"Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility regard others as better than yourselves~ Philippians 2.3"
The Healing Circle:
We held a "Healing Circle" at the end of our last Meditation for the Enetrepreneurial Spirit class and for the Meditation for Health and Healing class. This Healing Circle method was taught to me by my dear friend, Helaine, who is a powerful multi-talented healer and energy worker through numerology, astrology and tarot, and with clairvoyant reading. I would like to share this powerful method of group healing with all of you:
Sit in a circle with 3 to 5 other people, all holding hands. After a few minutes to clear your minds, ground your energies and relax into your bodies, one person begins the circle by offering a question or a request to the circle. Every person in the circle holds the same thought, visualizes the same outcome as the request. When the receiving person feels the completion of the transmission of healing energy or thought, he or she squeezes the hand of the person to his/her left, and the next person's request is heard. And so on. Each person in turn receives the love and support of many minds and hearts tuned to the same vibration of thought.
We usually go around the circle two or three times, requesting for others as well as for ourselves.
Examples of what people ask for: A peaceful resolution to a dispute with a loved one (give their first name); A smooth transition from one job to another; Please help me hold a space of Prosperity for my life and business during the holidays (or help with my perceptions of scarcity); Please help me heal from cancer through chemo-therapy (or radiation or alternatives, or nothing); My mother (brother, child, friend...) needs support for her health (school, divorce, death of loved one...)
Note: This is not a time to tell long stories about a condition or circumstance. This is an opportunity to feel the focus of the circle upon a simple, direct request. It is an opportunity to be opened and redirected, to receive what you have asked for.
The final thought-holding is for peace or healing harmony for all beings. Imagine a whole room full of people helping you to hold a space for local and global peace!
Note: After the circle is complete, it is appropriate to speak about the condition or circumstance as if it is resolving in a favorable way. Resist the temptation to tell the old story in the same old way; re-frame your perception into a positive reflection of what the Universe, through the Circle, is delivering.
I hope you and your friends will try this powerful and supportive healing circle. No special training or experience is necessary, just the focus of hearts and minds, willing to hold a space for another person to have what he or she wants and needs. A perfect way to give and receive blessings and grace.

Enjoyed reading about the healing circle. Would like to try this idea as a gift to a small group of residents at a local senior center.
Can you share some more simple ideas to help me get started.
Also does this sort of cirlcle really help those who may be suffering internally with some family problem or health or just are hurting.
Any tips and ideas would be helpful. Thanks

Hi GQ,
Let me just add that 'healing' is not about 'curing' or fixing. Healing circles create space for each person to receive healing thoughts from others. As Paty said, the energy is there and the group focuses that energy with a positive intention. When people feel loved, supported and deeply acknowledged, the soul is made whole again. Physical conditions may change; mental/emotional outlook will most certainly change. And that changes everything.
Keep it simple, read the examples again for ideas about how to ask, or what to put out for the circle's attention.
"I need help with my family problem" is a simple request. Or, "I would like a positive resolution for everyone in this family dilemma". No details are necessary and may distract from the focus.
Just get started!

After participating at the Healing Circle at the end of the Meditation for the Entrepreneurial Spirit class I felt so full of peace and joy that I am already organizing a small group of friends to have our own Healing Circle!
We will be sending also supportive thoughts to everyone in a 29 days cycle!
Golden Quill, I can tell you that these are powerful circles. We did it over the phone and the energy was really there. I believe that as long as the intention is clear and the group focuses from their heart on each of the participants requests you will be helped.
A big hug from Mexico,
Paty
