The new school term just started, I've had so much fun with the healing practice this week! The method we're learning involves working off the body, throughout the process my hands are actually in the energy field at the outer tip of the chakras. You start by placing your hands above the crown chakra, where you can feel it tingling without actually blocking it. I always know I've hit the spot when I feel a jab in my palm, or a sudden rush of cold.
From there you pace yourself and move down the chakras with your hands suspended mid-air on either side of the client's torso. The crown, brow, solar plexus and sacral are easy enough to manage. The base chakra can be a bit awkward, you have to kneel with one hand under the back of the chair, and the other suspended mid-air about 5 inches over the client's lap. All of this without losing your balance!
The Youtube Video below is a good demonstration of a chair healing. The healer touches her client's hips and knees though this isn't always necessary. We usually place our hands on the clients shoulders and feet only. I like to hold my hands close to the body if they feel pain in a particular area without actually touching it. The physical aura layer is the one we're healing in that instance.

Last term I got to the point where I could remember the correct sequence, find the chakras, but I struggled to keep the energy flowing through my hands and into the client's aura. For the past few months I've been practicing my grounding, and also making a huge effort to connect to the light at the highest level and really plug into the energy. With that done, there is so much you can play around with during the session to make it more dynamic, and clairvoyantly stimulating.
What I tried this week was applying some of the energy management tools to the client. For example, there's an aura cleansing technique where you visualize a huge grounding chord that extends down from your aura to the center of the earth. With the power of intention, you command it to vacuum excess energy from your physical and energy bodies, and send it down to the center of the earth where it is purified.
This was what I practiced during my homework session, and the incredible thing is that the client actually noticed when all of that excess energy fell through the floor. She didn't put it in those terms, but I could see it happening and then during the feedback session she mentioned how that point at the end made her let go and just relax.
I'd like to practice on someone who's a little bit psychic, they can see and feel things that others can't.
