Healers achieve a special state of consciousness, spiritual knowledge, and self-realization through meditation. Eastern mystics consider humans the whole and identify themselves with the ultimate reality, and Divine who controls everything from within the body. With meditation techniques require the mind to be absolutely quieted, not thinking.
Meditation helps to shift awareness from the rational to the intuitive mode of consciousness.
Energy healers have to develop the ability to attain meditative mode of consciousness. For someone it seems a completely new experience. Nevertheless, any bio-energy work demands a healer to be in meditative state of mind. Stress and negative thinking or emotions can appear while the brain is in the beta state. Most adults live and work at the beta-wave frequency or typical working condition.
