Mini-course Learn the Laying on of Hands Day 1 - Introduction — YouTube from the CEC Library

Laying on of hands is a spiritual practice that can be developed in everyday life, benefiting family members and energetically cleansing the environment. This work aims to offer improvements to others and can be carried out daily for those who need spiritual help. The Center for Consciousness Studies (CEC) also performs this work at the Cancer Institute. By practicing it, you benefit yourself and contribute to the exteriorization of energy, improving the health and happiness of everyone around you, as well as promoting the well-being of the world.

Laying on of hands involves the exteriorization of the energies taken in by our chakras. If you are in an environment loaded with dense energies, such as anger or a bad mood, those energies will pass through your energetic system and will be projected into the environment. Someone in a bad mood transmits that energy, just as someone who is happy transmits happiness.

It is important to take care of our personal universe. It is not enough to be irritated or hurt and think that a prayer will solve everything. It is also not effective to carry out this work after consuming alcohol. It is necessary to be well and to work with continuity. If you want to work with laying on of hands to benefit your life and the lives of others, it is important to have a reference point. It is not enough just to look at someone; raising your hand already creates a reference point, indicating that you are exteriorizing energy. You can use one or both hands, left or right, because the exteriorization of energy occurs through willpower. When you direct your will, the energy is exteriorized, benefiting you and the other person. Even if you are not well, when you exteriorize energy, you improve, and so does the person who receives it.

With continuity, the results become more and more pleasant. The more you practice, the more confidence you acquire and the better the exteriorization of energy becomes. There are differences between people; some have experiences that strengthen their belief.

Laying on of hands is useful for driving away undesirable spiritual consciousnesses and improving the circulation of energies. It is recommended that the practice begin in your own home. Dedicate a few minutes daily to energizing the environment, which helps resolve family conflicts and keeps the consciousnesses that came with you from entering. Most of our problems may be related to spiritual harassment. If we are not well, we attract consciousnesses of questionable quality. Even though we love our relatives, some consciousnesses can get in our way. Laying on of hands can relieve their suffering as well.

One example of spiritual harassment is a persistent headache, which can be caused by the approach of needy spirits or by loaded environments. This attempt at connection can cause malaise, nausea, palpitations, or anguish. Laying on of hands helps eliminate these problems, being an extremely beneficial practice. When your son, daughter, or spouse is sleeping, you can perform laying on of hands on them, revitalizing them for better sleep. This is priceless, because it makes us agents of good.

If your child is confused or disorganized, in addition to emotional difficulties, they may have spiritual companions of the same pattern. You can drive those spiritual companions away. Even without companions, illnesses can be created by emotional contexts. Laying on of hands undoes accumulations of energy, removing energy blocks and promoting healings that seem miraculous but are possible.

Persistence and continuity are essential. Believing that everything is energy allows us to do the best with it. To begin this work, it is important to avoid alcoholic beverages, smoking, and heavy meals, if possible. This is not an obligation, but it helps avoid confusion, fights, and nervous rumination. Spending the day angry and then trying to do an exteriorization of energy is not ideal. We must calm ourselves so that our energies are better. We are tools for directing energy to someone, transforming the energies around us according to what we are. If you are ill-humored, you will exteriorize ill humor; if you are good-humored, you will exteriorize good humor.

Therefore, it is better to adopt a happy and detached posture, with good will and affection, so that the people served by our energies feel better. The main objective is to use laying on of hands for good.

If you are very tired or devitalized, it is not a good idea to do the exteriorization of energy, because you may not be in a condition to maintain clarity of thought and good will. It is important to have a dignified posture and to respect the spiritual and physical work we are carrying out. Laying on of hands is work for another person, using spiritual energies and the physical body. It is a spiritual practice that should be carried out daily, not just once a week. Spiritual support happens as we become more useful and more clearly defined tools for the spiritual world.

Those who dedicate themselves daily to assistential work receive more spiritual support. When choosing a position for doing the work, such as standing, it is important to give full attention to what is being done, avoiding negative and conflicting thoughts. We must exteriorize the best of ourselves, such as fraternity, forgiveness, love, and acceptance—universal energies that do not include the ego. The energies belong to the universe, and we must have gratitude and humility when serving others. We are not better than anyone else when we raise our hand to help.

It is important to be dressed appropriately and to use an appropriate tone of voice. When you begin the laying on of hands, say mentally that you are starting to send energy to that specific person. This helps direct the energy correctly and prevents imbalanced consciousnesses from interfering. The process should last from 5 to 10 minutes, observing everything that happens to you during the exteriorization of energy. Writing down your perceptions is useful for improving the work and avoiding unfavorable situations.

Laying on of hands is a study, a piece of research, and an assistance to others. It is important to have discipline, as Chico Xavier used to say: "discipline, discipline, and discipline." Sustaining this practice daily, without excuses, is essential for receiving spiritual support. When you finish, mentally end the exteriorization of energies to the person, without carrying additional worries.

For better results, it is necessary to understand the energies of the environment and the consciousnesses that circulate in it. Healthy environments make the work easier, while loaded places can make it harder. The person's receptivity also influences the result. The relationship and the expectation between you and the person are aspects to be worked on. Various institutions practice laying on of hands, and people of all religions can take part.
