Have you ever wanted to own your own Spiritual
Center? Does your vision include helping others and
finding a way of expressing your own creative healing abilities? Ancient Wisdom is a beautiful healing and teaching
center with ongoing classes and workshops, located in Boone,
North Carolina – the Heart of the
Appalachian Mountains.
It is supported by a profitable, dynamic retail business (Ancient
Wisdom, Inc. – a North Carolina

Long-term lease and growth potential.

The New Book
As promised, here is an excerpt from
our new book:
Healing the Healers – Staying Healthy while Helping
Others
Ken Page and Nancy Nester ã2003
Chapter One: The Energy Connection:
As
we help others, we are actually healing ourselves. Often, however, we do not fully or completely
understand this symbiotic energy connection to all life. We assist others without any real thought to
the effect that energy has upon our family and ourselves. So, if our intentions are good, and our heart
is in the right place, why do we sometimes feel so tired – as if our
own life force was literally being drained from us?
Why do we get sick, emotionally, mentally or physically?
When
Nancy and I began our own healing paths, we soon noticed that many fellow
practitioners of various healing modalities would get sick, or worse
– weakened or broken. We witnessed
not only physical sickness but emotional and mental dis-harmony. This insight came from years in which we facilitated
thousands of personal healing sessions on many types of individuals
– primarily other healers, medical and social personnel, teachers and
religious or spiritual leaders. People
who are in service and put themselves ‘out there’ to help others have
such compassion for their human or animal friends, and yet find their
nervous systems getting burned out or their energy compromised in some
way. We have found the most credible representation
of this fact to be those individuals practicing the healing arts.
Within three to five years, the nervous system of most ‘healers’
begins to burn itself out – they are often in such physical or emotional
pain they can not work full time at their chosen life’s work.
Wanting
to help others is innate in each of us.
There may be no dramatic occurrence or experience that sets us
in motion. We may not always
know exactly what is wrong, but we are aware intuitively or instinctively
on some level, that there is an imbalance, that something is just not
quite right. And so, we simply, easily and naturally awaken
to the fact that we have limitless potential to heal ourselves and the
ability to assist or facilitate others in their own healing.
The philosophy of our own personal
power and our shared purpose for being alive has been spoken about,
discussed and taught in many arenas – both intellectually and spiritually. Merely telling you that your own sense of Self - your own power and self-esteem - is necessary, even
vital for your good health, will not encourage you to read any further. Surely this is not new information being presented.
Rather, our hope is that you will find a new awareness of the
inner-workings of Universal energy – the life force generated
by your body’s own existence.
One
cannot begin to comprehend the energy of the physical body without considering
the spiritual context or framework that surrounds and connects each
of us. Even our own conventional medical establishment
is beginning to recognize the connection of illness and energetic dis-harmony.
Our combined hope is that soon there will no longer be a division
between body and spirit. In the interim, Ken and I would like to show
you ways in which you can maintain your own energetic balance of life
– to see within yourself the causes for dis-harmony so you can care
for yourself both spiritually as well as physically.
The
human energy field is often extended very far from our physical bodies. In our experience, most individuals use their
energetic field for protection. This
field can extend hundreds of yards.
Based on our years of experience in helping others to heal themselves,
we believe that most human fields of energy are so far out because the
average person says to themselves by the age of three: “I don’t want
to be here. I don’t want to do this any longer”.
We make this statement on some level before we even have the
true capacity to verbally communicate.
We make this decision upon looking around and feeling our home,
our environment, the people who care for us or our family members. We intuitively
or instinctively felt that something was very wrong – so wrong that
it would be easier not to be here on earth anymore. Remember, at that tender age, we still have
a knowing sense of spiritual ease and comfort, of being part of God
or Creator. At the moment we make that decisive choice,
part of us does leave. Where
did we go? It appears that our
spirit, part of our soul or essence decided it was safer to watch ourselves
from outside ourselves rather than continue with the experiences of
remaining in our physical bodies. We
believe this has been true in all of our past experiences, however we’ve
existed before.
Dis-harmony,
dis-ease does not begin within our physical body. Energetically, every emotional, mental or even
spiritual thought and action has a corresponding re-action within the
physical body. By understanding
how energy works in your own life, you can identify certain patterns
– certain causes for all sickness or conflicts.
Remember – nothing is random.
Energetically, we have
always been a part of everything and everyone.
Our energy, like a ripple in a still pond, touches all other
energy. The energy of everyone
else also touches each one of us. That
concept is part of almost every belief structure, although not fully
understood. Our personal makeup is formed from many different
places, many different experiences.
Some persons observe past lives in a linear way. That is only one possibility. Let’s reason it another way: When we are in
between lives, or in another reality as part of God or Source or Creation,
the creative body of God or Source or Creation experiences. It might not experience in the same way we as humans experience, but it does sense all life force.
If this were not so, there would be no reason for creation to
continue. If Creator did not
experience, there would be no reason for continual evolution.
In that space between physical lives, we observe other lives,
not just our own but the lives of everyone else within creation.
We are part of Creator. Our
level of compassion for the life experiences of others allows us to
become One with creation.
Isn’t it possible therefore, that each one of us has experienced
everything in one form or another?
Just be with that thought for a moment.
We have experienced every single emotion and feeling that any
other person has ever felt; we have experienced everything from all
other times and all other realities. As we
gently awaken to this conscious awareness, floods of memories and understanding
come to us.

New Workshop
My last newsletter mentioned that
we have much information dealing with the energetics involved when
one shares abilities to assist others in their own healing process. Individuals in the healing arts and everyone
who provides a service to anyone else in any fashion will benefit
from the insights we have gathered from years of thousands of personal
healing sessions. We are now
teaching “Healing the Healers”
an experiential workshop which provides specific techniques
to maintain energetic clarity for health and well-being.
If you have interest in bringing this workshop to your area,
please contact the Institute at 1-800-809-1290, Tel/Fax:
