First I want to speak of the Palm Chakras. The chakras in the palms of the hands transmit healing energy. The palm chakras are used to channel healing energies to yourself and to others and to receive impressions of the energy of a room, person, situation, etc. Practice in becoming aware of the energy of the palm chakras is a good place to start if you are interested in energy work, spiritual healing or in any of the psychic arts.

The main chakra in the hands is located in the palms of both hands. You also have minor chakras in your feet. Depending on the "dominant" hand or foot, (the one you use most), one sends out energy and the other pulls it in.

If you are right handed, then your left handed chakra pulls in the energy and your right one sends it out. You can detect negative or positive energy in people with your hands, if you really concentrate on using them. But first let me explain that statement.

A master of healing advised this recently, and I thought it especially enlightening, so if you are considering healing, consider these words also. In the last few decades, we have become impersonal beings. We no longer touch. We no longer feel. We no longer get involved in humanity. Because of this, the hands are not recieving the earth energys any more, nor do they receive the closeness and warmth that comes of sharing with others.

Many afflictions have arisen because of this, such as arthritis, carpal tunnel in the wrists, shin splints in the legs, among others. We need to take the time to feel again, so that we can detect negative energy if we need to, and positive as well. We need that feeling of friendship and caring of our fellowman as well to stay in balance. We need to take the time to cleanse our hands and feet, and learn to work with them in todays society.

We must send white light into our hands, and spend more time doing things with the earth. Pick something up and touch it, feel it. Unfortunately, we go about our normal everyday business, never taking a second glance at what we are touching or feeling. When you shake someone's hand, for instance, do you take the time to "feel" this persons hand and energies? Can you feel the callouses or the softness? Roughness or smallness? Warmth perhaps? Or do you just shake the hand and not even think about it, or notice anything at all? We have lost touch with humanity in our rush to bigger and better things....or so we think.

Both the hand and feet chakra can pick up negative energys. Have you ever felt depressed and nasty after being around someone who has had a bad day? You can walk on ground that has negative energy in it from a previous person as well, and acquire more negative energy yourself simply from treading on it. Then, once again, you will require a cleansing. Grounding exercises are good for the feet, like walking barefoot on the grass, dirt, etc. You can do this in your house if it's winter, but if there has been someone there recently with negative energy, then you may have to use salt here also to cleanse with. Soak your feet in salt water & scrub them down. Use white light, if you like. Do something soothing.

When tapping into negative energy on another, you picked up whatever may be blocking those chakras. It then becomes important to do a cleansing on yourself to get rid of those negative energys. A salt wash is good with reiki or a corresponding gem or crystal. White light will also do it. Whenever you do a cleansing on your feet and hands, clean each finger tip..palms..wrist, toes, ankles, foot sole & top,etc.

When washing your hands, just add salt to them. It is a purifier. Some use reiki, another healing technique. Some even use essential oils and lotions. And then some will use a stone. The preference is really up to the individual. To use a stone, you need a stone that draws out negative energy like apache tears, hemitite, or some other black stone. Then you hold it in your hands (both palms) and use it to ground yourself with and scraping off any negativity. Visualization is the key here.

PROCEDURES FOR USING PALM CHAKRAS and HANDS ON TREATMENTS

• PROCEDURE I: Treat the diseased organ directly. Have the patient sit up, if possible, and place the right palm directly over the organ on the front of the body, and the left palm on the back of the body directly behind it. Send energy to the organ, with it sandwiched between your palms, for an extended period of time. See the energy penetrating the body, front to back, and into the affected organ. Treat 1 to 2 times per week, depending on severity.
• PROCEDURE II: Many incorporate acupressure into this treatment. As you are working on the chakras, you apply whatever pressure or massage is needed to heal the area you are working on. Apply firm pressure, never painful, uncomfortable on diseased acupressure points, yes, but never, ever painful enough to cause severe distress.
• Always spend extra time on the chakra nearest the affected organ. This chakra will often give off an unhealthy feel, show poor color, be blocked, or draw extra energy during hand placement if you are using touch therapy.
• ALSO Please note: When treating children, do not treat them overlong. Use around one-half to one-third the usual amount of time at each chakra position. Children should not receive treatment except every 8 or 9 days.
• Mental Disorders: Always ask your doctor first. For patients with psychological disorders, it is impossible to predict the effect of treatment. You must proceed with caution. For emotionally or mentally disturbed patients, perform a short treatment first, and then check with the patient, during a 24-hour period afterwards, to ensure no ill effects. Should treatments prove safe, you will find that a standard treatment will be very beneficial.
• NO HANDS: When the hands can not be placed on the body, such as with burns, abrasions, lacerations etc, then the hands may instead be placed 3 to 5 inches above the afflicted area, and the energy transfered in this way. Note please that it will not be as effective as when the hands are used directly on the body.
