I did the same thing a few months ago, Joy, I got myself an account for a few meditation videos and to listen to Native American music,and all sorts of stuff I was interested in and never even thought to consider finding it on YouTube!

About the healing touch, when I worked in a nursing home as a nurses aide, I would go up to certain patients and just talk to them softly and touch them gently and it would always bring a smile to their faces, or calm them down,no matter how much pain they were in or how upset they were at the time. : )

The lady I sit with now, I always ask her if she's having pain in her arms,and if she does,I give her the healing touch and I walk away, then I wait a little while & ask her, if she's still in pain,and she's not. : )

When you are touched by someone in a good way,

your body/Spirit./ feels the love and it increases the

love in your body.

love is happiness.

A happy person WILL heal faster than a sad,depressed

person.

this might not be proven by any million dollar

research,

but thous of us that are in touch with our Spirit

KNOW this!!

Spiritual freedom is my birthright.

I am a free thinker. I am able to rise above mental

prejudices and stereotypes of others.

I am a free thinker. Nobody and nothing can manipulate

me or deceive me.

I am a free thinker. I freely choose truth and love.

Today, I embrace a greater degree of spiritual

freedom.

I think it's natural, I have not had any training as far as healing goes, (yet anyway)and, if I had known then what I know now (about myself) I'd a done A LOT more for my patients.

But everything happens the way it does for a reason : ) I do have a rather large cheering section on the other side..lol I must have done something right : )

Always good to hear! (about the previous lives,I have only seen 1 got that impression while I was there,but I was there for another reason,sokinda got caught up in that :] ) and Thank You, Joy.

I don't know if I have up load an e-book yet, if I haven't I will now. It's called "The Occult Principles of Health". Mystic may have already loaded.

Now before anyone gets worried, here is the true meaning of occult: oc·cult (-klt, klt)

1. Of, relating to, or dealing with supernatural influences, agencies, or phenomena.

2. Beyond the realm of human comprehension; inscrutable.

3. Available only to the initiate; secret: occult lore. See Synonyms at mysterious.

5.

b. Not accompanied by readily detectable signs or symptoms: occult carcinoma.

n.

Occult practices or techniques: a student of the occult.
