I've been gaining confidence in sending distant healing and wanted to grow a bit more. I wonder if you can help me?
I'd like to send distance healing to more than one recipient at a time. I've had a read through of some older threads and saw some interesting examples, e.g. posting names in a box with the symbols on the inside, names in a reiki healing book . . . Any other suggestions?
Also, can anyone explain how the distant healing would go to all those names? When sending distantly I concentrate on one individual, but how is it energetically possible to send healing to many people ? There's only so much energy I can channel at any given moment, so would the energy not be divided up between all those people making it less usefu to the individuals concerned?
Perhaps I'm thinking in too much of a linear way, but I'd be interested to hear everyone's views.

RE: Multiple recipients of distance healing
Hi Cub
The answer depends largely on how you do it, if you just set your intention to send healing for the highest good then you could potentially send it to everyone in the world at the same time
But if you are working remotely then it depends largely on how developed your spiritual consciousness is, the more developed you are energetically the more people you can connect with and work at the same time
RE: Multiple recipients of distance healing
Relax and be as ease,
Call in your guides
Hold your hands together and let the energy flow through you
Feel a ball forming in your hands
let it grow until its completed
Add the names you wish to be sent healing
And throw it up, asking your guides and angels to take it to them
In the highest good
You can vizulize colours, etc here, this is a good method of sendign helign to mulitipal recipients. Called a healing ball, or u can send as many healing balls as u want,
Love
Ithar:)
RE: Multiple recipients of distance healing
Hello Cub,
Is it YOUR energy you want to send to these recipients? Or is it the healing energy of Spirit that you want them to receive?
If it is the energy of Spirit, then simply ask that Spirit provide them with the healing that they need. That way you take yourself out of the picture altogether. No need to work at anything or to channel anything, but you will be sharing the Love that you want them to have.
They will receive exactly what they need in the quantity that they need because Spirit knows that better than you do, or even they do.
It really is as easy as that and you don't need any training in order to make the request. (It does kinda hurt the ego though.)
RE: Multiple recipients of distance healing
You could imagine the recipients as being very, very small - little tiny people that you are holding, and loving in your hands. And heal them.
RE: Multiple recipients of distance healing
Hi Cub ,
I think once again the word intent pops up here, also the need to follow your guidance & intuition. I have a few ways I do it , sometimes I see everyone sitting in a group & I send Reiki to that group while saying their names. other times I write the names down on a piece of paper & I read the names individually . Do whats comfortable for you .Relax & let spirit do the rest .
With love Maria xxx[sm=hug.gif]
RE: Multiple recipients of distance healing
Hello Everyone,
Thanks for all the lovely replies.
Paul, could you explain what you mean by 'working remotely'?
I understand what you're saying, Steve and Nancy, about trusting Spirit . . . just my logical self trying to have a semblance of understanding what I'm doing. But I guess it's not really going to possible when you're talking about something as complex as universal energy.
Hey, Ithar, that's a stunning visualisation. It's so creative and dramatic. Thanks for sharing it. And I'm looking forward to trying out the others this weekend.
Cub
RE: Multiple recipients of distance healing
Hi Cub
Whatever you can do with someone in front of you can do remotely.
The energy is connected, we are a part of the energy so we can connect with anyone, anywhere and at any time as long as it does not infringe on their free will.
I will give you a quick rundown on how I teach this with the Gaia-Now energy connection, and though this is not a Reiki modality it is energy work so you should be able to apply the same principle to any modality.
- make sure you are connected to your Devine I AM Higher Self/the energy so you can feel the energy flowing.
- state your intention to connect with (the name of the person) at (address of the person) and let it happen, you will sense the connection is there.
- ask permission to do some energy work on them and do nothing until it is affirmed, you will sense it, if you get a negative response then stop.
- Now assuming the response is positive you scan and work the same as you would if they where in front of you which they are.
- When it is finished state your intention to break the connection and do whatever you normally do after an energy treatment.
That is it simple and effective, hope that helps
RE: Multiple recipients of distance healing
Hi Cub,
It's quite the opposite really. Universal energy is not at all complex--it is simplicity itself. It is Love.
The idea of sharing Love with others and assisting them, and yourself, to heal is what life is all about. Reiki is a name given to a system designed to share that Love, but babies are born knowing how to Love and no system is necessary.
Connect with what you know of the best of yourself and the best of any one else and it is the very same thing--the essence of Spirit. So you don't need to "do" anything but ask Spirit to provide for your intended recipient.
We only delude ourselves when we think that "WE" do the healing for others.
RE: Multiple recipients of distance healing
Hi Steve and Nancy
That is a nice sentiment and though we may well chose to operate out of love or care for someone that is in reality just a healthy foundation for learning from and then proceeding to do the energy work.
Just sending someone love will not balance or repair their energy matrixes, it will not sort out their problems, it will give them a feel good facture for a while the same as giving someone a hug does but that is just sharing love with someone.
If you went to a dentist with a bad tooth and they gave you a hug for a few minutes, sympathised with you and then sent you home without even looking in your mouth, you would not be very impressed especially not when you had to pay the bill, we are the same if we are not actively working ourselves then why should we expect people to pay us.
The energy BEings are very happy to work with us and help us to develop and expand our natural spiritual consciousness, just like parents out of love do everything for their children when they are young and inexperienced.
The energy BEings are definitely not our servants to continually run round and do our work for us, they do expect us at some point to develop and mature and eventually contribute to the whole, not just constantly take, take, take.
RE: Multiple recipients of distance healing
Yes, Paul, I can see you shaking your head. As Leo shouted at us one time, “You just don’t get it, do you?” And we don’t get it, in a sense: why Spirit would need US to go through such contortions to accomplish what they can do in a heartbeat?
If I have a toothache, I must be in the presence of that dentist for “him” to fix my tooth, certainly. He can’t pretend I am in the dental chair and drill away the decay in my tooth and then fill it. But that’s the difference between medical intervention and healing from Spirit. The healing is an agreement between the receiver and Spirit—and must be in place for even the physical intervention of the dentist to accomplish what he wants.
As humans use the word “Love” we tend to trivialize it. We can love pizza and we can sign a note with love, but in the same way that catholic (meaning universal) does not mean the same thing as Catholic (meaning a specific church), love does not have the same effect as Love.
At its source, Love has the full ability to heal. It is total acceptance for who and what a person is. Unconditionally. There is nothing more powerful than the knowledge that who and what we are is perfect and perfectly acceptable to Spirit. It is the emotion of unworthiness that causes us to develop un-health. So sharing the unconditional Love of Spirit is what changes the un-health into health. Sometimes that sharing can come as a result of a touch; sometimes it comes as a result of a thought. Both can be equally powerful.
Among us there are those who can assist Spirit in applying healing energy to another. We call them healers, mothers, fathers, friends, pets. Their effectiveness is largely because we have faith in their ability to Love us unconditionally. And you are right that it takes effort to keep our thinking in line with what we need to do to assist others to get rid of their un-health. But as any doctor or dentist will tell you, there are times when they do all they know how to do and still the result is not as they would wish. So their intent has little to do with the healing. Healing is the acceptance on the part of the one who demonstrates the result of dis-ease.
And it sounds like a very human limitation to say that Spirit won’t work with us endlessly. They work with us constantly, whether we know it or not. That’s part of the state of BEing. We are because they are. There is never a time when we are not working together.
But at the same time, we don’t work WITH Spirit by telling them what we want them to do, any more than we work with our colleagues by ordering them hither and yon. The word WITH implies that we are together in purpose and that no one has dominion over another. I may request of Spirit that Madame X receives the energy she needs, but never would I ask or demand that her kidney disease is healed, for the dis-ease is a symptom of a deeper and more invasive hurt. When I ask for healing for her, Spirit will provide what they know Madame X needs and I have nothing to do with it. And when I make the request without specifying “who” I want to do the job, the healing comes from the being most appropriate for the task.
As healers, we accept the responsibility to assist Spirit in providing healing energies to other persons. Often that means that we act as a physical focus for the energy, and to do that effectively we must take our desires out of the picture. Spirit cannot use us to heal a heart injured by the effects of a drunken parent if what we “see” and concentrate on is angina. The injury is far more pervasive and the physical heart is merely the current physical manifestation.
But healing energies and Love are not different. They are exactly the same thing, because it is the concentration of Love that heals, when accepted by the one who hurts. Love is healing!! In the same line of thinking, if you are using purely Love for healing purposes there will never be a time when it is rejected, for Love is the essence of the soul. Love, when offered, is slurped up by the intended recipient; anything else could be r
RE: Multiple recipients of distance healing
Healing energies are unconditional Love.
Unconditional Love accepts us just as we are.
We do not need to develop or mature,
We do not need to alter what we are,
We do not need to “do” anything.
All we have to do is be ourselves.
We are loved completely for our natural selves.
We don’t need to know anything;
All we need to do is
Ask
Ask for Love
For ourselves and for others.
We can ask in our words,
We can ask in our own way,
For healing energies of Love.
For; there are no restrictions on Love.

RE: Multiple recipients of distance healing
Hi Cub,
One way of tackling the issue of energy is to think in terms of physics.
Energy cannot be lost, it can only be changed from one form to another.
It is like the circle of life, by taking in energy and accepting love, you give love to others. And in turn they give love to others.
There's no such thing as being selfish with energy.
Even if you took all the energy in the world, there still would be an equal amount left over, because the world IS energy. The trees are energy, the mountains and even the things that would not even be considered to have energy, do have energy.
Yes, when you 'channel' energy, it is divided between those you are asking for, but because energy is unlimited, the division is meaningless. Each person will receive what is needed, regardless of how much you 'allow'. Simply setting up a connection with Spirit is enough.
RE: Multiple recipients of distance healing
Hi Steve and Nancy
I though I had come onto the religion forum then for a moment.
Sorry although the concept is good it is incomplete, there are people out there and I am one of them who can heal and do heal without any pre conceptions of love, hate, light, darkness, good or evil etc. we understand who and what we are and just heal because it is a part of our makeup to do so.
If love was all it took to heal the none of the people we all love and cherish would ever become ill and certainly not die from an illness as we would just love them back to health, sorry but that concept does not happen in this physical reality.
We are all spiritual BEings exploring the physical, there are spiritual BEing who have already explored the physical realm and moved on, then there are those who do not chose to and those who are waiting to do it, this understanding has nothing to do with love it just is a part of my reality.
One thing that does confuse me about your post is you state quite categorically that no one on this planet can heal but then you say us healers, if no one can heal then why are you calling yourself a healer? as a healer by definition heals.
RE: Multiple recipients of distance healing
Hello again, Paul
We’d suggest that you read again. All of the explanations that you asked for are included in that message.
You don’t have to believe in Love for it to do what it needs to do.
Those who suffer from dis-ease do so because they feel a lack of Love, not because it is actually absent.
We work to assist those people to feel the Love. That fits into the category of healing.
No matter what you do, you cannot make some people “know” that you love them any more than you can “make” some understand a different point of view. You offer the opportunity.
You can call it a religion or a belief system, but we see it as the deepest possible respect for an individual and their right to free will. What they choose is ultimately between them and their source.

We are all spiritual BEings exploring the physical, there are spiritual BEing who have already explored the physical realm and moved on, then there are those who do not chose to and those who are waiting to do it,
Our perception also. So what is the essence of these Beings? And what is their connection to “your” healing, if any? From what source does “your” healing arise?
RE: Multiple recipients of distance healing
Hi Steve and Nancy
Long before I new about healing systems etc. I could heal, my energy came from my own energy BEing, my Divine I AM Higher Self the same as everyone else's.
The difference now is I have a lot more energy connections to call on, so I now have more resources and a greater pool of understanding to dip into when the need arises.
So I would say my energy comes from many sources, mostly spiritual though there are also physical energies or elements that I am starting to tap into and get good results from but it all works through my higher self

What is evident in this posting, Paul, is that when you started healing you knew only that you had the ability to assist others to heal—and the energy you used was from the I AM, or supreme being. The ultimate source.
As you began to put yourself into the healing, you began to look outside of that ultimate source to find ways of influencing the healing. Now, you employ other origins of energy.
Why?
RE: Multiple recipients of distance healing
Hi Steve and Nancy
It is my nature to explore and expand my understanding of things, if there is more than one way to do something I want to understand them all.
Once I understood that there where many sources and each source had its own consciousness and could help to expand my own consciousness in different ways then I was happy to go exploring
The effect of expanding on the I AM source in energy work is similar to being in an energy circle where all of the participants can contribute to the whole energy session, so if one fails to affect the change another with a different understanding or concept can step in and complete it.
