There are some principles that could be applied to all healing modalities like Reiki, Dar’ Shem, Quantum Touch et al, that come under the heading of energy work. Here are a few Douglas thoughts about the matter. I hope they will be of interest, though they only skim the surface of an immensely deep subject.

Shortly after Practical Magick first opened, the beautiful, and very talented Dr. Elizabeth Young gave a fascinating introductory talk; first in a series about herbs and their medicinal and magical use. She had a Masters in Botany and a Doctorate in toxicology, which was a good start, but her great appeal was the way in which she treated plants with the respect that they deserve as fellow travelers on space ship Earth, and not just as fodder, or raw material to be exploited.

One of my many correspondents asked if there were any principles that could be applied to all healing modalities like Reiki, Dar’ Shem, Quantum Touch etc., that come under the heading of energy work. This is the gist of the letter I sent in reply, with matters personal to the correspondent deleted. I hope it will be of interest, though it only skims the surface of an immensely deep subject. There is a child's prayer that lots of people used.
