Summary
The laying on of hands exteriorizes energy from the environment, encoded by thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Positive intention brings spiritual support, and helping without emotional involvement preserves energy. With the person seated and relaxed, position yourself behind them, mentally announce the start, and exteriorize energy over their head, shoulders, and the back of their neck for about ten minutes, attentively and with feeling. Will directs the energy through either hand, and signals from the chakras guide the work. When you finish, mentally announce the end so that the spirits do not continue draining energy. The practice benefits the person and the spiritual consciousnesses around them and must be performed regularly to produce lasting results.

Laying on of hands involves the exteriorization of the energy that passes through us. We take in the energy of the environment, which can be influenced by people or be pure, coming from a place with a lot of nature. That energy is codified by us and exteriorized. We are the result of our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, which are our energetic productions. It is not only a matter of exteriorizing energy with the help of angels or gods. When we become tools of spirituality with the intention of doing good, we find spiritual support.
I remember a visit to Chico Xavier's spiritist center, where I noticed the great number of spiritual helper consciousnesses around him. When those consciousnesses come close, we become more stable and respond to the environment calmly—which I consider a spiritual maturity. To carry out laying on of hands, I suggest that the person be seated. The practice is done with you positioned behind them, carrying out the exteriorization over the head, shoulders, and nape of the neck for about 10 minutes. The result is always positive, as long as your intention is positive. Each person is responsible for their own energies; therefore, in order to generate better energies, we must think about happy and healthy things.
Even if the person is unwell, the idea is that the exteriorization of energy begins in you. Life has meaning, and there is always a solution to difficulties. If someone says there is no cure because the doctors gave up hope, it is not quite like that. In laying on of hands, it is important to begin mentally, saying that you are starting the practice for that person. Do this for 10 minutes with attention and feeling, without distractions.
This work is serious and is reflected in the helpers who will be nearby. It is a course of evolution in which you circulate and donate your energies, improving the life of the person and of those around them, including spirits of deceased relatives or spiritual friends. It is work of great dimension, not only for one person, but for many. When finishing, say mentally that you are ending the exteriorization of energy for that person. This is important so that the spirits present know that the work has been concluded and do not remain siphoning energy. Organization is fundamental in order to avoid difficulties caused by ignorance.
A person can receive as many layings on of hands as they wish. Some people, in suffering or with an energetic gap, leave revitalized and happy. It is important not to become emotionally involved with someone else's suffering, because that can drain your energy. Remember that everything in life is work, and we must see the course as an opportunity for growth.
Over the course of 70, 80, or 90 years, we can become attached to beliefs and repeated thoughts, but it is essential to break down those walls so as not to end life without growth. Helping with the heart means helping with feeling. When you help with feeling, you do not become emotionally involved with the other person. The involvement occurs when you work below the heart chakra, in the sphere of emotions—for example, feeling pity for someone and thinking about what can be done for that person. You can help more effectively if you do not become emotionally involved, using discernment in order to truly benefit the person.
Offering palliative solutions is a waste of energy. It is more productive to guide the person, explaining that by receiving laying on of hands regularly they will feel better. Frequency is important; there is no point in receiving it a single time and expecting lasting results. We are always in search of learning. There is no final point. We must not limit ourselves to being something specific; we can be much more than what we determine for ourselves. We must be coherent and help others. Laying on of hands can be done with one or two hands, or even with the left hand. The energy flows according to your will, which directs it to the other person. Do not become attached to ideas that one hand is positive and the other negative.
The chakras have specific capacities: the laryngeal and liver chakras exteriorize more energy. The palmar chakras are also chakras of exteriorization, while the foot chakras take in energy, but they can exteriorize it if desired. The foot chakra is designed to take in energy, but it can exteriorize with your will. The chakra of the hands, when exteriorizing energy, can cause sensations such as draining and warming. It is important to understand those energetic signs. Do not worry if you feel tingling; it may be something positive. Each person is unique, and the interaction between two people always generates positive or negative effects.
The will and determination can transform everything. The exteriorization of energy is simple, and with knowledge of the chakras you will perceive what you are doing. You may feel the spleen chakra, cramps, or sensations in the chest and in the frontal chakra. Those perceptions help you understand the progress of the energy work. Over time, you will be able to see images and understand what is really happening with the person, beyond what they say.
Write down the images you see, because they are not merely imagination. In order to grow, it is necessary to invest in yourself. In-person laying on of hands is done with the person nearby, from the front or from behind, asking the person to relax, which makes the work easier. Relaxation is crucial. Ask the person to sit calmly, close their eyes, and feel the energy, leaving better than they came in. That is the goal of our work.
Healing can bring unimaginable benefits. I have seen people with cancer and unbearable pains be healed. This happens because many problems are emotional and of consciousness. When you raise your hand for another person, you circulate that person's energies, and the consciousnesses that are there need to leave, because the change of frequency is wearing for them. An essential place for exteriorizing energies is your bed. It accumulates energetic residues from our body, which are not visible. Changing the sheet does not remove those energies. Do laying on of hands with good will and joy, and you will notice an improvement in your sleep and in the environment of the house. Confusions and intrigues tend to disappear.