This in turn affects our understanding of things, with the I AM you get a good manual but with the different connections it is more like having a library at your disposal once you learn to communicate with them
The outcome of all this is I work primarily on peoples energy matrixes, scanning, healing or repairing, balancing and energising as I go, this coming back to Crystal Cub's original question can be done the same remotely as hands on and with practice you can work on more than one person at the same time.
RE: Multiple recipients of distance healing
i have just come across this fascinating thread, & i am finding it hard to follow the esoteric sparring dimension. so is awareness of love a prerequisite in, say, the reiki recipient? &, if so, how is it instilled?
how do i surrender to spirit (or at least remain open) without looking outside of myself for truth?
i would like to understand how healing energy doesn't get 'spread too thin' when sent to multiple recipients. is it like the way meeting & loving someone new doesn't make me love someone i already know any less? is energy infinite?
also, i wonder about 'being' steve & nancy. for some reason your being a fusion brings up identity/ownership issues for me & adds to my sense of the abstract. hope that isn't perceived as intrusive or rude.
it's still the fundamentals i struggle with!
RE: Multiple recipients of distance healing
Hi Reikirabbit
You do not surrender to spirit as you are already spirit, all that is required is that you acknowage your Divine I AM higher self and be open to develop and expand your consciousness.
Any external info or help has to come through your higher self, so in a sense it is still internal but just as people can talk a lot of rubbish so can some of the energies, just like us they are not infallible or perfect you have to be discerning and what comes has to resonate within your being or you have to reject it.
It is a misconception to believe that to heal all you have to do is to supply x amount of energy, yes if their energy levels are depleted then by all means fill them up but filling a cars petrol tank will not fix the car.
Often all that is required is that we manipulate the energy that already exists around the person we are helping and sometimes there is an overload of energy so we get rid of some or redistribute it around the energy matrix until we have found the balance.
Balance to my understanding is the key to healing, if everything is balanced then you have done your job

Hi Reikirabbit, if I may answer your questions from my p.o.v.... I can sympathise with your confusion - these guys often have me going 'huh?', but I suspect they and Paul are discussing the exact same thing but from different viewpoints...
Awareness of love is part and parcel of everyone, even those who close it off or think of it as too painful to open to. No one can 'instill' it apart from the person themselves and the only thing to do is love unconditionally and with compassion every ounce of their being in the hope that they will accept it and open up to their spiritual potential.
IMO, you can't surrender or open up to spirit fully without first opening up to the Spirit Within yourself - call it God, Goddess... whatever. Outside truths can only reflect those within you and once you learn to trust your own truths, you become aware of your Being, your own spirit/soul/eternal energy. This, of course, can take a lifetime or more...
As for energy being infinite.. of course it is! There is more and enough energy in this Universe to heal and support all beings in all forms, but we humans try to compartmentalise it - we can't always cope with the sheer vastness of it all... There is always enough energy for however many people are sent healing; whether they choose to accept it or not is another matter.
Hope that clarifies it a little.

RE: Multiple recipients of distance healing
Hi Paul,
I don’t have a clue about balancing;
I just ask for Love;
And it is the same whether that person is in front of me;
Or thousands of miles away.
I just simply ask Spirit for healing / Love for that person.
And it doesn’t matter whether you are asking for one or for many;
Love is limitless.
Just like I could not fix my car;
I could not fix it for someone else.
And as I see it, the best true specialist for each of us is Spirit.
And just like a car needs petrol to make it go;
We all need Love to help us go through life;
And so I ask Spirit for Love/ healing.
Catherine
RE: Multiple recipients of distance healing
Hi Moonfeather, Reikirabbit, Crystal Cub and Paul (and anyone else out there who might be following this discussion)
Moonfeather, thanks for the help with explaining. The thing that makes it difficult is that a teeny point can be misunderstood and that eventually takes you far from where you wanted to end up.
Think of drawing a line in maths class. If there is only a short way to go, you don’t have to be precise and you can still make that graph look pretty accurate, but if it is a long line and you haven’t taken the time or effort to make sure that all of the points along the line are in exact alignment, the end of the line can be far off the mark.
Or compare it to origami. If you make sure that each fold along the way is sharp and clear, and exactly right, the end product is neat and tidy. It is just what was intended.
Working with Spirit is very much the same. We all start out as perfectly genuine—totally in tune with Spirit. If we go by our instinct while authenticating each step along the way, we make those lines without wavering and make the folds crisp. There is no chance of error.
