When I first started learning to consciously use my healing powers, I would practice on plants. I had a few house plants that I kept in great condition and were always boyount looking and happy. I would try different techniques like holding my hands near the plant and imagine a sphere of energy kept within the borders of my hands (like a fireball in Street Fighter or Dragon Ball Z). I would percieve it to be healing energy and I would feel its effects on the etheric body of the plant as positive healing powers.
This was me using my imagination. This helped to sharpen my intent. I would use my thoughts, my feelings, and my will and I would be honest with myself. "I know I can heal." Admitting reality, I suppose.
Anyway, does anyone else have experience in this that they would like to share? Have you ever tried healing plants? Animals? Humans? Yourself?
