The last few years especially in India there has been a mushrooming of lot of Healing Technqiues and these are conducted mostly as 1 Day workshops or at the most Week End workshops and many of these Healing Technqiues has various levels in them Level-1 , Level-2 , Level-3 or Basic , Intermediate , Advanced etc and I was surprised to find that some Healing Technqiues have up to 9 levels of Healing Courses . I have attended a couple of these Healing Workshops myself but though they appear different in content they are mostly common in what they produce as a result of regular parctice which is a calm mind . All these various healing technqiues no doubt help our minds become calm and also feel bit energetic if we practice them daily for 30 mts of so ( most healing technqiues require us to minimum practice them for 30 mts ) and initially after attending these workshops many people get excited and start serioously practicing them and you can see a glow in their face and they are very enthusiastic and report good sleep , calm mind , able to solve some long standing problems that were struct and after this healing workshop they were able to identify those problems and address them . No doubt many of these Healing Workshops does help to bring in these changes in the initial days but the problem is after 3-6 months the same person is back to where he was before and in fact more frustrated with the extra guilt that he is unable to practice those healing technqiues and he comes with a list of complaints - lack of time to practice the healing technique , even if he/she has time they are unable to focus and do it properly , the healing technique does not work for all situations and then they have the doubt whether is there any fault in the Healing Technqiue or the fault is with them and so he/she enrols again for the next level of Same Healing or switches to another Healing and again the same thing continues - bubbling with joy the first few days /weeks and then back to square one after 3-6 months . I have come across people spending more than 10-15 years trying various Healing Technqiues and yet remain frustrated and bitter and not satisfied . Where is the fault ? Is the fault in the Individual or Is the fault with the various Healing Technqiues itself ? This blog post is basically to investigate that problem .
No individual is perfect and every individual carries a mind that is already filled with various mental conditioning through his birth , his family , his surroundings and these mental conditioning prevents him / her from having a smooth run in all departments of their respective life . Some may be expert in their job but very poor when it come in handling their personal relationships and vice versa and there is no quick fix solution for these problems . Each Individual has expertise in only one domain area and when he / she faces life that is multi dimensional then they find themselves challenged to address all these various dimensions effectively and when the fail to do so they end up stressed and finally enroll in these sort of healing programs to get some break and no doubt it does help them to address the problematic issue of their life for the time being but in the longer run these sort of healing technqiues will not help . Then what is the solution ? The simple answer is SELF KNOWLEDGE and that alone will help an invidual understand himself , the world and people around , the various situations and experiences he goes through and give him a broader picture to understand himself , his value systems , his strengths , his weakness and also how he can reduce his weakness gradually and also build up his strengths . There is no quick fix solution for this SELF KNOWLEDGE and it involves a long period of systematic study of Scriptures under an Authentic Teacher for a length of time and also reflecting on the same and slowly working out all the problamatic areas of his /her life step by step . This cannot happen in a single day or in a weekend and involves a long period of time as our mental patterns are so strong and bringing in the necessary changes will take a long time . Different people have different meaning for SELF KNOWLEDGE but here I refer to Vedantic Study of the Scriptures ( at least the Bhagavad Gita ) when it comes to SELF KNOWLEDGE .
But then are the various Healing Technqiues useless ? No They are not . They have a very good value but for them to be effective in the longer run they must be practiced along with the Systematic Study of the Scriptures ( at least the Bhagavad Gita ) for bringing in a very good psychological transformation in oneself .
