As Old as Time—Healing Arts - by Anita Burns
Healing may be the most sought after metaphysical art. Magical and
medical healing techniques are recorded as far back as written history.
From ancient Mesopotamia, Egypt, Babylonia, China, Australia, Europe,
and the Americas, healing was practiced both as a science and as a
magical connection with the "gods.” Today, a cursory check of the
Internet brings up 6,050,000 sites from the word "healing” alone,
178,000 under "spiritual healer," and 835,000 under "energy healing.”
I was pondering on why "healing” is in such demand. Medical science
assures us that we are healthier than ever and that modern medicine is
a wonder to behold. Why, then do we seek out healers of all kinds with
such gusto? We are seeking more than a just sound body. We are seeking
real health. Real health is not physical alone. Real health is a
synthesis of radiant vitality, clear mind, and a joyous experience of
LIFE! How many of us can claim to wake up every morning with the
enthusiasm and energy that we once had as children on Christmas Eve, or
our birthdays, or when we knew we were going to have a GREAT day?
The answer is obvious—very few of us in modern society have that
ongoing feeling of wonder and excitement about living that the sages
and gurus say we should have. There is a wonderfully insightful line
from, what I consider to be a very underrated movie, "Joe Versus the
Volcano” that says something like, "Nobody feels, good. I don’t ever
feel good. It’s a fact of life. Get used to it.” What a sad but often
too true commentary on modern life.
Yet there is a
promise of discovering or regaining that zest for living, that
connection with your higher self, or your Godself as many call it. That
promise comes in the myriad of healers, in the form of gurus, spiritual
teachers, religious practices, yoga, martial arts, energetic
practitioners and on and on. Of course, each one is claiming to have
"THE way.” And, it may be true. Each one may have THE way because THE
way may be contained in each one of these practices as a unified force
channeling through yoga, Tai Chi, Healing Touch, Reiki, Re Hu Tek™ and
so on.
I have been in the "business” of healing and
metaphysics all my life, so I have seen healing fads come and go. In
our search for the ultimate healing magic, we may drift from one method
to another looking for the ONE that works to make our lives beyond
bearable. Will we ever find it? In my opinion, there is no one
technique that will answer all of our needs. We must choose a formula
that is right for our body, mind, and spirit to help us achieve the
goal we seek for vibrant living.
As many of you
already know, I have also been on that path of searching and have
chosen as one of the main ingredients in my formula, Re Hu Tek™ (RHT).
I am a Reiki Master; I have practiced Tai Chi and Chi Gung for more
years than I can count. I am a graduate of Siddhi Yoga, and have
practiced Hatha yoga since I was five. I am also a certified NLP
trainer and an ex-psychologist. I learned meditation from the feet of
masters and have studied more techniques in mind and body control than
I care to admit. None of these practices integrated my life like RHT I
still use a formula of pranayama (the yoga of breath), Siddhi, Kriya,
Mantra, Hatha yoga, and NLP but I now integrate the effects of all of
this with RHT.
RHT, from ancient Egypt, accesses both Cosmic and
Earth energies in a way that blends them together in our physical and
non-physical body to create a powerful transformative force. This,
combined with vocal sound is unlike anything I have ever experienced
before. I can only describe its effect on me as "atomic.” My other
practices have become empowered and alive. I can accomplish much more
with my meditation, physical and spiritual disciplines than ever before.
My husband, Allen Burns, and I now spend our days working with RHT. We
offer attunement/trainings, sessions, and a free RHT Clinic, at the
Spiritualist Center of Friendship, on the 1st and 3rd Thursdays of each
month. If you would like more information about Re Hu Tek™ visit our
