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.
