There are 7 energy Centers in the Body, they are not physical but Etheric. An etheric Energy Center cannot be felt physically like Eyes, Nose by anybody, it is activated by Grace either by a Master or by Consciousness (Formless aspect of God) itself after sustained Meditations.
Human beings are born and raised as Gross Conscious which means they are only Conscious of their Physical body and their mind. Most Reiki healers use thought energy and placebo effect on their patients. For Placebo effect they use Crystals, Stones. Thought is the lowest form of Energy in the healing Spectrum, which means the healer continuously channelizes thought energy over the patient and uses a placebo to open the patients mind. Results are limited because it depends on patient receptivity and intensity of the healer to channelize healing thought. For this the healer must first learn great mental Control, his or her thoughts should not waver.
2,3,4 th Centers of the human body corresponds to Pran or Energy. IMO, there are countable Reiki healers in the world in these Centers some of them may be in Tibet. Here the healing is forceful even if the patient has less receptivity because Pran or Pure Energy has a higher penetrating force than thought. A 2nd center healer can heal small diseases a 4th center healer can even restore lost eyesight, kidneys etc in one second. But such healers are not found because they live in anonymity and they want to move higher up towards God-realization.
5 and 6th Center corresponds to Mental Energy. These healers can heal people with just one thought without even using their Energy at all. Lower center (2-4) healers use thought to intiate Energy for healing while these people of 5th Center need no use of Energy because by their Jap-tap etc they have transcended the domain of Energy. Their one thought itself is enough and the healing is done.
e.g. A lower Center healer may ask you sit and he will do some Rituals, Stones etc while these people if they will to heal will just say “Okay you are healed” you will be healed. A 5th and 6th center healer again is very rare to find because being close to Nirvana aka God-realization they will not be interested in Wordly activities, Mostly.
7th Center is God’s Center – Man has become God and his healing is Automatic. He emits Divine radiations of GOD Pure Energy, Pure Bliss to everyone without any effort and the more the people believe in him the greater the benefit. This is the highest form of healing in the world. He is choiceless, a sinner and saint are healed equally by him because he/she sees his own Atman in all. There is no effort even to heal because his very life is compassion that he emits through his divine radiations.
Saibaba is Universal Consciousness, The wirepuller of the Show of Universe. It’s a state of I am in All and ALL is in Me. Normally while chanting or doing prayer or Aarti, Saibaba heals from 7 th Center which means he is available to both sinner and saint equally. But being Universal Consciousness he can heal from any center he likes. For a very forceful healing like destroying Cholera in Shirdi he uses the 4th Center. A Miracle in recent years include saving a Politicians life when his chopper lost control, they started chanting Sai’s name and just when the chopper was going to crash it recovered and went up that politician on every Ramnavami brings a chopper and puts Gulab on temple. For such a forceful healing, the Master stations himself on 4th Center which is the domain of Global Infinite Energy but such miracles are wrought only when the devotee has made sufficient contact and surrender with the Master.
If somebody chants Sai they don’t need any healers because the name itself connects to Omnipotent powers of God. If we learn the knack of opening up that is being without any apprehensions the Chanting is the Fastest way to heal our diseases.
Jai Sai.
