learning to contact the state of pure consciousness—the source of all your healing ability—and is also vital to your acquisition of the visualization, perceptual, intuitive and other abilities that are so beneficial for your successful practice of the powerful aura and chakra healingtechniques that you will learn in this level. It is impossible to overemphasize the benefits to you and your healing work that regular practice of this meditation will bring. That is why it is provided as part of the Chios system.
The Master Healer as a Channel For Pure Consciousness:
In the two previous levels you have learned to sense and conduct the energy, and have also perhaps begun to sense color and use light as you heal. You have learned to sense the aura in various ways, and have also begun to work with the chakras. In all your healing work you have striven for a unity—for a holistic perception and action—as you work with the energy field using the various perceptual and healing tools you have studied thus far. As you know, every part of the human energy field, as well as energy, color, light and every healing tool you use them with, are part of a greater whole—a whole that includes your entire being and the entire being of your patient. Healing takes place, and takes its cue, from this wider realm of pure consciousness.
In this level you will work extensively with the chakra system and the higher layers of aura, using a new series of powerful techniques. The chakra system is of tremendous importance to the entire state of being of each individual—it is the connection between the individual and the realm of pure being, the place of translation between the spiritual realm and the manifested world, where the powers and essence of spirit become available and have relationship with the worldly life. The chakras act as a “rainbow bridge,” as a series of receptors and transmutors of incoming energy/consciousness from the realm of pure being, each with its own color and its own domain of influence over the entire life process. They are not “objects,” or things that can be understood through the use of set ideas, but are each a way things work and a realm of being, and yet they all relate to each other, and are all one.
The higher layers of aura relate to the chakras—each layer of aura corresponds to a chakra, and like each chakra is a realm of being, a realm of existence with its own nature and function within the overall being of the individual. The condition of the chakras correlates to phenomena in the layers of aura, and both together—the energy field as a holistic entity in which each part actually affects and relates to all the others—reflects the entire relationship of the individual to the greater reality. The operation of the chakras and the layers of aura also affects the life experience of each individual—from the biochemical operations within the physical body to the spiritual perceptions that are possible, and everything in between. The field of pure consciousness is translated and brought into manifestation through this energy field, to support and govern the entire life process, at all levels.
The new healing tools you will learn in this level—powerful tools that can affect and enhance the operation of the chakra system and the higher layers of aura in extraordinary ways—will give you the ability to heal defects within this energy field of your patient. You will thereby not only treat the ultimate causes of whatever disease or affliction your patient may have, but also profoundly affect both your patient’s perception and potential life experience, as a result of your patient acquiring a purer connection to the essence of him or herself and to the entire creation. Your treatment of your patient, using these powerful aura and chakra healing techniques, may thereby also enhance your patient’s entire life process, on all levels, and assist in accelerating your patient’s spiritual evolution.
The reason that you will be able to effect such beneficial changes in the patient is that the chakra system, in conjunction with its relationship to the layers of aura, is a channel to the realm of pure consciousness—the realm of pure being in which not merely the ideal health, but also the infinite awareness and infinite higher potentials in each and every person reside. By healing defects in the energy field of your patient, you provide the opportunity for the patient to connect to this greater reality—to break free of the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual limitations which might otherwise remain.
Your own awareness and connection to pure consciousness is the tool you will use to effect these changes. As you know, it is your own openness, conscious awareness and development in consciousness that makes it possible for you to draw upon the knowledge and power contained in this field of pure consciousness, for the purpose of healing your patient. The various ways that you seek to heal your patient, as you draw upon this knowledge and power, work as an effect upon the consciousness of the patient—the healer heals and the patient receives healing, each with their entire being. Your work as a healer, therefore, is as a channel from the realm of pure consciousness and also to the realm of pure consciousness. The purpose of your healing work is to offer the opportunity for the patient to heal and advance his or her spiritual growth, and also for you experience the opportunity to come into greater contact with, and act as a channel for, this realm. Therefore, you also have the opportunity to likewise grow—the effect being an acceleration of personal evolution for all concerned.
Chios Level III will assist you greatly in this process and will quickly accelerate you toward becoming a master healer. As you become a master healer, you will seek to work directly with this realm of pure consciousness, not only in your patient, but also in yourself—the realm from which you draw your healing knowledge, the healing power, and the guidance from which you take your cue (and your awareness) as you heal. In your healing work, you will be a vehicle for this higher consciousness, as it works through you to enhance your patient’s connection to this universal reality. The master healer is a tool, a vehicle through which consciousness operates on itself, in certain ways, so as to effect healing and changes in consciousness in the patient. Each perception and action, on the part of the healer, as well as the healer’s use of each healing tool, also has this quality. You will come to realize that your role as a healer also facilitates your own growth process, and that your healing ability is dependent upon this growth. You will realize that you, your patient and your healing activities are all aspects of a unitary life process in which you are immersed. Your practice of the techniques you will learn in this course will therefore have great power to effect changes in consciousness in your healing patients, and you will also find that your learning and use of them will effect changes of consciousness in yourself.
In order to come into harmony with this true nature of healing work, you should recognize that you have this role of channel, and along with it certain responsibilities, as you heal. You should approach each healing treatment purely, free of all ego biases and in the expanded state of awareness you have begun to cultivate in yourself. In order to heal effectively using these tools, you must set your ego aside while healing. You should therefore heal in whatever way is best for your patient, according to the information coming from your own higher awareness, from your spirit guide or from the guide of your patient. All healing is ultimately performed by spirit, by this level of pure being, using the healer as a channel. It is important to realize that as a healer you must be a pure channel to this level of pure being as you work.
You should allow yourself to be guided, in your work, instead of being limited by your own mental ideas or preconceptions. The healer is an artist, not a mere technician. Begin to break free of all standardized treatment orders, pre-conceived content of healing treatments, and instead use all your tools, all your knowledge, and the entire power and perception of your consciousness to create the work of art that is each individual healing session. Although this third level contains many useful tools, and a general conceptual framework for their use, you must cut your own path and not be afraid to individualize your treatments as your individual patients require. It is inevitable, also, that you will encounter many situations not specifically described in the Chios healing levels, sometimes with patients who are seriously ill. You must therefore use your own judgment, your expanded consciousness and your ability to assess each unique patient as your ultimate authority in treatment. You must master all the healing tools given you, but must then move beyond all rules, to a wider realm—a realm in which your unitary conscious perception and action exist as a pure expression of the healing power of spirit and pure being. This is the process of becoming a master healer.

ENERGY, COLOR AND LIGHT
In the first two Chios levels you have worked primarily with the energy. You have learned, in them, to conduct the energy as well as sense it. In Chios Level III you will also make extensive use of color and light in your healing work.
It is important to understand that these three—energy, color and light—are not fundamentally different from each other. They are all the same fundamental idea in three apparently different forms; they are all emanations of the essence. It is as if the essence of reality—the essence of the being—exists at three different levels of vibration or radiation. Light is the highest and most refined, color is a slower vibration than light and energy is an even slower one. Although they may appear different, they are all fundamental manifestations, in the manifested world, of the realm of pure being, and so actually there is a unity. As with the use of energy, using color or light is to direct a manifestation of the essence, using your body or mind as a focus for it, as a channel. They do differ, however, in their method of perception and application.
