Throw Your Troubles Away Magically

Throw Your Troubles Away Magically

At a seminar on healing we once heard a woman tell of an exercise that relieved her of her troubles. She said she walked around a large park with a canvas sack. For every problem in her life, she picked up a big rock, associated it with the problem, and put the rock in her sack. She said that by the time she had finished putting all the rocks in her sack, she could hardly carry or drag it around--that's how many problems she had been carrying around with her.

When she was done, she dragged her sack over to a lake in the park. She then took each rock out of the sack one by one and, saying goodbye, heaved each rock as far as she could into the lake. At the end of the entire process, she left the park with an empty sack and a very light heart.

Does Her Method Have a Magical Basis?
Her story was so inspiring and wonderful that we began thinking about the magical basis for her method--and discovered that it was actually valid and useful. Her method falls under the category of simulacra magic, in which physical objects are used to represent person, place, or thing in life. It's also known as voodoo or Vodun magic. Once you correlate the physical object to the person, place, or thing in life, what you do to the object you also do to the person, place, or thing.

What the woman did with her rocks was to create a correlation or psychic connection between a rock and a problem in her life. When she threw each rock into the lake, she severed her physical connection to the rock and, by the laws of simulacra magic, also her connection to her problem.

Taking Care with Simulacra Magic
Now you obviously want to be careful with this approach because it's powerful. You don't want to associate a person with a rock, and then throw the rock into the lake--you would drown the person (and be subject to quite a bit of negative Universal feedback according to Rules of the Road). What you can do is connect your resentments, fears, angers, and other negative emotions to rocks and then throw them into the lake. You can also bury the rocks and allow Mother Earth to cleanse them for you (leave them buried for at least one moon cycle). It's a great way to unload! What's fascinating is that if you look at almost any tradition or method like this, you can find the magical operational laws at work in the process!

You can also channel unwanted thoughts and emotions into specular hematite stones, which can absorb a lot of them. These stones can move those emotions out of you and into a safe place. Many magical practitioners carry these stones around in their pockets for just this purpose. They cleanse them every month or so by smudging them with sage and pine resin to keep them clean.

Sudden Health Crisis? Don't Panic! There is Always a Magical Solution

There are so many different categories of magical techniques that no matter what health crisis you are facing, there is always a magical solution you can employ. Energy healing is one category of magical techniques that can be a magical solution for healing yourself or others. Basically energy healing involves a variety of techniques that bring a person's energetic state back into balance. Our Energy Healing For Self and Others ebook starts off presenting some of the basic principles underlying magical healing work. These principles are:

1. Anything Can Be Healed – There is always hope and no matter how severe a condition is, healing is always a possibility.

2. Anybody Can Heal – It is a natural and intended process for human beings to heal. Most people don't do healing work because they have not learned how to access their natural healing abilities.

3. Energy Healing – Since everything in the Universe is made up of energy, healing work is all about working with energy. Everything is composed of energy which is constantly moving or in a state of vibration and everything has its own unique electro-magnetic field. When energy becomes disharmonious or is out of balance the result is often illness, pain and disease. A person or animal with an illness has basically moved into an energy state that is not a match for their natural vibrational state. Through magical healing, the vibrational state is adjusted and brought back into balance.

4. Letting Go – Most diseases and illness are brought about by some issue, hurt or past (possibly past life) situation that a person has not been able to "let go" of. Energy healing can help release the emotion that is attracting the condition so that spontaneous healing from the body's own intelligence can occur.

5. You Don't Lose Healing Knowledge – The knowledge you gain in one lifetime carries over to your next lifetime. You don't lose that knowledge no matter how many lifetimes you transition into. This is why some people seem to be naturals at doing magical healing work. They have simply spent more than one lifetime already studying healing. So even if you are struggling to learn magical healing techniques in this lifetime, don't worry, you will be even better prepared in your next.

6. Evolution of Healing – Our race is always learning and evolving and therefore the illnesses and diseases we have do too. For example, in the past smallpox and the plague were the focus for healing work and today healing work is needed more for heart disease, AIDS and cancers. For this reason, healers must also continue to learn, grow through expansion of their understanding and sensitivity and evolve through their own spiritual growth.

If these principles have intrigued you or resonated with you in any way, then maybe Spirit is telling you that you are ready to start exercising your innate healing abilities. You really can heal your life on a variety of levels with magical solutions. Our Energy Healing ebook can help get you started on your path towards magical healing.

Take a Long Moment to Change Your Life Magically

One of the many tools available to shamans is the manipulation of time. A shaman is skilled in being able to go forward or backwards in time to add to their research or for healing purposes. For example, a shaman my need to go back to a past life event to help someone understand what happened in that past life that is contributing to an issue the person is experiencing in this lifetime. You, too can start learning to manipulate time magically by experimenting with the "long moment".

