Jose ATID LEIIA STEVENS 173do is speak to it and the other person or their guardian spirit
will hear it and take the necessary measures.
Remember to sign off; let them know your communica-
tion has ended. Keep it short, as you do not want to distract
them for very long while they are busy. They may or may not
be consciously aware of your communication. Nevertheless,
their spirit self will respond, with or without their knowing it.HEALING OTHERS USING THE TUNNELS
Occasionally someone will indirectly ask you for help re-
garding one of their tunnels. For example, someone may ask
you to help them use their intuition more skillfully or help
them visualize more clearly. Using your own shamanic vi-
sioning, you can picture their sixth tunnel and see how it
looks. Tell them who or what you see there obstructing their
vision. Then you can ask their power animal to clear that
tunnel out and help them see better. If their power animal is
not apparent, ask your own power animal to do the job.
Under no circumstances should you use your own energy
to help them, nor should you try to send your own energy to
them, because they will be unable to use it. They can only
use their own energy frequency to make repairs or find bal-
ance. When people are imbalanced, confused, or ill, they
simply need some information or communication. They do
not need foreign substances. Your energy is a foreign sub-
stance. Use it only for communication. They can easily dis-
perse whatever little energy you send in delivering the
communication.
When you try to heal another by sending them copious
amounts of your own energy, you will not only feel drained
and dispirited, but you will compound the other person's
problem; it becomes varnished with a layer of energy that
they cannot digest or process: It may stay there for years
until they finally get rid of it. This is why many so-called
helpers and healers, despite the best intentions, do more
harm than good.
Master shamans know that ultimately, all healing is self-
healing. They are good at naming the problem, targeting the
problem area (blocked tunnel), contacting power animals or
guardians, communicating silently, and staying out of the
way. They do not deplete themselves nor do they falsely
believe that they alone are able to heal. They are the go-
betweens or midwives between the power of the spirit world
and the physical landscape.
