Healing Gift Information
Welcome to The Healing Gift Of Healing – an
absolutely FANTASTIC healing technique that is both ancient
as well as modern, with a thousand and one uses, that can
make the world a different place for you, for the people you
love, for the people you don’t love, and for those who you
haven’t even met yet.
It may be that the act of giving The Healing Gift can
make changes at a far wider level too; as more and more
minds become involved in this wonderful process, we might
well have the opportunity to permanently influence matters
on a profound plane of reality.
Having worked professionally with Energy Therapies for
many years, I am very aware that we receive far more
information and insight about the nature of reality around
us than we could consciously ever understand, or evaluate,
or even respond to.
Much of this information is invisible – but you can still
feel it and it certainly has the power to make you happy and
bright, or to bring you down; it is this information or
knowledge that makes the hair on your neck rise on entering
specific buildings; that gives you a strange feeling in the
pit of your stomach before the telephone has even rang, and
that accounts for “gut level responses” to people,
situations, proposals and ideas.
When you are engaged with another in any kind of healing
relationship, and this could be both as a professional
therapist or just listening to a friend who is in trouble
and you are trying to help them somehow, both you and I have
the power to help in a most profound way – if only we knew
how to transfer our invisible and unspoken understandings
into action in some way.
The Healing Gift is the bridge over which your deep and
unspoken understanding and your knowing about how to help
can travel to the other person. It is easy to give, any
human alive can do this – children are especially good at it
- and you will know that a change has occurred when you have
given The Healing Gift.
What exactly happens when you give The Healing Gift is a
mystery. It has been suggested that you could be making a
healing adjustment to the other’s energy system, or maybe
that you adjust the flow of the meridians through their
bodies, or perhaps align a chakra or two in just the right
way. I’m not sure what happens, only that something happens,
that it feels wonderful and right, and that it creates
positive change both for the giver and for the receiver.
I invite you to try it for yourself. The Healing Gift is
a simple thing yet endlessly applicable in its very
simplicity and profoundly useful and helpful in many
situations.

How To Give The Healing Gift
Very simply, we are going to ask for a metaphorical
representation of our unique contribution to the person to
whom we are going to give The Healing Gift.
The name metaphor means a container – and in the case of
The Healing Gift, our metaphor will “contain” whatever the
person needs from us at this precise moment in time and
space. It could be an understanding, a special vibration of
love, something that might remove a certain negative energy,
something that could unblock something, or provide
nourishment in some way, support, an embrace, a space of
silence or perhaps sanctuary or sustenance.
We do not need to consciously understand what it is that
we are giving; and I am saying “consciously understand”
because when you have given The Healing Gift, you will have
a different kind of understanding – you will know that it
was the right thing to give, because it “feels right”. You
might not be able to explain in words how it was the right
thing – but then, metaphor and intuition are from the
unspeakable realms, where what exists is beyond words, and
that’s just fine.
So, for a moment, consider a person to whom you might
like to give The Healing Gift.
Allow yourself to consider them in all ways, and beyond
the face they may be wearing, beyond their social status and
clothes, beyond their problems and successes, beyond any
love or jealousy you might have for them.
Consider them and then ask yourself this question:
At this time, at this moment,
I ask what gift of healing
I can give to this person.
Relax and let an idea or image bubble up in your mind.
This image, sound, feeling or idea is the container that
will carry your unique healing gift to the other.
Here are some examples of gifts that appeared when the
question was asked:
- a small blue and red bird
- a multi coloured spiral
- a small tree in a flower pot
- a pair of wings
- a huge field of green grass
- a luminous white dove
- a warm blue cloak to wrap around your shoulders
- the sound of ocean
- what looked like a beach ball at first and turned
out to be Planet Earth.
Now, take your time to consider the person and find a
gift for them. Don’t argue with your choice and accept
whatever springs to mind; your conscious mind doesn’t know
enough to know what would be the perfect gift but your
unconscious mind does, and that is the place from where the
metaphor arises.
Most people more than readily can think of something.
Should your mind go blank, you can either leave the request
to keep working on it and send it to you as a “flash of
insight” at any time within the next few days; or you may
consider which colour might be good for this person, and
then just imagine a gift box with a matching ribbon on top
in that colour and trust that your perfect gift will be
inside that box.