But if we lose focus or lose confidence in ourselves and start to gauge our performance by the person working next to us then our attention is diverted by what they are doing. They may be working on something totally different and to apply their technique to your task is inappropriate. You need to look within yourself for the direction that applies to your undertaking.
And Paul, your reference to the library is apt. But we deal more with the Internet now and there is a tremendous difference.
Books in the library have gone through an editing process whereby all of the information in the book has been verified in one way or another. It may not be totally accurate but there is justification for its inclusion, or at least was at the time of printing. Then there is the selection process whereby the librarian or library board decides the applicability to an intended audience.
The Internet, on the other hand, allows anyone to publish absolutely anything they want whether it is accurate or not, with no possible oversight and no unbiased editor suggesting verification.
It is this that concerns us. To look outside of your native understanding allows you to find all kinds of sparkly bits that look good, or sound stimulating, or feel titillating but distract you from the solid ground. It’s like going to a carnival and accepting it as real life. Searching in books, or on the Internet, or in endless courses fills you with so much conflicting information that it is difficult to tell what is authentic and what is not. Your natural ability to discern the genuine is suppressed.
The higher self. What is it? We understand it as an integral part of who you are, not a separate portion of your being. As you are Spirit embodied you are still a full part of Spirit in other realms. It is the aspect of you that remains as purely Spirit. It is not a filter that keeps you from harm or from making choices that are not in your best interests.
Reikirabbit, you use the term esoteric, meaning available to a select group. That term certainly does not apply to spirituality in any form. All understanding is available to everyone, at the moment they are ready and willing to accept it.
So put these last three paragraphs together and you have the concept of free will. You are allowed to accept whatever you want, no part of you will keep you from wandering far from truth if you desire, BUT if you want to retain authenticity you have the source of that authentication available within yourself.
Rabbit, you also ask about the fusion—the apparent integration of personalities that writes our responses. It is true that one of us can begin to write and at any point stop. The other can pick up at that point and the writing retains the same message, the same direction, and the same energy. There is Steve, there is Nancy, and there is EnergyAtWork. So the origin of the message would not be our thoughts but

To address your other questions, Rabbit:
2) The source of Spirit is within you, so there is no need to open yourself to it but to allow yourself to feel it at every moment. Instead, develop the ability to see what is not truth and reject it.
3) As to energy and infinity, think about the sun shining. No matter how many people see or use the sun, the light is not diminished. It can and does shine on us in the US and on you in the UK, even at the same time. Even at moments when I cannot see the sun, I know it is shining to its full extent. My ability to see it has nothing to do with the sunlight itself.
Another visual: Set out any number of candles. Light one to signify your love. Now using that candle, light the rest. Does your candle flame diminish because you lit one other candle? Ten others? No, you still have the same flame even though it has now multiplied ten-fold, and each of the others has a flame sufficient to them, undiminished by the flame of the newest candle. You are not used up by Love. It is infinite!
1) Love is the basis of living. To allow yourself to share it with anyone else is to expand yourself. The recipient has every right to accept what you offer but also can find themselves in such a place that they cannot acknowledge it.
An analogy would be an afternoon matinee in which you have become so involved that you forget that the darkness inside the theatre is not reality. It startles you when someone opens the exit door and you discover the brightness outside! The Love you make available through healing can provide that kind of illumination.
It is instilled by expressing Love (the authentic energy of healing) through your touch, through your words, through your eyes, through your Loving thoughts. The trick is to keep all of the bits that are not Love out of the experience.
RE: Multiple recipients of distance healing
Hi Steve and Nancy
It also brings us back to the original question. Why search for something else when you already have everything you need? Why look for other sources of energy when you begin with that which created? Does the source of creation need enhancement to be able to heal?
Creation like energy work is not static it is an ever ongoing process.
That is why we utilise the creator energies which are in a constant state of flux to both co-create our existence and our energy work.
It is this very creative energy that encourages us to move beyond our limited understanding, push back the boundaries and be creative
RE: Multiple recipients of distance healing
Co-creation sounds like taking the materials in a priceless mansion (because they are there) and using them to build the cottage that you can envision. But it also implies your right to do so. [sm=scratchchin.gif]
RE: Multiple recipients of distance healing
Hi Steve and Nancy
It all comes down to choices, we have a Divine right to exist the same as all the other beings in whatever form they choose to have.