The energy that you have sensed and conducted during so much of your healing work thus far works on a grosser level than color or light, yet it is more all-pervasive. Energy is found throughout the body, all around us in the atmosphere and permeates all living things and the environment in which they live. Color and light are also found in the human energy field—in the chakras and layers of aura—but they are more localized entities with a specific manifestation and meaning. They are successively rarer, more concentrated and refined entities, of a higher vibration, and their application, in healing, is similarly more topical—they are applied only in certain specific areas and in specific ways. This is not to say that color and light are less important than the energy, in healing work: they are actually successively more significant and refined manifestations of the essence, and are also more powerful. They are a more specific channeling, to the patient, of the power of healing that is present in the field of pure consciousness.
Energy --------> Color ---------> Light
Each step up, from energy to color to light, denotes a more refined state of the same basic form, an entity that works and is applied on a finer vibratory level. The light itself is a bridge to the essence.
In previous Chios levels you worked primarily with the energy, which may be likened to a life force in the body. The method of sensing this was tactile, using the passing-of-hands, although the intuition was also used. In this course, color and light, which have a more visual and radiant nature, are used, and they are sensed in a more “visual” way. You will make greater use of your power of visualization in your healing work using color and light—both in sensing these entities and in sending them. This is one of the many reasons that practice of Chios Meditation is highly recommended. The treatment steps you employed in Chios Level II will not be discarded—you will still treat your patient using the energy. You will, however, supplement your treatment with new methods that also make use of color and light—treatments of a more refined nature, which use these more refined entities.
Visualizing and Sending Color:
Many of the techniques that you will learn in this level will require you to visualize color, for the purpose of being able to sense and send it effectively. This ability to visualize color will be important to your perception and treatment of the chakras and layers of aura. You will be sending color to chakras or to other areas in need of treatment through the placement of your hands and especially through your use of the power of visualization to channel and direct the color. To properly use color in healing you must learn to visualize color, using the correct technique.
The first step in beginning to use color in healing is to become aware of the seven true colors—to learn to visualize them and become them. These colors, which correspond to the seven chakras, and the seven layers of aura or higher bodies, the patterns of energy that surround the physical body and make up the auric field, are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet, as you have learned. These colors are pure and unadulterated—the colors you would see in a rainbow, or in the spectrum of sunlight as dispersed by a prism. In healing, the healer uses these colors by visualizing them in their essence, by sensing them and becoming one with them. The following exercise will assist you in beginning to do this and in becoming familiar with the essence of these colors:
Sit comfortably with your eyes closed, and seek a calmness, a quietness in your mind. Imagine, in your mind, one of the true colors. Do not merely “think about,” or “pretend to see” the color, but try to sense and become the color, using the understanding and proper practice of visualization you have gained. Ask yourself, how does it feel to be that color? Feel the color in its purest state—as a true color—and then seek to merge with the color, feel your entire being sensing, moving into and becoming one with it. If you find yourself “pretending to see” the color, release the “visual” portion of your awareness of it, the portion of your awareness that “sees” it as a visual sensation. As you visualize the color, note the purity and begin to get a sense of the color’s being and power. Continue sensing yourself as the color for a few moments, and then end the exercise by stopping and resting for a moment, with your eyes closed.
Repeat this exercise with each of the true colors, and with each seek to gain a feel of each color’s purity, being and power. Note that it is as if each color has its own identity, and that the sense you get from red, for example, is different than that from green. As you perform the exercise with each color, though, do not try to differentiate between or sense any of the colors on the basis of any particular mental notion, such as vibration, for instance. The true colors are realms of being and cannot be understood purely on the basis of particular ideas but must be visualized and experienced in their essence.
Begin to gain a knowledge of all the colors. It is very important that you have a knowledge of these colors in your mind — you must be familiar with the true essence of each color. You must learn to know them and become them, and this is done by bringing out the knowledge and sense of the color that you already have inside yourself.
After you have practiced sensing and becoming the true colors, it is time to combine your visualization of the colors with your visualization of the Chios symbols. Many of the techniques you will learn in this course require that you visualize colors in the proper way as you treat your patient, and at the same time visualize a Chios symbol. This is done so that the color-channeling ability that your color visualization activates will be magnified by the essential power inherent in the Chios symbol, so that in certain applications of color you will have even greater power and effectiveness as you treat your patient using the Chios Master techniques. You will use, in many of these techniques, a symbol in color from the basic progression, a series of the Chios symbols in color each of which represents that color and which corresponds to a particular chakra and a particular higher body, or layer of the aura. These symbols in color begin with a Red Circle and ascend upwards to a Violet Star, as shown in the table below:


The following exercise will provide practice in the proper visualization of the symbols in color:
Sit comfortably with your eyes closed, and seek a calmness, a quietness in your mind. Now, at random, select a colored symbol from the basic progression. Visualize the symbol, in color, in your mind’s eye, using proper visualization technique. As in the orange-red ball meditation, combine your sense of the feel and presence of the color with your sense of the shape of the symbol, sensing both together as a single object of this shape and color, sensing and becoming the symbol in color. Do not attach any meaning or mental ideas to the symbol in color, “think about” it or “pretend to see” it, but visualize, become the symbol in color for a minute or two, then select at random another colored symbol from the progression. Continue for about 5 or 10 minutes, employing all the colored symbols one or more times, in random order.
This ability to visualize symbols in color will be used in various places in the Chios Level III techniques, and it is beneficial that you begin practicing the above exercise, at various times throughout the day, in preparation. It is not necessary to employ the symbols when visualizing color—you can perform all the powerful techniques given in Chios Level III by merely visualizing the color itself—but as a focus for energy using the symbols will add much power to the practice of the techniques and is included for this reason. Practice in visualizing the colors will also assist in preparing your “psychic sight” for viewing the colors of the aura layers.
The above method of color and symbol visualization is the one that is recommended and that will be effective for the large majority of persons, but it is possible that you may find it more appealing to visualize a white light-colored symbol against a solid colored background (a background that is the color required). As an alternative, this method is basically the same, and accomplishes the same purpose. If absolutely necessary, it may be used, instead, with all of the following course techniques.
You will use this visualization of symbols in color for two things: 1) to place yourself into a certain color—a certain higher vibratory rate—for the purpose of sensing and viewing the corresponding higher layers of aura, and 2) to send color for the purpose of treating and healing the chakras and higher layers of aura. When using visualization of the symbols in color for the purpose of viewing the higher aura layers, you will simply visualize the appropriate symbol in color, using your third eye chakra to visualize and become the color, while employing a special technique you will learn. This enables you to “see” in the color, to sense in its realm of being, and thereby see the corresponding aura layer.