Now, imagine the person and imagine offering The Healing
Gift to them. This part of the pattern creates the transfer
from you to them and represents your intention to be of
help.
That is all you have to do. From then on, whatever
happens next, will happen under its own processes as the
interaction unfolds and the changes are made.
Some things you might notice or come across when you give
The Healing Gift are as follows:
- Sometimes when you think of
the person, they appear very different to what they
normally look like – they may appear older, younger, may
be dressed differently than in “real life”, or may be
expressing emotions through their body postures that you
are not normally aware of. This is perfectly normal and
it is a sign that you are seeing who they really are.
- Often, you might experience
strong emotions yourself when The Healing Gift has come
to your mind. Again, this is in a way the correct
reaction to this process and it tells you that it is
working. Emotions and energetic states are inextricably
linked in a single system.
- So far, every person who was
offered a healing gift received it most gratefully –
some with tears, some with astonishment and gratitude
and some with childlike delight. It is conceivable
however that a gift might be rejected. Should this
happen, you could ask what they would prefer to have
from you instead – there is something that is absolutely
unique to you for them, that they cannot get from anyone
or anywhere else. If you feel you can fill the request,
go ahead; but you also have the right to not fill it if
it seems inappropriate or feels less than good to you.
- Pay attention to your self
when sending The Healing Gift. It is often as profound
an experience to give it as it is to receive it.
- It is not necessary to tell
people about The Healing Gift, although with good
friends it adds another dimension to the process and if
you can discuss the nature of these gifts, gain
tremendous insights into many things.
- You can give The Healing
Gift just while talking to someone and without them
knowing anything about it. Briefly focus on a place
beyond their physical body, and you may be able to
imagine an astral copy of the person to whom you will
give The Healing Gift. When you do this, pay attention
to how the other person responds when The Healing Gift
is given. Some people lose their train of thought, some
look over their shoulder; they are aware that something
has happened which, indeed, it has. Note also how after
a giving of The Healing Gift the nature of the whole
interaction seems to change for the better.
- Remember that The Healing
Gift represents an energetic exchange, in spite of the
often seemingly simple or mundane metaphorical object
that carries your intention across. Energetic exchanges
are felt not heard or measured with a Geiger counter;
pay close attention to your feelings and your emotions
when give The Healing Gift because that is how you will
know that you have done something important.
The original pattern of The Healing Gift was developed
for healers and therapists who were suffering from extreme
overwhelm when faced with deeply unhappy, physically and
mentally scarred people who were suffering from a lifetime
of neglect, terrible trauma and lovelessness.
The Healing Gift creates a straightforward method for
their unique healing energies and intentions to go the right
places for that individual, and most importantly, helped
them to no longer feel overwhelmed and helpless. The
negative emotions of helplessness and conscious overwhelm
disappear when you use The Healing Gift to help others, and
in so doing, are a gift to you.
Interestingly, sometimes it happens that a person to whom
you have given The Healing Gift, will offer one in return to
you – and I don’t mean people who you have told about having
sent them a gift and who will nearly always reciprocate
likewise automatically, but those you imagined offering a
gift to.
Needless to say, please receive it in gratitude. As we
have said before, this is an energetic exchange and energy
needs to flow freely both from you to them, and from them to
you.
You can also give yourself a gift in the same way as you
would to another person.
This is an interesting exercise on many levels and it is
intrinsically very different from other people’s gifts as it
will be your own energy you are using instead of a different
flavour which comes from another person.
You may consider gifts for “past selves” or your inner
child – perhaps there was a time in your life that was very
traumatic, or you “used to be a different person” which
usually means, a worse person. To give those parts of
yourself gifts can help to re-align them, ease their
suffering and to help them grow and heal. It is possible
that there are certain “past you’s” that cannot be healed by
anyone other than you yourself.
As this is a spiritual healing pattern from the quantum
realms, you might like to ask for a healing gift from a
future self to come to you, right now.
To your future self, you ARE still a child within ...
As it is the case that people pop up in our lives in
order to be a mirror to us and our own problems, and as it
is also the case that my sister-in-law always gives me
presents she would liked to have received, you might
consider when you have given a few gifts to your loved ones,
which one of those gifts you would like to have received as
well, and give yourself the same one, too.
