Just lay your hands on the needed part of the person. If the person has a headache, lay your hands on his head, close your eyes, start feeling energies pouring, and you will have a tingling sensation in the hands, they will become electrified. Or if the person has some trouble with the stomach, put your hands on the stomach. The needed part has to be touched. If it can be touched bare, without clothes, it is better, it will be more effective. But don’t touch the needed part for more than one minute. If you touch the needed part for more than one minute, then sometimes the disease can start flowing towards you.

Energy is a rhythm: one minute it goes outwards, another minute it comes inwards. So make it a point that when you put your hands on somebody’s body, exhale; it synchronizes with inhalation, exhalation. When you put your hands on them, exhale, and go on exhaling; and when you see that you cannot exhale any more, take your hands off and then inhale. If you inhale while laying your hands on, you can be affected by the illness. The person may be healed but you will suffer, and that is meaningless. Just lay your hands with exhalation, and the moment inhalation starts, withdraw.

When you are healing a person, so much energy is pouring out that if you touch, it will be almost as if you are touching him with a live wire, a live electric wire. He will become so afraid that his doors will close — and if the doors are closed, you can go on showering and nothing will happen. Healing is possible not only because of your energy — it is possible only when your energy enters the other person and becomes his energy. If it comes up to the door and returns, no healing happens. That’s why if a person does not trust you, never try healing — never try, because it is not possible. If a person has doubts about you, forget about him. It is possible only in deep trust, and if you try on persons who won’t trust you, you will become unconfident about your own energy. If you fail many times, then by and by you will think, “Nothing is happening. I don’t have the energy.” In fact every person has the energy to heal. It is something natural. It is not that a few people are healers and others are not, no. Every person born is a healer but has forgotten the capacity, or has never used it, or has used it in wrong associations and has come to feel that it never works.

So never try it on somebody who challenges you. It is not a challenge. If somebody is ready to participate, to go with you, then it is a beautiful experience. So in the beginning never touch. When the person is relaxing more and more and you feel…and I am saying feel — not that you think. If you feel an urge arises to touch the person — for example he has a stomach ache or a headache or something and you feel that just touching the head will be helpful — then touch, but first let him get in tune with you.  First just give an energy massage, not touching the body.

Keep about two inches’ distance, because the person’s body aura is about six inches away from his body. Keep about two, three inches away, so in a way you are touching his energy aura. You are not touching his or her physical body, but you are touching his subtle body — and that’s enough. For the energy to penetrate, that’s enough. You have really touched him, but he will not be afraid about that. When you feel that the person is participating tremendously, when his trust is immense and you can see that he is flowing with you, and you can feel that your energy is being absorbed — it is not rejected; he has become like a sponge and is soaking it up — then it becomes a pinpoint. On that point the whole energy showers and enters deepest.

After each healing it is better that if you can take a shower, do so. If it is not possible, then at least wash your hands immediately and shake them. It always happens that when you are passing your energy into the other person, his or her energy also sometimes passes into you; they overlap. Sometimes the person can be very strong, even stronger than you.

Sometimes the person may not be strong, but his illness may be very strong, so those vibrations of illness can enter you and can be destructive. They can make you ill, tense. Healing is good but not at your own cost, because then it is foolish and you cannot heal much. Sooner or later you will become ill, badly ill, and your body will be confused very much.

Massage is not simply massage. You are sharing energy; and unless you have energy flowing in you, soon you will become tired. Then it is very risky. It is not physical tiredness that comes — that is not important; you will sleep, you will eat, and it will go. But massage is a deeper sharing of energy. When you are massaging somebody’s body, not only are your bodies involved — your subtle bodies, two energy bodies, two bio-plasmas. The person who is taking massage can take too much of your bio-plasma, and unless you are a constant inner supply, unless you are joined to the source, you will become very much dissipated by it. It may not immediately affect you because you are young. Even for months and years you may not feel it, but one day suddenly you will feel you are collapsed.

First one should work upon oneself, and one should become very, very centred. When you are centred, you are not. When you are centred, the source starts functioning. Then you are just a passage. The cosmos starts flowing through you — then there is no problem. You can share as much energy as you want, and you will be constantly getting new energy. Then you are not like a reservoir of water which has no springs to it.  You are like a well which has many springs to it; you go on taking the water out and new water is flowing in — you cannot exhaust it. In fact you take the old, rotten, stale water out, and the fresh and alive water comes in. So the well is very happy — you are unburdening it from the past and the old and the stagnant. So if you are in a flow and your energy is flowering then there is no problem.

So massage and healing and these phenomena are very subtle. And it is not only a question of knowing the technique, the bigger question is how to be at the source then there is no problem.  Don’t bother about the technique and whether you know it or not. You can simply start playing with somebody’s body and energy will be flowing, and there will be great benefits.  But there is only real benefit when the person who is massaging is also benefited through it — then there is a real benefit. Then the healer is benefited, and the healee too — both are benefited, Nobody is at loss.
