I'm looking into various types of healings...

I got the entheogens, but what other methods of healing are good?

Tuning forks? Crystals? I want stuff based in science not new age crazy mumbo-jumbo.

Even healing techinques like chanting... anything that has shown effective, I'd like to know about.

Do you understand the scientific method? Might be something to google. My point is you can use the scientific method with any modality; the views of scientists currently working in industry and academia really are not relevant unless you are trying to get ahead in those areas.

As for recommending a healing modality that may not be the best way to do it - identify what you want to change and then look for an applicable method, review and continue or switch modalities as needed until the desired change has happened. Consider shampoo There is no point me swearing by my brand as our hair and scalp types are going to be different.

Maybe a better idea would be to share the best methods for choosing a modality according to your needs and knowledge of who to talk to should you need further help. This would requirte a tad more info though - no point recommending natural yoghurt if your having a spiritual crisis or pranayama if you have yeast growing on your wilkins

Good post!

Anymore ideas?

Perhaps I wasnt clear enough. You need to specify what you are looking for then I can offer some pointers. To prompt your thoughts consider if the issue is:

• physical
• mental
• spiritual / philosophical
• circumstantial
• interpersonal
• environmental

and then think about how you want to approach it:

• directly (ie going for bereavement counseling)
• indirectly (ie exploring grief in a story or song)
• self help
• with a professional
• with a group of like minds

of course you may find that the issue and / or the solution covers more than one category. Thats ok its just to give you some options. The more you think about these things the easier it is to see the best way to tackle them and its often not the obvious thing to do.

You should also have a think about what sources of information could help you and where to find them. Even if you choose to get the support of a pro you should always see yourself as a equal partner in terms of responsibility for your recovery / growth. Think about the way you learn best then look for relevant info - ie do you learn best from books or are you more visual etc.

Sounds complicated and I guess it can be but then thats why us mages call it the great work

I've got alot to learn...

One great healing tek I have learned recently is the Hamsa yoga ShivShakti kriya, a form of yogic spinal breathing that pays dividends in health and transformative energy.

Anything you do with your mind being focused on healing (yours or for any sentient beings) will have positive effects. Of course, use your brain, and don't be a dumb ass. Drinking a bottle of whiskey and driving a tank thinking of healing might not have all positive effects;)

You mentionned having the entheogenes part. Entheogenes on their own are not a magic potion. Many use entheogenes and remain dumb asses with a selfish mind. Do remember that entheogenes are a TOOL, and only that. The value of the tool depends on the user. A monkey with a hammer is still a monkey;)

So, sing, dance, meditate, paint, pray, light a candle, walk, read sacred texts of the world, help a fellow human, wash your room, do nothing, etc. If your mind truly is focused on postiveness, ie, healing, it will bring postitiveness into your life. Fancy techniques have the same effects than a simple technique when used with a honest mind. It is always better to have a good mind and do simple things, than to use a fancy method with no good mind.

In the end, it is in you, and your true will to be positive, for yourself and all sentient beings. Doing work for others, helping fellow humans is one of the best forms of healing you can do.

Peace and happiness for your search:)
