Healing and Shakti

Shakti is the very force of healing, starting with the energy of awareness that brings balance and integration into all that it examines. Different healing therapies have their specific Shaktis, like the healing power of massage and therapeutic touch. Pranic or energy healing is also a kind of ‘Shakti healing,’ as it works directly through the cosmic energy. But it requires that the therapist resonates inwardly with the power of Shakti, which rests on wisdom, devotion and inner vitality.

For optimal healing, the appropriate healing Shakti needs to be applied relative to the particular imbalances within the person. This internal Shakti in Ayurvedic medicine is defined in terms of Ojas, or the immune strength, physical and emotional endurance, peace, balance and contentment of the person. People with good Ojas will live longer, have more mental stability and be spiritually more at peace. Their healing powers can be immense. To develop this Ojas or inner power, one must be able to hold one’s Prana or life-force within, directing to the cosmic powers, not simply to outer worldly enjoyment. Ayurveda contains many special rejuvenation therapies to increase Ojas.37

The main Shakti or power of healing rests in Prana itself. It is the Prana, the vital energy from the food, herbs, massage and other treatment methods, which works to heal us. Different therapies are simply various means of creating and directing prana in different ways. Ultimately, it is the Prana of the healer that is the key factor or healing Shakti, and how that aligns with the Prana of the patient.

The best way to begin a healing process is through honoring of Shakti, both as a general life-force and in the specific therapies that may be employed. We should honor the healing Shakti both in the therapist and the patient, and seek its grace for the treatment to occur without obstruction.

A clinic or treatment room should be a temple to Shakti. Keeping special healing Shaktis present there aids in this process. This means that the treatment room or clinic should contain special plants, flowers, pleasant aromas, colors, gems, geometrical patterns, and other forms and symbols of the Goddess. Daily rituals, chanting, music, mantra and meditation should go on in order to create the sacred space of healing for the Shakti of healing to manifest. To honor the Goddess as the source of Shakti is even better.