When sending color using color visualization, you will usually send color to a selected chakra and/or higher aura layer in need of treatment. When doing this, you will visualize a symbol in color, using your “third eye” and the powers of visualization as you practiced in the exercise above. At the same time you will visualize the true color as a cloud of color surrounding your hands. Do not see the color as coming from the hands, but surrounding them—as a cloud of color around the hands and a layer of color below them—the color gently penetrating into your patient or the patient’s energy field. This will enable you to “be in the color” and then send the color into your patient in an effective way.
It is possible and beneficial to practice the visualization of symbols in color with your eyes open, as you will be able to do after some practice, but you may wish to close your eyes while learning. After a little practice, you will easily be able to visualize them with your eyes open. You will find it beneficial to keep your eyes open as you employ visualization of symbols in color in the various techniques in which it will be used, as you treat your patient.
You should know that, although we name and use the colors, their corresponding chakras and corresponding higher bodies, and ascribe to each a general function or involvement in the being, and treat them separately, they are not to be thought of as completely separate entities. They are merely a way to describe and work with the total being, and actually all work together. A human being is the chakras and higher bodies, as well as the physical body, as one organism. It is one being.
Using Light:
You will use light a great deal in this level, especially in situations where a fine or specific direction of healing power is required. You may have already begun using light in your healing work in addition to the energy. As a portion of Chios Level II you may have begun using the light when performing the usual treatment positions at the chakras, when unblocking chakras, or when treating specific diseased areas. This is done by visualizing a layer of pale white or slightly bluish-white light around and below your hands. When visualizing this light, you must be sure to use proper practice, visualizing it in your mind’s eye as a cloud of light surrounding your hands, bathing the hands and gently penetrating into your patient. Do not visualize the hands as the source of the light—“see” the light, in your mind’s eye, not as coming from the hands, but as a cloud of light around the hands, and as a layer of light below them, gently penetrating into your patient. As you know, you may see the light as a pale white, or as a pale, light bluish-white, as you feel is best for you. It may appear to you in either way.
You may have begun using the light for other things—to lend greater power to the specific techniques you use to correct other energetic defects in the energy field of the patient. The light can be used when sealing leaks or tears, when clearing blocked chakras or when correcting disturbances in energy flow, as was covered in Chios Level II. The light can also be used in any other procedure that uses the energy, in fact, because they are one and to use the light lends greater direction and power to specific applications. To direct the light, and thereby affect and direct the energy is a more powerful and advanced way of using the healing energies that come from the hands.
From this point on, the use of light will become important in your healing work, and will be used in many such additional ways, especially in the treatment of disease. In treatment of disease, you will visualize the light treating specific areas in the body. You will treat the patient using the placement of hands, yet with specific visualizations to direct the light (and energy) in a powerful and specific manner. This is done by visualizing the light as surrounding and suffusing the form you are treating, so that it follows the form of the body or anatomical region requiring healing. When treating a diseased organ, for example, the light is visualized as a cloud of light, a layer of light surrounding the organ like a second skin.
The proper visualization of light serves to focus and direct your healing powers to the areas that need it most, and is a powerful technique because when sending light to a specific organ or area in the body through visualization, you are also directing the energy to that location — because ultimately the energy and light are the same thing. Yet light is a finer application, and the direction of light, through visualization, is a more powerful technique, because energy follows the light and the light follows thought.
When performing the various light healing techniques, as with all healing practices, it is essential you strive for transparency in your treatment technique. You must not be self-conscious, but must be aware of and becoming one with the field you are treating, an open channel for the energy, color or light, and must, at the same time, visualize the light in the proper way, sensing and becoming the color or light around your hands, and not just seeing it as if with your physical eyes. There has been a progression, from Chios Level I, where you simply opened yourself to the energy, to Chios Level II, where you began to visualize the light around the hands, to now, where you will learn to direct and focus the light in specific ways through visualization. It is important that you be sure to maintain the transparency, the openness, as you direct the light/energy, so you must practice focusing and directing the light without effort—it is an effortless visualization—so that your full being participates in the healing to be done, yet without effort.
When the person you wish to treat is at a distance, and not in front of you, you may send the light directly with the mind alone, without the hands. To send light to a patient at a remote location, for example, one visualizes the light surrounding the entire body of a patient as a layer or cloud of light. This serves to direct healing energy to that person, even if he or she is a great distance away. This use of light to treat the patient at a distance may also be used on a specific chakra, internal organ, or area of the body in need of treatment. This is effective treatment, yet not quite as effective as when the patient is in front of you with your hands on the patient’s body. When sending light in this way, do not visualize sending the light, but merely “see” the light at the desired destination. The light does not have a path in space-time; it is visualized at the location desired, surrounding the object of treatment. It also lends greater power to the distance light treatment to localize its application—sending it to a particular chakra or diseased organ, for example, will be more specific and will more powerfully treat the organ or chakra than just sending the light to the overall body of the patient.
These uses of light are effective to the degree that you have mastered the ability to visualize properly. To direct healing power using light is a central tool of the healer and the further you advance in your visualizing ability, the greater will be your power in light healing. This use of light in healing will be discussed further in the sections on distance healing and disease treatment.
VIEWING THE SEVEN AURA LAYERS
In Chios Level II you were introduced to the practice of learning to view the aura. The aura, as you know, is composed of the seven layers, or higher bodies, which usually become successively more difficult to see as one proceeds to the higher, more refined layers. You began by viewing the first layer, the one that is closest to the surface of the body, and then opening yourself to the second layer, with its colors. As you began, you first used the intuition technique, with its alternation between active and receptive principles, as a learning tool to allow impressions to form in your mind that assisted you in gaining physical sight. This was effective at helping you to learn to see, because the aura is seen first with the mind’s eye, and then with the physical eyes. It is true, however, that ultimately there is a unity between intuitive and physical vision of the aura, and that the aura is actually seen with the physical eyes in conjunction with the mind’s eye. The two are really the same.
In Chios Level III you will again use this basic technique, but with some important additions and refinements. You will make one important addition to this technique that will assist you in learning to see the higher layers of aura: you will use a Chios symbol in color, from the basic progression, to “be in” that color, and this will enable you to become more attuned to the corresponding layer of aura. You will, during the active phase of your practice, concentrate on the symbol in color as well as on the area around your subject’s body where the aura layer would be, and then release into the receptive phase and allow impressions to form in your mind’s eye, and eventually see the layer with your physical eyes. You will use an orange circle, for example, to make it easier to focus in on and see the 2nd layer (the emotional body). You will use a yellow circle to make it easier to see the 3rd layer (mental body), and so on.
A refinement to the basic intuition technique that you must also employ, when using this technique to learn to view the higher layers of aura, is to practice the “active principle” phase of the technique in a more effortless way. In your practice of this technique during your last course you may have used some effort in the “active principle” phase of the technique, when “concentrating” upon the area around the body, before glancing away to allow impressions to form in your mind. This was necessary to begin to train your mind to stay on one object or area of awareness—to fix your gaze on the area around the body, for example. By this time, however, you should have become very used to this basic technique, and also have had substantial experience with visualization, and less effort should be necessary for you to concentrate on the area around the body, or on the correct Chios symbol in color.