What is the Long Moment?
The long moment is an art which utilizes the ability to slow one's perception of certain events in order to see what really is happening in present time. Another name for this long moment is the Cortothalamic Pause. This is a useful tool to slow life down and be able to form an appropriate response instead of giving a mechanical response or more likely reaction to a situation. For most people there is a 3 step process they go through that leads to responding to events and situations with a mechanical reaction. They are:

1. We receive an incoming perception: ie. - A person speaks loudly to us
2. The perception is immediately routed by our flow of associations to a certain place in our memory: ie. - In this or a past life, we have memories of loud voices and anger.
3. The perception is assigned a meaning: ie. - The person is angry with us.

These steps happen very quickly, less than a second usually and lead to a reaction of however each of us responds to an angry person. We don't take the time usually to consider that there may be other feelings involved and that we are assigning our own interpretation to another's actions. This leads often to overreactions at the moment and causes more problems. If you had a Cortothalamic Pause, you would not react out of your own memory, but rather be able to slow the event down, be totally present in the "now", and form a more appropriate response.


The Magic of the Cortothalamic Pause
Using the Cortothalamic Pause to slow yourself at the moment you receive an incoming piece of data allows you to stretch time. In this long moment you give yourself the power to evaluate the information you have received and give a true response. You may think this sounds difficult, but all it really takes to master this art is practice. Start out twice a day practicing this skill. When someone asks you a question or asks you to do something, stop everything inside yourself for 2 seconds. Stop all thought and consideration. Get quiet. Then respond to the person. For a while you won't actually be able to stop your internal thoughts, but you will be able to see all the mechanical reactions and thoughts that immediately spring up. You may be surprised at the massive and often chaotic activity that happens inside yourself. It will give you true insight into the way you interact with life.

Flower Essences To Help with the Cortothalamic Pause
You can increase the likelihood of being able to take a Cortothalamic Pause by using these flower essences daily:

• Lavender and Chamomile for calming
• White Chestnut for reducing repetitive thoughts
• Thyme for helping to manipulate Time

My Magical Healing Experience

With gratitude to the Esoteric School, my classmates and teacher, I would like to share my recent magical healing experience. As a student in the advanced magic class, I have been studying and practicing magic for about 12 years. I have had many amazing experiences and witnessed events that 15 or 20 years ago I would never have believed possible. In the Fall of 2012 our class undertook a project to pick one student at a time, address physical concerns and conditions each one had and work on those concerns through magical healing techniques.

I have used magical healing techniques on others and witnessed the positive results, but I had never found myself on the receiving end of being healed by others. When it came to my turn, I was reluctant to share my health concern as I found it a bit embarrassing. For years I have had severe trouble with my digestive system. Ok, no beating around the bush, I'll just spit it out... I am talking almost daily cramping and diarrhea attacks - between six and ten a day. I had been diagnosed many years ago with Grave's Disease, a thyroid disorder. Not knowing any better at the time, I let the doctor radiate my thyroid making it inactive. As time went on I learned how much the thyroid does and began having symptoms related to my now inactive thyroid. Over the last few years when my digestive tract problem kicked in I attributed it to being another symptom of the inactive thyroid. I found that with natural supplements and tinctures as well as a prescription medication I was able to cope fairly well with almost all the symptoms. But for the last few years the digestive tract problem just got worse. I had to cut out more and more foods and drinks from my diet to get by at all. Coffee, spicy foods, fried foods, anything from a restaurant and especially fast food restaurants all became taboo. By the time it was my turn to be the subject of our class project I had not been able to leave my house at all for about 3 weeks as I never knew when the dreaded diarrhea attack would happen. I was desperate, miserable and I couldn't get anything done what with spending so much time on the toilet. My diet at this point was basically just brown rice every meal every day as it was the only thing I could find that didn't irritate the problem. As often happens when you live a life of magic, what you need comes just when you need it. At my most desperate point, this class project came along.

So I gathered up my courage and shared my condition with my classmates and teacher. They all agreed to work on me and were very gracious about what I perceived to be an embarrassing situation. This was at the end of November 2012 and it is now April 2013. That is over 5 months of amazingly good health. I have had none of my previous symptoms including the diarrhea attacks. The tiredness, dry skin, heartburn, acid reflux, fluctuations in weight and lack of energy are all gone. And best of all I have been able to eat Mexican food, eat out with no adverse effects, eat all kinds of foods I hadn't been able to for a long time AND even drink coffee again.

It would take too long in this format to go through all the various magical healing techniques used by my classmates and teacher, but I will tell you that our class meets by teleconference because we all live in different states so all the healing was done remotely. Some of the techniques used for our magical healings included Harold McCoy type healing magic, simulacra healing magic and out of body travel. Spirit guides were involved in most cases and gave guidance also. I know that besides working on what my teacher decided was leaky gut syndrome, my thyroid was also worked on and re-activated.

Even though I have been practicing magic for many years and seen many amazing magical things, I still found myself amazed that the magical healing work done on me was so effective. I am so very grateful to my magical circle of classmates and my teacher for this gift of magic healing. Magic just never ceases to amaze me with what can be accomplished and how it is just so, well... magical!

