Healings are remarkably beneficial for the healer as well. In order to be a conduit for healing energy the healer must be an open and receptive channel. This requires a certain level of concentration and grounding along with expansion and relaxation. The healer is constantly perceiving what is present in the subtle energy fields and juxtaposing that information with more solid physical information, like patient desire, anatomy, physiology and history. A dialogue between the patients bioenergy and the healer develops in which the healer can tap into a tremendous level of intelligence that is present throughout the patients energy field.
“Form is no different from emptiness.
Emptiness is no different from form.
Form is precisely emptiness, emptiness is precisely form.”
Buddha, Heart Sutra
Two thousand years later, physicists agree. At the quantum level the space inside form has very little difference from the space that surrounds it. Forms that appear to be solid are actually composed of particles that appear to be both energy and matter. And, perhaps most startling, by observing this phenomenon, we become participants affecting its behavior.

“The notes I handle no better than many pianists. But the pauses between the notes--ah, that is where the art resides!”