In its true meaning, “concentration” does not actually imply effort, but the ability to localize the awareness. In viewing the aura, for example, using the glancing technique, you should be able with little or no effort to localize your awareness for a brief instant on the area around your subject’s body, while at the same time effortlessly visualizing the necessary symbol from the basic progression, before glancing away and releasing into the receptive phase. It is also important to understand that as you become proficient in the intuition technique, you will no longer need to consciously go through the steps when using it. You will be able instinctively to obtain psychic information and “see” the aura. The description of this technique, in terms of active and receptive phases, is simply a description and training aid; as your technique refines, you will no longer need to think of it in these terms.
During your practice in Chios Level II, you probably already began to see a light gray, light blue or colorless “haze” surrounding the body. You are probably able to see this haze with your eyes and without using the glancing technique, given the proper environment and a “soft” gaze. This is the first, or etheric layer, very close to the body surface. Continue your practice, as detailed in Chios Level II, and allow the colors to come. You may gaze at the shell around the body during the active phase, and then release, look away, and your mind may think blue! You may see disturbances that have a color, form and movement, but you will not see them as with the physical eyes. You may look back, and not see color with your physical eyes yet, but trust the perception—the impression will take shape in your mind’s eye if you allow it. Learn to trust these perceptions, and you will realize that you have often seen more than you realized. You may, then, with your mind’s eye first, and then perhaps with the physical eyes, begin to detect the colors of the emotional body, which extends to several inches above the body surface. When you have begun to detect the colors, your are ready to employ the following additional technique to begin viewing the higher layers.
Viewing the Higher Layers:
Learning to view the higher layers of aura is a step-by-step process, one layer to the next. Each layer will probably be more difficult to see than the one preceding it. After beginning to view the colors or gaining good impression of them, begin to practice the following exercise for viewing the higher layers:
In an environment where the lighting is neither too bright nor too dim, and against a neutral-colored background, concentrate (localize your awareness) within the shell-shaped area around your subject’s body where the emotional body would be (within 4 to 5 inches of the body surface). Do not focus on the physical body, but sense the body yet negate it. Simultaneously visualize the orange circle (from the basic progression of symbols given earlier), using correct practice. You must, at the same time visualize the symbol in color, become the symbol in color, and also localize your awareness on this area in this specific way. Use your active mind in this way, for a brief moment, and then release, look away, and avert your eyes (still open) to another empty area of space off to the side.
Allow yourself to become aware of what your mind’s eye perceives. As you know from your practice of visualization, your mind’s eye can perceive even with your physical eyes looking upon something entirely different at the same time. What do you see in your mind’s eye? Give yourself a brief moment for an impression to form. Repeat the glance again, and look away, and repeat again over and over, releasing yourself to whatever your mind’s eye may perceive in the receptive phase. It is with this repeated glancing, using proper practice, that an impression will form in your mind’s eye, and it will require repeated practice for more than a general impression to form. As has been described, it is a bit like looking into a room, briefly, and then looking away — after some number of rapid glances, you will begin to get an impression of the room, and notice more and more detail. You should realize that the impression you get may not immediately register to your conscious mind—the gaining of an impression begins as a “subconscious” process, a collection of impressions.

What do you “see” in your mind’s eye? When you do get some impression of colors or patterns, bring your gaze (still in receptive, “soft” phase), back to your subject’s body, and see if your physical eyes will begin to register anything of the impression in your mind’s eye. Gaze at the area around the patient’s body, the open space surrounding the area near the body surface (where the particular layer of aura should be) with a de-focused and very diffuse gaze (especially for the higher layers). Can you see any hint of what your mind’s eye perceived?
After you have gained a good impression in your mind’s eye of the 2nd layer, and after you have begun to see that layer, it is time to try to view the next layer up. Each layer will extend to a level of approximately 4 to 5 inches above the maximum extent of the previous one. As you employ the technique above, you will therefore visualize the shell-shaped area around the body (sensing the body, yet negating it) up to whatever layer level you are attempting to see—the layer will exist at the surface of the body up to and including the upper limit. To begin to see the 3rd layer of aura, the mental body, for example:
Visualize the yellow circle and the shell-shaped area from the body up to about 8 to 10 inches above the surface, and then glance away into the receptive phase to allow impressions to form in your mind’s eye. Then look back, with your physical eyes in a very relaxed and de-focused gaze, to attempt to confirm your impressions.
After gaining some view of the 3rd layer, you can proceed to attempt to gain some impression of the 4th layer, or astral body:
Visualize the green trine and the shell-shaped area up to and including a little over a foot above the body surface, glancing away in order to gain impressions in your mind’s eye, and then looking with your physical eyes (with a diffuse, de-focused gaze) at the area within a foot to a foot and a half above the body surface. Use a very relaxed and de-focused gaze, to attempt to confirm your impressions. After gaining some view of the 4th layer, continue with this same technique to the higher layers.
As you move to higher layers, you will need to employ a slightly more and more de-focused gaze, and will also have to stand farther back from the body of your subject—up to six feet or more for the higher layers. Do not forget, also, that the layers interpenetrate—the phenomena you see in the astral body, for example, will show as phenomena at the body surface and then all the way out to a foot or so from the surface of the body, and may occupy the same area in space as phenomena at lower layers. It is not physical distance from the body alone that defines the layers, but differences in the energetic characteristics—different vibratory rates. Each layer corresponds to a different realm of the being of your subject—a realm that has its own characteristic vibration and unique nature.
This technique works because effective visualization of the colors, using the symbols, raises your vibratory rate so that the corresponding body—the corresponding layer—will come into view. When your vibratory rate is thus increased, you are able to send or sense energy on that level, you are “in” that color and able to sense this layer of aura because you have raised you vibratory level to a point where you are able to perceive phenomena at this higher level. This technique will not only increase your ability to learn to view that layer, but will also “highlight” that layer to your vision so that its contents may be seen more clearly, like a filter, although other layers may be seen at the same time. When practicing this effective technique for viewing the higher layers, however, do not think of it as a process of “raising your vibratory rate,” simply sense and become the symbol in color and do not attach this mental interpretation to the process—to do so will inhibit and limit the effectiveness of this technique. Just “be in” the color, using the proper symbol in color, and then seek to view the layer with a relaxed, de-focused and diffused gaze.
The Appearance of the Aura Layers and Phenomena Within Them:
Each layer has its own characteristics and general appearance, as you will see. The 1st layer will become visible, usually as a light blue or colorless layer, surrounding the surface of the body at a distance of one or two inches or so, which may deepen to a medium blue after some practice. You have almost certainly already seen this etheric layer during your practice of Chios Level II. This body also includes the energy pattern on the surface of and within the physical body—it is an energetic mirror of the structure of the physical body and is the pattern upon which it is based.