As my intuition increases, I used to find it harder and
harder to travel on public transport or be in crowded
places, simply because of the general unhappiness,
loneliness and suffering that was emanating from the people
around me.
For example, I saw an Indian lady with many heavy bags at
a train station. Although I helped her carry the bags onto
the train, there was so much sadness and physical suffering
around her like a dark grey fog that she hardly seemed to
notice me. I gave her a tropical garden, and she took a
deep, deep breath and seemed to become alive and aware of
her surroundings.
I then went through all the passengers of the train
compartment, one by one and felt myself getting lighter and
more comfortable with each gift given and hungrily received.
I received a number of gifts in return also and left the
train full of energy and brighter than I had been in years.
What I believe is that The Healing Gift is a stepping
stone, a learning process that will allow us to do this type
of work automatically and without us having to even give
attention to it once we are fully familiar with its
workings.
I would invite you to try it for yourself, and note what
difference it makes to you and your individual dealings with
strangers and passers by.
Animals (wild animals and domesticated animals) are
extremely aware of energetic shifts of all kinds, and they
too can receive The Healing Gift. Further, their feedback to
receiving The Healing Gift is immediate and clearly visible
in their physiology, their body postures and their
subsequent behaviour. Here are a few examples of healing
gifts for animals:
- a gift bow (for a dog which later turned out to have
been “an unwanted gift”);
- a foal (for a mare who was highly strung – as soon
as the owner thought of the foal the mare stopped dead,
relaxed right out and stood very quietly, with her head
drooping);
- a blue green blanket (for a dog who then came into
the room for “no good reason” lay down, at full stretch,
exactly in the spot the blanket “had appeared” to the
owner).
If you remember, the original gift pattern was designed
to help with overwhelm.
What can be more overwhelming than global healing issues
such as world pollution, world hunger, the suffering of all
the children, all the animals, global warming, wars and
famines, and so forth?
What causes depression and overwhelm is the thought
“There is nothing I can do”.
With The Healing Gift, there is something you
can do now beside recycling and donating to
charity, and I believe that every one of us who addresses
such issues at the energetic level in this way actually does
make a difference.
As The Healing Gift pattern does not require much
meditation, time or effort other than conscious volition to
do it now it is a perfect beginning to start to use our
abilities to make changes at the energetic level on healing
global issues too.
What gift of healing will you give to the world today? To
The Children? To Humanity? Whatever you have to contribute,
know that it is uniquely yours to contribute – no-one else
in the world can give this gift the way you do – and that it
will make a difference.
This is a fascinating
thing indeed and a different take on the topic of spiritual
healing - healing spirits.
In general, this can refer to "the spirit of the land"
for example - the spirit of the land can be sad and
disturbed, broken or raped; but it can also refer to
actually healing spirits as in ghosts
Here are some stories received about using The Healing
Gift in practise. I would very much like to hear your
experience with The Healing Gift, too. Please mail me at the
address at the end of this article to contribute.
“A friend came to visit me who is in a very unhappy
relationship. I listened to her for a long while but began
to feel more and more uncomfortable in the face of her anger
and couldn’t think of what to do other than to just go along
with it and hope she’d tire of it soon. I remembered The
Healing Gift from the newslist, and focussed on what I could
be giving her. As soon as I thought of it, a white dove
appeared before me. It was carrying a long flowy red ribbon
in its beak, and fluttered in midair. I stared in awe.
After I got over my surprise, I *gave* it to my friend,
mentally released it to her. Instantly, she stopped
talking. The entire mood of the room calmed, and she tied
up a few loose ends and left, calm and confident.”
“This metaphorical gift giving solves a huge dilemma I
have had weighing on my heart. I recently spent time with
some very old friends and was quite disturbed by the way
they are treating their children, and by their troubled 13
year old son. These are not people I can confront or help
right now, and their kids live across the country from me so
I can't establish a relationship and help that way. But I
CAN go inside myself everytime I think of it, and send
whatever seems appropriate at that moment. It has been a
wonderful relief to me.”