Everything in existence has a Divine free will, the energies do not have to do anything we tell them to unless they choose to, the same as we do not have to do anything they tell us to do unless we choose to.
Everything that exists has a Divine right to be creative if they choose to do so.
As healers we have a Divine right to co-create our energy work on an equal footing with any energy BEings that choose to assist us, we can also choose to ignore what our Divine I AM higher self is doing during these sessions if we so choose
But in order to co-create we have to learn to move beyond our narrow minded self imposed physical limitations and just BE, we also need to learn to heal of course but that partly comes with the acceptance and responsibility of becoming a healer, the rest like all skills comes through hard work and diligence.
RE: Multiple recipients of distance healing

Everything in existence has a Divine free will, the energies do not have to do anything we tell them to unless they choose to, the same as we do not have to do anything they tell us to do unless we choose to.
It is this stance, Paul, that frightens the be-jesus out of me. That we teach this kind of thing to those just beginning to work with Spirit or that those who have worked with Spirit for any length of time think that this is acceptable.
The effrontery of thinking that I, personally, could tell any energy what to do!! I am one simple human, hand in hand with the creator, and I could not begin to know what any other being should do at my command in the name of healing. It would be like putting lightning in the hands of a monkey.
Instead, I request of Spirit that they use me to accomplish what they know needs to be done. I sing in concert with Spirit. I do not direct the symphony.
RE: Multiple recipients of distance healing
Hi Steve and Nancy
We use our intention (our wills) in energy work not supplication, the energy BEings are the same as us, we do not have to bow down and worship them, they acknowledge us and work with us as equals.
You seem to be coming from a religious stance again which will be a hindrance and course restrictions where none should exist, you are not "a simple human being" you are a unique energy being who has chosen to experience the physical realm, the energies do not have to abide by our intentions and can simply refuse to do anything which should not be done.
I have had a look at your site to get a better idea of what you do and there are a few anomalies, I understand where you are coming from when you say you do not heal, but this is unfortunately not true and spirit concurs you do actually heal but have choose not to perceive what you are doing.
If you where to exclude yourself from the healing like you say then nothing would get done as you would have to excluded your higher self and block your energy matrix, the fact that you do receive guidance from your higher self means it is still functioning and if you can sense the energy flowing through you then you are in fact channelling the energy.
People who do martial arts use the same higher self for self control, development, defence and healing, there is no difference they just choose to use their spirit that way.
When we channel information it is through our higher self, when we receive visions it is through our higher self, whatever way we choose to utilise spirit in energy work it is a part of us, it has to come from within, unless we are practicing religion which by its design comes from without
RE: Multiple recipients of distance healing
Hi Everyone,
I'm glad I sat down with a nice cool drink to read this as it's taken some time to read it and think through the points raised.
In addition to the helpful suggestions of distant healing techniques, what I choose to take from the postings in this thread is:
* Spirit/God/Universal energy [insert any other name you wish to use] will handle the mechanism of how energy will find its way to multiple recipients regardless of my own limitations;
* distant healing appears to be energetically sent by setting up a precise intention;
* any division of healing energy between multiple recipients is not problematic as the original source is infinite; and
* another expression for healing energy from Spirit is Love. (This I am familar with funnily enough even in the course of my Hindu upbringing, where an expression of divine blessings was infinite Love.)
Whilst there has been an extended debate between Paul and Steve/Nancy, from where I'm sat their views seem to be either side of the same coin. For Steve/Nancy their regard is turned to the form in which Spirit sends its healing energy, Love. This could be described as a macrocosmic expression of universal energy, and one that does not require any further delineation. For Paul, his focus is as to how that same energy can be worked with at a level of energy matrices that varies in its detail from individual to individual - a microcosmic expression of the same energy.
It seems unlikely that you will reach a point of agreement on your views on how universal energy can be best delivered. However, as commentators, you each act as examples of your viewpoints. This in itself is useful for people like me starting to learn to work with energy as a form of bringing about healing, as we can take from your experiences what resonates with our own self-awareness.
I'm a bit confused by what you write, Catherine:
We do not need to develop or mature,
We do not need to alter what we are,
We do not need to “do” anything.
It doesn't ring true with any ideas I've come across about self-healing or moving on through life. If we do not need to do any of the things you mention why are we here experiencing this life?
Thanks to all of you for taking the time to discuss these ideas with me .