The 2nd layer of aura, or emotional body, is composed of clouds or areas of color—usually indefinable shapes of variable color and size. These multicolored clouds extend to 4 or 5 inches above the surface of the body and are usually in a condition of constant flow, change and movement. These moving colors usually have some correspondence to the psychological state of the patient and/or the life experience or the activity in which the patient is engaged. Impurities that may exist in the energetic functioning of this layer generally appear as discolored, muddied, smeared or streaked colors or patterns which are unhealthy-looking.
Generally speaking, colored energies appearing in the 2nd layer (and in the other layers of aura) that are bright, clear and that have a sense of “health” to them represent healthy aspects of the operation of the energy field—aspects related to the character and personality of the individual. Healthy colors will be appealing and appear vibrant and radiant. Harmful or unhealthy auric phenomena will have a discolored, muddied, smeared or streaked appearance, and the color will be unappealing—it will seem, feel and look unhealthy. These unhealthy energies are ill conditions—energetic defects which can result from depressed functioning of the energy field or from unhealthy influences which have spread from other aura layers or from chakras.
Often you will find that a patient with disease or unhealthy conditions will show colored energies that are a dark brown or brownish red or, if less pronounced, this brown will appear as a very dusty yellow. Black energies, or, if the black influence is less pronounced, a dirty gray or dirty silver color, are also often present. These diseased colors will infuse into healthy colors—making them appear unwell—or will streak, smear or discolor these regions. Such diseased colors look unwell. The intensity with which these unhealthy and unappealing colors appear is an indicator of the degree of sickness of the individual—the more intense and easily noticeable the ill-appearing colors are, the more detrimental the energies have become to the patient’s energetic health.
The 3rd layer of aura, or mental body, primarily appears yellow in color, to the eye. In actuality, it is not composed of yellow light but has a radiance which makes it appear light yellow or golden. This layer does not have clouds of color, like the 2nd layer, but has a shell-like shape, similar to the shape of the body yet less-defined, which exists about 8 to 10 inches from the body surface. This layer, like the 1st layer, also exists as an energy pattern which exists on and in the physical body, and which mirrors it. Impurities in this layer are indicated by the same sort of darkened, discolored, smeared or streaked colors which have been described as under the 2nd layer, but these colors are very light and fine—they are barely noticeable in the light yellow-gold radiance of this layer. This 3rd layer often displays some of the same colors as the 2nd layer, and yet these colors are very fine and light, and the light yellow-gold radiance that shines through all makes them more difficult to see.
The 4th layer of aura, or astral body, is similar to the 2nd layer, in that it is composed of multicolored clouds. The colors in these areas or clouds are finer, paler and lighter, however—they are dimmer and harder to see—and they exist in an area up to and including approximately a foot to a foot and a half above the surface of the body. These multicolored clouds, like those of the 2nd layer, are always in motion, and are similarly connected to the psychology and life experience of the subject. Impurities in this layer present themselves as unhealthy-looking discolored, muddied, smeared or streaked colors or patterns, as have been described above. Because this layer and its colors are lighter, however, impurities will generally appear lighter and finer to the eye.
The 5th layer of aura, or etheric template body, primarily appears as a deep blue radiance to the eye, a radiance that is not as bright, however as that of the 3rd layer. It has an overall shape that is like an eggshell, although it is not as large nor wide an eggshell shape as the 7th layer, existing at a level of perhaps two feet above the body surface. This layer also, like the 1st and 3rd layers, exists as a pattern that mirrors the surface and inner structure of the physical body. This layer is a vibrational mirror for levels above and below—its eggshell shape mirrors the vibrational structure of the 7th layer, and its body-like structure, as a higher vibrational template for the physical body, mirrors the physical body. Impurities in this body exist, not as darkened or sullied colors, but as disturbances of vibration. They are not of the nature of variations in radiance or subtle color hues therein (as in the 3rd layer), nor are they textural changes in the quality of light (as in the 7th layer, described below), but are vibrational disturbances particular to this layer which you will sense in a manner analogous to a sound or feeling that is disharmonious and is expressed as a disturbance in the pitch of vibration.
The 6th layer of aura, or cosmic or celestial body, appears as multicolored softly flowing streams and soft streaks of light emanating from the center of the body in all directions. This layer has no clouds of color, nor eggshell or bodily shapes, but only consists of these streams and gentle streaks alone. Impurities in this layer are indicated by discolored, muddied, smeared or streaked regions or infused areas within these multicolored streams, but such impurities are very difficult to see—they are usually quite dim and not always visible.
The 7th layer of aura, or ketheric body, appears as a fine, transparent eggshell, with a soft glowing light that may appear bright or golden to your psychic sight and your eyes. This layer is approximately three feet, or a little more, from the body surface, and, although appearing as bright or golden light, is actually composed of a light that contains all the colors in its true nature. Impurities in this layer manifest as spots, zones or areas which display a change in texture—not any significant change in the color or intensity of the light of the shell, but a roughness and a change in the quality of the light of the shell. The 7th layer of aura and the manner of treating it will be described in more detail later, in the section on 7th layer healing.
Work your way up, from one layer to the next, to bring all the layers into view. This will take time and practice. At first, it is normal to begin to see only the first few layers with the physical eyes. You may, however, begin to get intuitive impression of the appearance of whatever higher layer you are attempting to view, prior to getting visual confirmation of it with your physical eyes. This intuitive impression will nevertheless be very useful in your healing work. It may take years of practice to gain a physical view of all seven layers of aura.
As you begin to learn to see the aura, the overall appearance of that you are able to detect may be one color predominantly, but as your practice progresses you will begin to see many colors interspersed. As you advance in your practice you will see several layers outward, each layer displaying a different shade or shades, almost in the shades of a rainbow, and these will be very fine perceptions. You might, therefore, perceive an individual’s aura and say at first glance that it appears blue, and then notice bands of green in one area, and streaks of red and yellow in another, and as your perception of the layers refines you will see the rainbow of layers outward from the body and it will be difficult to say where your first overall perception of blue had come from.
In your treatments, you may perform your viewing of the aura and its levels immediately after your intuitive reading of the auric field, or instead of it, depending on what is best for you. If you perform both techniques, remember that they are not really separate techniques, but that you are proceeding through a continuous method of learning to sense, and of gaining and progressively refining information regarding the health of your patient. It is good to eventually acquire the ability to see the aura and its levels directly with the physical eyes. You may practice seeing the aura not only with your patients during scheduled treatments, but also throughout the day, as well, using the glancing technique. Often practice at random intervals throughout the day, instead of a disciplined regimen, is the most effective approach of all at learning to see the aura. This approach is highly recommended.
It is also wise to employ the intuition/aura viewing perception at various places during your treatment, as required. This may be done all over the body, or you may focus on certain regions of interest. As an aid to learning, it is wise to attempt to view with the eyes that which is sensed intuitively in the field.
Interpreting the Meaning of Phenomena in the Higher Auric Layers:
When viewing the aura prior to treatment, you will also find it helpful to ask for information on the meaning of the phenomena that are sensed in the layers; that is, to do an intuitive reading requesting further information on whatever phenomena you experience in the aura. This is especially important when you encounter impurities on the various layers. You may get information, for example, on disease conditions (either currently manifesting or conditions which could manifest in the future as a result of energetic conditions present). You may get information pertaining to present or past life experiences which correlate to phenomena in the aura, psychological issues in the patient which correlate with the phenomena, how the impurities or other phenomena relate to conditions on the other layers, etc. All of these will be helpful to you as you plan the course of treatment and work with your patient.