“I heard that a dear friends father had died suddenly. I
wanted to do/say something to help but was in a spin,
couldn't find the right words, so I settled myself down and
pictured my friend and his father, immediately I knew that
the 'gift' was a very special poem about laughter. Later on
I was tapping for my friend but it just didn't feel
right, I couldn't find the right thing to tap on....until
your mail arrived. It was so obvious I couldn't see it. Now
I know that the greatest gift that I can energetically send
at this time is laughter. Thank you for putting into words
what I knew but couldn't see.”
“I have been troubled by feeling very negative – hateful –
towards a certain person recently. When I got the message
about The Healing Gift, it occurred to me to try it on that
person to see if it would make any difference. Immediately,
a huge black raven sprang to mind. I was worried that it
might be something bad and hesitated, but it looked very
beautiful and powerful so I decided to trust my unconscious
mind and send it anyway. I felt better immediately as I
“saw” the raven flying away all purposefully and actually
found it hard to get back those feelings of negativity about
the person. Later, someone told me this: “The raven on the
Shamanic Medicine Wheel is the guardian of in absentia
healing and it's medicine is considered needed to bridge the
Void, to reach the collective unknown.” I had no idea of
that but WOW. What a gift – and just what that person must
have needed. And what I needed to do to regain balance in my
mind.”
“Today, a friend stopped by. He was tripping out,
exploding with ideas, and I began to feel overwhelmed with
his energy. I thought of The Healing Gift, and a small
speckled egg appeared in front of me. It was a lovely
greenish bluish greyish color, with brownish spots. I just
stared at it for a moment, sort of cherishing it. Then I
released it to him. I was watching his face as I gave him
this egg. He stopped in mid word and just stared at me, and
asked me what he'd been saying. He said, "Something just
happened. everything is different." so I told him about the
egg. he teased me about having *egged* him. Then he said
that the sensation he was experiencing was a sort of
encapsulation. about a half hour later, he was again
escalating his thought process, and my attention drifted
back to the egg. I replayed it in my mind, and as I did so,
he again stopped, looked at me, and asked if I'd egged him
again. I hadn't meant to! We laughed about it. Now I can't
wait to use this with my kids, and my ex when he stops by &
begins to attack me. This is truly the simplest thing I've
ever done, and the results are remarkable.”
“I was in this doctor’s office with a replacement doctor
because the regular one was on holiday. This was a woman of
about 50. She spent the first ten minutes apologising to me
that she wasn’t the real doctor and kept asking me if I
wanted to wait until the "real" doctor was back again. I
thought of The Healing Gift and what came to mind was a
single red rose. Whilst she was still apologising, I
imagined a ghost shape of me giving the rose to a ghost
shape of her, it took it and said quite loudly in a tearful
voice, “No-one has ever given me one of these before.” At
that moment, the real woman stopped talking and looked over
her shoulder, in the same direction where I was seeing the
ghost shape. She took a deep breath and seemed confused for
a bit, then she smiled at me and said, “Well, lets find out
how can I help you”.
“The morning after I received The Healing Gift on the
list, I was out walking and saw a woman shouting and
screaming at her dog in the park. For some reason I wondered
if I could give a gift to the poor dog and I thought of a
big red ribbon, like a gift bow. I send it to the dog and
then went on to say hello to the woman. She was very angry
at first but calmed down, and then told me that dog had been
“an unwanted gift”. I nearly burst out into tears on the
spot.”
“One of my best and oldest friends is dying. I lay in bed
and couldn’t sleep for tears although I kept telling myself
it was all for the best and that he was going home. I was
exhausted and at 3am, I called up an image of my friend and
began to give him all sorts of gifts, dozens of them, until
he smiled and stopped me and gave me a gift instead – it was
a big white Indian blanket with symbols painted on it which
he wrapped about me. I don’t know what happened or how but I
felt really warm all of a sudden. I stopped crying and went
to sleep. Thinking about it now, I think The Healing Gift
was always about me.”
Working with real energy to heal, solve problems, or even
just to have fun with finding out what your mind of energy
can do for you, is both one of the most ancient human
endeavours as well as being now at the absolute cutting edge
of mind-body technologies.
This is a vastly under-rated, underestimated and
underexplored domain of virtually limitless potential that
is easy to access and comes naturally to most people.