Psychic Surgery - Real or Bogus?

The world of magic is filled with strange psychic phenomena of all kinds, and a wide variety of people who want to develop their psychic powers. Others simply need some "psychic help" but are not sure who to trust, or whether psychic powers really exist.

A common example that falls into this realm of doubt is psychic surgery. We are frequently asked whether psychic surgery (or the application of psychic energy to the body) can heal illnesses, diseases, and other chronic conditions.

In general, the answer is "Yes." When done properly, following the Rules of the Road and the properties of the four elements on this planet, psychic surgery is a viable option for healing. Having said that, for psychic surgery to be successful, you need to work with someone who has the proper knowledge and experience.

2 Examples of Psychic Surgery
Back in the early 70s when I lived in Boulder, CO and everyone was into everything psychic (well, maybe not everyone ...) I developed a blockage in my stomach region which could not be diagnosed with any certainty. A friend suggested I work with a psychic surgeon. With serious doubts, I agreed. During the surgery, the psychic asked me to close my eyes. I felt nothing except for his fingers pressing and probing around the area of the blockage.

After the surgery was complete, he showed me the blockage he had removed from my system, neatly encased in a jar. It looked like a chicken heart or an oval grayish sponge of some kind. I never knew how the psychic did what he did, and it did not matter to me at the time. I was free of the stomach blockage, which was of great relief.

Now, many years later, I have a much better understanding of how psychic surgery occurs, based on universal and elemental laws and properties. Let's take the example of a decayed tooth under a crown. The decay is inaccessible because of the crown, and is also eroding the bone holding the tooth in place. An oral surgeon would need to pull the crown and tooth, wait for the bone to grow back, and then put in an implant and new crown. End result? Mission accomplished but very expensive.

Psychic surgery is another alternative. From a magical viewpoint, the problem boils down into 2 parts:

1. Infection/decay in the tooth and bone - Fire energy
2. Unstable bone due to decay - lack of Earth energy

To use magic or psychic surgery to correct the problem, a practitioner would:

1. Pull red-orange and yellow-orange out of the tooth and bone to reduce the inflammation.
2. Flow bright red and deep red through an athame into the area to cauterize and seal the area of decay.
3. Flow water blue energy through a chalice to rinse away any leftover decay or detritus.
4. Flow grass green and earth brown through a plate (pentacle) to regrow bone and stabilize the tooth.

If you think this sounds too good to be true-or too simple to achieve results-then you probably won't be signing up for psychic surgery anytime soon. However, rest assured that in the right hands and with the right tools, psychic healing does occur on a regular basis.

Psychic surgery gives you options. That is the beauty of a magical practice-you are not limited to the skills and resources available only on the visible earth plane. So long as you understand and can manipulate the four elements of Air, Fire, Water, and Earth, you can achieve just about anything in this Universe!

How Do You Know if Your Magical Healing Worked?

Magical healing is one area of magic and shamanic practice that can be truly tricky. Suppose you perform a magical healing ritual on someone or do a remote healing. The person gets better and you feel great.

But then the doubt creeps in. You begin wondering whether you were responsible for the healing or if the person was going to get better anyway. Or maybe your healing and the person's recovery were just coincidental-they just happened to occur at the same time. Or perhaps the person's angels and guides stepped in and performed the healing, and your magic had nothing to do with the person's recovery.

That kind of self-doubt most assuredly will drive you crazy and interfere with your ability to effectively practice magic. When it comes to practicing any kind of magic, here's one rule that will help you keep self-doubt out of the picture:

Never allow your magic to be tested.

People who don't believe in magic will commonly challenge magic practitioners to "prove" their magic by passing certain tests. This does nothing but introduce self-doubt into your practice. This rule applies to you as well. Don't try to "test" your own magical abilities or trying to figure out if you really healed someone.

The best position to take when it comes to magical healing is realize that you doing magic for your benefit and for the benefit of others, should they choose to make use of it. According to master dowser Harold McCoy, who has assisted in many miraculous healings, we are not and cannot be the sole instruments of remote healing. Healing is usually a combined effort between healer, client, and higher beings. If any part of this equation is missing, such as when the client refuses healing energy, healing will not occur. At the same time, when healing does occur, no single party in the equation is responsible. Instead, it's a group effort.

As Harold himself puts it, "I just do these things and the person gets better. I don't know that there is any connection, or what that may be, but it doesn't matter!" This is a failsafe position for magical healing. You know there is a connection between your magical act and the healing, but you don't have to know the exact nature of the connection. This lets you off the hook when it comes to self-doubt.

Need More Magical Healing Help?
Check out Harold's seven principles for magical healing work:

1. Never turn anyone down.
2. Be always 100% committed.
3. Always get permission.
4. Always invoke your guides and angels.
5. Don't charge, but accept donations.
6. There are no failures.
7. We don't diagnose nor cure.