Seeking to obtain this information, in the form of pictures, sounds, a “felt sense,” or in other forms of information or guidance, will greatly increase your knowledge of your patient’s condition. It is possible to learn to “see” all these things, as you view the aura—your focus upon whatever energetic phenomena you are evaluating serving to localize your awareness, and then place you into a state of receptivity whereby these pictures or other forms of information occur as you view. Your consciousness, “tuned” to the higher vibratory levels, is able to access this information—to sense emotions, view thoughtforms, or “see” important past life experiences. You will see structures, moving patterns of energy and impurities within the field, and learn to “see” pictures or otherwise receive further information on them, at the same time.
It should be noted that, as you proceed to higher layers of aura, the fourth and beyond, it will not only become more difficult to see these higher, more refined, levels, but will also be more difficult to “understand,” with words or ideas, what you may be seeing. While sensing the second or third layers of aura, for example, might result in seeing emotions or thoughtforms which inform you of their origin within the patient’s psychology, sensing the fifth or sixth layer may not result in information which allows you to “put a finger on” the meaning or source of whatever energetic phenomena are observed. Although the “cause” of these higher energetic phenomena may not be understood with words, it is nevertheless possible for the healer to get some sense of the meaning of whatever is perceived on these higher, more spiritual levels, as well as what relationship it may bear to structures on the lower levels of the patient’s being—an understanding will emerge in your awareness, at a deeper level.
As you work to perceive these higher layers, and their meanings, the layers and the phenomena within them are sensed more in a “felt sense” way—in the same way that sounds at lower frequencies can easily be heard and understood and then as the frequency is raised to near and somewhat beyond the perceptual range of the human ear the sound is actually “felt” slightly—so will your perception become more delicate and refined as the higher levels are sensed. The vibration shifts to a progressively higher level, as one ascends to perception of the higher bodies, and becomes finer and less discernible to living human beings—it becomes a finer vibration, with finer perceptions. Perception, understanding and treatment of phenomena on the lower layers of aura deal with grosser distortions of energy in the auric field layers, but perception and understanding of energies on the higher layers involves a finer and more delicate perception and understanding—one that takes place in the higher awareness. It is important to understand, however, that these delicate energetic phenomena on the higher layers are vitally important, and have an all-pervasive meaning and influence on the patient and upon all lower layers of the energy field.
Much has been written about color in the aura—that is, the supposed meaning of certain colors as they appear. While it is true that sometimes certain colors mean certain things, in practice there is no set and reliable system of interpretation for these colors, as they appear on different layers and in different locations in the energy field—they often mean different things. It is suggested, though, that when certain colors appear within the energy patterns of the aura that you sense are important, that you ask for information on the meaning of the colors. Information, in the form of pictures, sounds, a “felt sense” or in other ways, will often inform the healer of the meaning of certain colors, as they are observed, and also provide details regarding the source of the phenomena. Usually it is not the color itself, but the purity, tone, hue and brightness of the various colors which appear that holds importance.
To see the aura in its entirety, with the physical eyes, will take a great deal of time. Begin to see the aura intuitively, with the mind’s eye, and you will detect everything that you imagine you should see with the eyes, and you will also begin to get a real understanding of the meaning of what you see. There is no difference between seeing intuitively and seeing with the eyes, nor between sensing the aura layers and knowing the meaning and significance of what is on them—all are part of the same unitary process of holistic perception. Release your notion of what seeing and feeling is like and you will be able to see and feel. Complete release and openness is the key to achieving perception and knowledge of the aura and its layers—you must be as one floating on water.
Healing Treatment as a Process of Conscious Restoration of the Health and Integrity of the Energy Field—The Principle of Healing:
In your examination of the aura and its levels, you visualize, “see” in your mind’s eye, these levels and the phenomena and impurities on them. This is not merely a process of viewing with the physical eyes, but especially a process of conscious awareness—the aura levels, and the phenomena and impurities on them, like all perceptions of the healer, are seen first and foremost with the deeper awareness and entire being, although physical vision usually follows, at some point. The mere act of attempting to see certain levels of the aura, for example, establishes some deep awareness of conditions upon them, even if this information does not immediately become available to the conscious mind or is not confirmed with the physical eyes.
The purpose of healing treatment that follows such an examination is to remove impurities and unhealthy energetic phenomena from the energy field. While it is true that this is done through the use of specific healing techniques, it is not these tools that heal—it is the consciousness of the healer that heals, through these tools. The healer, when examining the patient prior to treatment (and while performing treatment, also), does so for the purpose of acquiring a deep and complete sense of the patient’s condition. This deep sense of the state of the patient, in all aspects, is then employed, through the tools, to heal.
In your examination of the patient’s aura levels you begin to acquire an understanding of the patient’s condition. The act of beginning to examine the layers, whether or not you are able to see all of them, gave you this understanding. During your examination of the layers, and the impurities and unhealthy energies that may exist upon them, you should visualize these areas in your mind: allow a visualized sense of each layer to emerge in your being and notice which are in need of correcting and in what way. As you do so, see, intend and sense the layers restored to health—visualize the layers which need healing restored to a healthy state. This is actually a single process—a process of noticing impurities and defects and then visualizing restoration and correctness, all of which is performed with the entire being and the entire conscious awareness, through visualization. This process establishes a link between healer and patient, establishes a visualization of energetic health which is then effected during healing, and therefore lends greater effect to the healing power of the specific techniques which are performed.
You will, for example, examine a patient who has impurities on a certain layer, perhaps the 4th, which consist of blackened yellow or reddish-yellow streaks that appear unwell. You may also have detected, on the 5th layer, disturbances in vibration in the structure. You will, as you examine these layers, see these conditions and visualize these conditions correcting—you will “see” the blackened yellow or reddish-yellow streaks in the colors healed such that the colors return to a healthy hue. You will similarly “see” the vibrational disturbances correct to a smooth, harmonious state. You will then treat your patient, using techniques which have an effect on these layers (techniques which often treat layers of aura and also chakras at the same time). Your deeper awareness and link with your patient will lend greater power to the healing, and this awareness may not merely have greater effect in this way, but may also be referred to during treatment using specific techniques.
The overall deep understanding of the patient and his or her condition that the healer develops before and during treatment does not merely act to promote healing through the overall intention of the healer, but the healer’s awareness may return and be aware of specific energy field distortions and impurities, while treating that portion of the energy field. You will for example, find that an awareness of impurities you detected on the 4th layer of aura during your initial examination of your patient will linger in your awareness, and that when you are later treating this layer of aura using a technique which you will learn to treat the 4th chakra and this layer together, this awareness and visualization will be acting in concert with the technique you employ. You will treat this layer of aura using a particular technique, and yet also have a remnant awareness of unhealthy conditions to be corrected—a persistence of visualization of the conditions existing on the layer and those conditions returning to a state of health, while you perform the technique.
