BACK COVER OF BOOK Learn to heal yourself and others. Are You a Healer? Everyone has the ability to heal but most people do not pay attention to this wondrous skill. To heal with energy is to believe the spiritual truism that energy comes first and all else stems from it. Most people believe in the world that they see with their eyes but not the internal world that they feel with their hearts and spirit. It is your energy that creates who you are and what happens to you. Who can be a healer? Everyone is a healer. All of us are Light Beings. Each one of us holds the magical key of reaching the healer within, the part of you that is whole and always in touch with the oneness of the universe, which is what we call your Higher Self. Healing is the art of bringing a person’s energy back to a true balance. We all have the ability to heal ourselves, and others. Energetic Healing introduces you to the skills of being able to diagnose to heal; to understand the nature of Karma and Free Will; to heal without taking on the other person’s pain, energy or problem; and to heal from a place of neutral cosmic love. Healing is a very powerful skill. It is the type of skill you will get to practice more than any other skill since people seem always to be encountering one healing problem or another in life! You do not have to become a professional Healer or a full time healer to practice the art of healing. There is always some type of healing to be done. Sometimes it is a healing of a physical problem but it can also be a healing of an emotional, mental or spiritual nature too. What the Healer learns from Healing: Healing is the ability to change or shift energy. If you can shift your own energy or someone else’s to heal yourself of a physical problem you can also shift your energy to “heal” yourself of an emotional, mental, financial or spiritual problem too. Many people study Energetic Medicine, and go on in life to use these skills to improve their financial situation, to create better relationships with spouses and family members, to change outmoded, rigid or stuck ways of thinking, to clear old emotional patterns and feelings and to release physical pain and trauma in their bodies. Energetic Medicine is the art of moving energy. Once you understand that “energy” comes first and is the cause of all of your experiences you can use your skills to move the energy and learn to create your own reality. The author, Levanah Shell Bdolak, has taught this form of energy healing for thirty years, In this book she gives you step by step instructions to practice energetic healing as if you are attending a class in person.

An in-depth collection of ancient spells and magic practices drawn from rare and newly discovered texts • Presents more than 600 magical prescriptions for healing and protection from both pagan and Christian sources • Examines the practice of diagnosing illness through magic and explores ancient beliefs about curses and other evil spells and about devils, demons, and ghosts • Includes spells from the heavily guarded gypsy tradition of magic and healing, drawn from newly discovered materials Since the beginning of history, people have sought remedies for the many ills that have beset them, from illnesses afflicting the body to threats posed by evil and hostile individuals. In many folk healing and pagan traditions, it was believed that one must gain the assistance of the guardian spirit of a healing plant or substance through prayers or offerings before its chemical properties would be effective. The Church decried these spells and practices as pagan superstition but did not seek to exterminate these beliefs, instead transferring the responsibility for their healing powers to the apostles and saints. Drawing on his extensive knowledge of ancient texts, Claude Lecouteux presents more than 600 magical prescriptions from both pagan and Christian sources from the last 2,000 years, covering everything from abscesses and shingles to curses and healing animals. He examines the practice of diagnosing illness through magic and looks at the origins of disease according to the evolving beliefs of magic practitioners over the centuries. He explores ancient beliefs about curses and about devils, demons, and ghosts and provides an in-depth look at protection magic, including protection of health, animals, and cultivated land, protection against curses, witchcraft, bad weather, and beasts, protection of a home, and protection while traveling. He includes spells from the heavily guarded gypsy tradition of magic and healing, drawn from newly discovered materials collected by two Romanian ethnologists who lived and traveled with gypsies in Transylvania in the mid-19th century. The author also reproduces rare texts on magic healing from the 14th and 15th centuries. Revealing the vitality of these practices in the remoter areas of Eastern Europe, Lecouteux shows how the influence of this pagan worldview is still detectable in the work of modern folk healers in France and Scandinavia. He also shows how the condemnation of unorthodox methods of healing has not vanished from the contemporary world: the medieval legislation against healing by wizards and bonesetters is echoed in modern health codes that challenge the authority of naturopaths and faith healers.
