Healing Techniques for Yourself and Others
The life force within each of us is our natural healing and balancing energy. We all have it! As you attune to this life force through meditation, you can begin to consciously direct it to facilitate the healing in yourself and others*.
All healing is ultimately self-healing; we cannot “heal” someone else but we CAN direct energy and positive suggestions for health and wholeness to others who may accept it on a deep level of their being which will effectively help them to heal.
The following techniques are simple yet highly effective, and may be used in conjunction with or separate from your regular meditation time. If you wish to use one of the following techniques at the close of your meditation, simply begin the method rather than closing down at the end of your regular meditation. Work with either one of them for two or four minutes and then close your palms and surround yourself with imagining white light as you would after your regular meditation.
If you are practicing one of the techniques apart from your regular meditation session, take several deep breaths and relax your body and mind before beginning and then follow the steps as displayed below.
Directing Healing to Yourself
- Sit with your spine erect, eyes closed, feet flat on the floor with your hands in prayer position or folded together.
- Mentally picture yourself as clearly as possible full of health and vitality. Picture yourself doing some activity that you enjoy when you are in radiant health. Try to remember a time when you felt exceptionally good and recreate that feeling within your mind. Feel and think about the experience with intensity.
- After about two minutes, take a deep breath, relax and turn your palms up in the receptive meditative position. Let the image fade from your mind.
- Next, imagine that a golden sun of energy, about two feet in diameter, is directly over your head (about three feet above your head). Feel its warmth and intensity. This “sun” is filled with an unlimited supply of life energy, the healing force, and you are going to direct it through your body. Always remember that thoughts are things; this sun energy is there as soon as you think it there.
- If there is a particular area of your body that is diseased or injured, picture the area in red (or another color, if you prefer). For example, if you have a swollen joint, imagine the joint and the surrounding area filled with a red color – identify and mark it in your mind.
- Now imagine the sun above your head opening up, and an unlimited supply of its liquid light begins flooding through your body. Picture and feel this energy stream through your chest, stomach and abdomen, flowing through your back, down your arms and to your fingertips. The liquid light continues down through your body, down through your legs and out the soles of your feet. Imagine this energy flooding through your body and into your energy field, filling you in and out with its pulsating, harmonizing vibrations of health and wholeness.
- See this flow of light entering the specific area you pictured as a color and see it cleansing the color right out of your system. Picture all of the red flowing away and the affected area now glowing and pulsating in white light in harmony with the rest of your system.
- Imagine that you are closing the soles of your feet and the palms of your hands and that you are filling up with this healing force all the way to the top of your head. Every tissue, organ, cell and system in your body is harmonized and whole.
- Once you feel filled with this warm and light-filled energy, it’s time to close down. Picture the sun above your head expanding until it completely engulfs your, becoming the white light that protects you at the end of your meditation. Then open your eyes and close your palms, repeating to yourself, “My body, mind and spirit are renewed in health and wholeness.”
Sending Healing To Others
In the energy of the mind, there is no time or space so healing can be directed to a person whether they are near or on the other side of the world.
- Sit with your spine erect, eyes closed, feet flat on the floor with your hands in prayer position or folded together.
- In your mind picture the person as clearly as possible to whom you wish to send healing. See this person as happy, healthy, and doing something that suggests health (such as walking, mountain climbing, bicycling, singing, etc.).
- Concentrate on this image with intensity until it feels real. Create the emotional feeling of happiness and well-being within yourself and then project that feeling into this healthy image of the one you want to help heal (the stronger the feeling, the better).
- After about two minutes, take a deep breath, relax and turn your palms up. Continue to focus gently on the image now seeing the person completely engulfed in the white light healing energy, which is balancing and harmonizing body, mind and spirit.
- Mentally repeat, sending the energy to this person, “The natural state of your being is health and wholeness.”
- After about two minutes, release the image from your mind, close your pals, and open your eyes. Surround yourself with white light.
We all have the energy within ourselves to help heal ourselves and others. Just give these techniques a try.

Techniques For Health & Wholeness
By Betty Bethards
“Physician, heal thyself,” is Betty Bethards basic message in this book, Techniques for Health and Wholeness. The Physician within you is your higher self, or God-self, and knows all answers to your problems of health and everyday living. As we learn to get in touch with this inner self, and accept responsibility for our own health and well-being, a whole new world of harmony and happiness opens to each one of us.
Betty believed that conventional medicine has much to offer and advocated using conventional medicine when needed. At the same time she taught that it is good to engage in self-healing behaviors and techniques in unison with conventional treatment and medicine.
Betty Bethards was taught methods of healing and meditation by her channel. Her channel was her attunement to her inner guides and teachers. What she channeled came through her, from higher sources of wisdom and insight. It is the intuitional level of awareness, a higher frequency or rate of vibration where one learns to hear higher teachings by attuning to the finer energies within. Betty taught that everyone has a channel that can be opened to the insights and love energy that comes from these expanded levels of consciousness.
In this book, Techniques for Health and Wholeness, Betty explains how self-healing can work for you!