This approach to healing and this effect in healing is not limited to the layers of aura. Your treatment of the chakras, also, works upon this principle, as does every aspect of treatment. Healing is the act of holistically sensing the condition of the patient, in all aspects, and visualizing the energy field and its phenomena, with the entire being, seeing it healed and restored to health, in general and as the various portions of the healing treatment are performed. The healing passes from healer to patient at a deeper level, yet is also expressed in all the specific techniques employed. This is the fundamental principle of healing.


CHAKRA CHARGING
After gaining a complete idea of the condition of the patient’s chakra system, the first step you may wish to employ in treating it is to charge any chakras which require charging. Chakras that are undercharged are in need of having the strength and purity of their functioning restored. Charging them back into a normal, healthy state where they glow with the vibrancy and purity of their true color is necessary for the energetic health of the patient’s entire energy field, and serves as a good foundation upon which further healing work may then be done.
In contrast with simply adding energy to the chakras, as is done during the placement of hands, chakras in need of charging are treated by adding their own true color to them in whatever quantity is necessary to supplement their energetic content, eliminate any energetic impurity present and protect against further intrusion of unhealthy energies. This thereby nourishes and charges them back to pure functioning. It is important to understand, also, that the technique given below for charging chakras also works to treat the higher aura levels; when the chakra is treated, the points on the higher aura levels where its influence is felt are also treated. The healing energies are also distributed, infuse into and effect healing changes in the higher layers of aura, up to and including the corresponding aura layer, and the hands are used in this process. The technique is performed with this knowledge that both the chakra and the higher layers of aura are being treated. It serves to correct any weakness or impurity in the chakra’s energetic functioning, and also treats the higher aura layers which may also have unhealthy conditions in them.
To charge chakras, you may begin at the highest or lowest chakra in need, as you prefer. Often you may choose to begin at the lowest chakra in need of treatment. To begin at the highest chakra in need, however, is not wrong, and there may be individual preferences on your part to do so, as well as varying needs and conditions within the patient, which may make this a good choice in some cases. To charge chakras, use the following hand positions and procedures:
Place your hands on the first chakra you wish to charge, in the hands-overlapping hand position you use during hand placement (hands on the body surface with the right palm centered over the chakra and the left hand gently overlapping). Use this for all except the 1st and 7th chakras. Now visualize the symbol in color, from the basic progression, that corresponds to that chakra, and at the same time see, in your mind’s eye, a cloud of the color surrounding your hands—especially as a cloud or layer of color below the hand, gently penetrating into your patient. You are the entire act of visualizing the symbol in the color, and the cloud of color around the hands, and you are intending and sensing the chakra being restored to its pure color. Seek to restore the color to its pure hue—you may note the chakra color on the back of your hand, using your subtle sight, as it changes. Be a transparent, pure channel for the color. Continue sending color to the chakra, with your hands gently on the body surface for a few moments, or until you sense you have adequately supplemented the chakra with color.








After treating the chakra at the lowest level of aura, in this way, raise your hands to about 5 or 6 inches above the body surface, and move your hands apart slightly, so that instead of overlapping with the thumbs and index fingers, they are only overlapping slightly. Continue sending the color in the exact same way as before, but with one addition: you may feel, when your hands are off the body sending color, that you want to move your hands in small semicircular movements, two or three inches in diameter, to help diffuse the color, or merely to have the idea of movement in your mind, as if you were moving imaginary “etheric” hands. Your psychic sense, or the assistance and direction of a guide, may make the hands want to move. If the hands feel driven to move, let them move; if not, do whatever you feel is best. Perhaps you will want to move your hands, perhaps you will not feel driven to do so, and there will be times when one or the other seems best, due to the condition and needs of each particular patient. It will be common, however, for the physical hands to move.
Send the color for a few minutes more, at this second level (5 or 6 inches above the body surface), and then raise your hands an additional 5 or 6 inches, so that they are now 10 to 12 inches out. Spread the hands apart a little more, so that they are not quite touching, and send the color to this third level of the field, employing the small semicircular hand movements if you feel it proper. These 5 or 6 inch increments do not exactly correspond to the higher bodies, but roughly so, and they are the increments where one can optimally charge the field with energy and color, so that they effectively move into the higher levels of the field. These increments correspond to the approximate elevations of the chakra points as they exist on the higher bodies—the points on the higher layers of aura that are analogous to those points on the physical body where you place your hands.
Continue the increments until you reach the increment that corresponds to the chakra you are charging, and send the color to this final level. You will, for example, in charging a heart chakra, move your hands successively from the body surface (1st level) to 5 to 6 inches above (2nd level), to 10 to 12 inches above (3rd level), and to about 15 to 18 inches above (the 4th incremental level). At each level you will visualize a green trine in your mind’s eye and also visualize a cloud of true color green below your hands. You will thereby effectively send the color to each level for a few moments. At each level up, you must spread your hands apart a little further, as the field of the chakra projects outward as if a funnel. If you are able to sense or view the conditions on the higher bodies, as you perform this technique on the higher layers, you may use this awareness to judge when your treatment at each layer is complete.
When treating the lower chakras (the 1st and 2nd), treatment of most of the levels of aura will not be required. You may note that in treating a 2nd chakra, for example, it is only necessary to go to the 2nd level, 5 to 6 inches out, yet you may proceed out a further level or two, on occasion, if you feel it is needed with one of these lower chakras. This is not necessary, however, nor will it usually be required.
After charging the chakra using this complete procedure, likewise treat all other chakras in need of charging. You may find that sometimes, as you sense and treat an individual chakra to restore its color, there will be a sullying of the energy surrounding the chakra that may extend as well to the neighboring chakras, requiring that they also be treated. You will therefore need to strive to be continuously aware of not only the chakra you are treating, but also all the others. You will need to maintain a holistic awareness of the chakra system and the layers of aura as well as whatever effects your treatment is having on them. Only the front of the body, and the front component of each chakra needing treatment, is treated during charging. After charging each chakra, you may perceive the color of the chakra as being restored.
The 7th and 1st chakras are not as likely to require charging as most of the others, yet if they do, use the following technique:
The 7th chakra may be charged using the hands in the same position on the top of the head as is usually used in the first part of treatment. Send the color forth, in this position, and then move your hands to successively higher increments, moving them successively further apart to treat this wide whirlpool-shaped chakra. The first chakra may be charged by placing the hands about 10 inches away from the body surface, diagonally out, along the chakra, and charging the chakra at this one level. This is done as a courtesy to the patient, as the hands are never placed on or near the genital region.
Maintaining Transparency—A Reminder:
It is especially important to be certain, as you learned in Chios Level II, that whenever you employ a treatment technique that uses the hands, you are aware that you are actually treating the patient using your entire being, through your hands. This is especially important with the techniques in this course, in which you employ visualization in conjunction with hand treatment. Be aware and open to the entire act, with your entire consciousness, and do not consider that it is just your hand alone that is working on some small part of the patient’s energy field. You are acting with your entire self on the patient’s entire self. This is essential for proper practice of chakra charging, chakra rebalancing, the radiatory method and other important techniques taught in this level.

CHAKRA SYSTEM REBALANCING
A chakra system that is in balance is a prerequisite for overall health and harmony of the energy field. After charging any chakras that require it, you will then proceed to rebalance the entire chakra system. You will do this by raising or lowering the activity, the radiatory strength, of any chakra exhibiting under or overactivity—balancing its activity level with the other chakras, so that all are radiating with the same strength.
Once a chakra is in an adequately charged state, with pure energy functioning according to its own true color nature, its activity level can then be raised or lowered through the addition of lower or higher colors—colors above or below its own native true color. The seven colors of the chakra system are akin to seven energy levels—as one moves from red to violet, each color has the nature of a successively higher level of vibration. To apply a color that is lower or higher than a chakra’s own native true color has the effect of raising or lowering the chakras activity level—the higher or lower energy level will alter the level of stimulation, the radiant strength of the chakra in its own true color range, accordingly.
Whereas the intrinsic color of the chakra itself was applied to restore color or treat impurity during charging, rebalancing of the chakra system is accomplished by altering the activity level of each over- or under-stimulated chakra by treating the chakra to be rebalanced with lower or higher true colors, thereby lowering or raising the level of its activity by the influence of this lower or higher energy level. By doing this to whichever chakras are contributing to a pattern of imbalance, the chakra system can be brought to a level and balanced condition. Rebalancing of the chakra system, in this way, works with the chakras only—it does not directly affect the higher layers of aura. A balanced chakra system, however, has a far healthier and more harmonious influence on the higher aura layers and the entire energy field and life of the patient than does one with a significant pattern of imbalance. To rebalance the patient’s chakra system you may begin, again, at the uppermost or lowermost chakra in need, as you wish, depending on your own preference or the needs of your patient. To rebalance chakras, use the following hand positions and procedures:
Place your hands on the first chakra you wish to rebalance, in the hands-overlapping hand position you use during hand placement (hands on the body surface with the right palm centered over the chakra and the left hand gently overlapping). Use this for all (except the 1st and 7th) chakras. Now visualize the symbol that is associated with the chakra (the Circle for the 1st, 2nd or 3rd chakras; the Trine for the 4th, 5th or 6th chakras; the Star for the 7th chakra) in the next lower or higher color to the chakra’s native color, depending on whether the activity level of the chakra needs to be lowered or raised. Note that you are not using a colored symbol from the basic progression—in rebalancing, unlike charging, you are always using the symbol related to the chakra, and not changing the symbol as you vary the color. At the same time that you visualize the symbol associated with the chakra in the next lower or higher color, also “see,” in your mind’s eye, a cloud of that color surrounding your hands—especially as a cloud or layer of color below the hand, gently penetrating into your patient. You are the entire act of visualizing the symbol in the color, and the cloud of that color around the hands, and you intend and sense a lowering or raising of the activity level of the chakra.

After seeking to lower or raise the activity level of the chakra by using the next-lowest or next-highest color in this way for a few moments, check your progress through the use of an intuitive reading—through visualization of the body profile—to determine whether or not the activity level has moved closer to the level state you are seeking for the chakra system. Is there still a dip, or bump, at that chakra location? If so, you must then use a stronger influence—a color two steps removed from that chakra’s native color—so that the even lower (or higher) energy level will work to affect the chakra’s level of activation in a stronger way. Treat the chakra in the exact same way as before, yet using this even lower (or higher) color for a few moments more, and then once again check your progress using the body profile. Continue treating this chakra with successively lower or higher colors until you feel that the proper activity level of the chakra has been restored.
Sometimes chakras will only require the application of one higher or lower color to “bring them into line.” At other times a chakra will require a succession of higher or lower colors to raise or lower its activity, respectively. Often chakras will require application of a color two or even three steps below or above their native color. You will notice that when treating low chakras that are overactive or high chakras that are underactive, you will only have a limited number of color steps available. In these cases, it is not usually difficult to use what lower or higher colors are available to rebalance the chakra, yet it may sometimes require a longer application.
Always start, however, with the next-higher or next-lower color to that chakras own native color—do not “jump” two or more steps at a time—because it is far gentler on the chakra system and the patient to gradually increase or decrease the energy level applied to affect the activity level of the chakra. Increase or decrease the color applied one color step at a time, until whatever color difference is necessary to correct the activity level has been reached. Use the procedure above to rebalance each chakra which requires it—working either from lower to higher chakras or from higher to lower. When you have finished rebalancing the chakras, they should all radiate with equal strength—no one chakra will possess more force than another. They will appear as an even rainbow. Check your progress using visualization of the body profile.
Note again that the higher levels of aura are not treated in rebalancing—one remains on the body surface, with hands on the chakra being treated, when altering the chakra activity levels. Only the front of the body is treated in this manner. Rebalancing the chakras in this manner is a gentle, yet effective method of altering the activity of the chakras, by beginning with nearer colors, rather than immediately employing a much higher or lower color, such as a color opposite, which would have a harsher effect. Such schemes of balancing chakras are often ineffective, too.
You may wonder why the application of other colors is done after the chakra’s own color is applied to purify it during charging, and whether the addition of the other colors can render it impure again. Charging and rebalancing, although both using color, are fundamentally different processes. The addition of the chakra’s own color, during charging, is performed to correct an impure functioning of the native energy in the chakra—to strengthen and purify its native energetic functioning. Once the intrinsic energy is pure and strong in its color, the addition of higher and lower colors or energy levels, during rebalancing, has a different effect—a stimulating or quieting effect on the activity level of the chakra. Adding lower or higher true colors to a charged chakra do not introduce impurities; the addition of a pure color to a chakra cannot pollute it again.
There are a few special considerations to be observed when rebalancing the 1st or 7th chakras. Overactivity of the 7th chakra is treated by placing the hands on the top of the head in the same way as during the regular series of hand positions and applying the lower colors as needed, using the above procedure. Underactivity of the 1st chakra is treated by placing the hands about 10 inches above the 1st chakra, diagonally out, and applying the higher colors as required (the hands are never placed on the body of the patient at the first chakra position), using the above procedure.
Underactivity of the 7th chakra or overactivity of the 1st chakra cannot be treated using color, however, as you may understand. There are no colors that we use that are higher than violet or lower than red. Underactivity of the 7th chakra, can, however, be treated with the Star, as follows:
Position the hands about 10 to 12 inches above the crown of the head, and visualizing the Star without color. You must intend and sense, using the power of your will, to increase the activity of the 7th chakra and restore it to balance.
Overactivity of the 1st chakra may be treated as follows:
Place the hands about 3 inches above the first chakra (diagonally out in front of the body), and visualizing the Circle, without color, using the will to decrease the activity of this chakra, and bringing it into balance. Use the force of your will when using these techniques—you will find that there is a strong bond between you and your patient when you do this.
