[Help] Tibetan Plains Healing

[Ekaj]

I was hoping someone could help.
A couple of years ago I had an amazing distance healing session. While I was relaxing the practitioner journeyed with me to the Tibetan Plains where the monks there conduct a healing session.

Immediately following the session, I felt different. Im the months after the session, things started to shift for me positively. I'd really love another session but the practitioner has since closed down their services and all but disappeared. Does anyone else know of anyone offering something similar or even a similar modality, I could learn and do on myself?

Don't know about other practitioners, but you can most likely master this art yourself, if you give it time and effort.

Thanks @Morell. I'm prepared to teach myself but I'm not sure where to start though so wondered if anyone knew of this (even by another name) so that I could research and find out more. I've been "googling" extensively but nothing seems to come up yet. It was life altering (and I've experienced a lot of different types of energy work in the past that don't even come close).

I suppose this may be the practice you are looking for, or at least this is the one I am familiar with and would recommend: Sky-Gazing Meditation.


In Tibetan it is called Namkha Arté (nam mkha’ ar gtad) and it comes from the Dzogchen tradition of Tibetan Buddhism.


This practice is very simple yet profound. You sit in an open place and gently gaze into the sky with relaxed eyes. Instead of focusing on a specific object, you allow your awareness to open and rest in the vastness of the sky.


In Dzogchen teachings, the sky is used as a symbol of the natural mind: open, clear, and limitless. Thoughts are like clouds that appear and disappear, while the sky itself remains unchanged.


Sky-gazing meditation can help cultivate:

• deep calm
• spacious awareness
• emotional release
• a sense of inner clarity

Because it is natural and uncomplicated, it is often recommended even for beginners who want to experience a quiet and expansive state of mind.

Depends on what it was you were doing exactly. Can you try to describe the rite as detailed as possible? So far it seems like active imagination or visit to astral temple.

I know this modality. What you experienced is a guided journeying, some people would describe it as a trance state where the practitioner works with you and facilitates healing while you’re in that state.

I don’t know your personal beliefs, so I can’t say anymore. This is really something you’ll need to explore for yourself, because there’s a lot to unpack, and a lot of them have nothing to do with healing.

It’s also not the same as a distance Reiki healing session which uses energy work, so it’s very different from what you’ve had before.

You can learn to do this yourself, but these are all advanced skills. I’d recommend not seeking out anyone who offers it. Because they’ll be Reiki which is not what you’re looking for.

And the Tibetan plains you see can be replaced. It’s a scenery. With a different practitioner, the setting will look completely different, usually it’s just a familiar landscape that the practitioner has during this kind of work.

Hello, thanks everyone for the replies - much appreciated. It wasn't guided meditation as I was 300 miles away resting on a couch at the time the practitioner was working on me and they weren't guiding me through anything. I felt profound shifts the next day and for some time after. A week later I had a phone debrief with the practitioner.

They recounted what they did - it sounded like astral journeying and taking my astral to the Tibetan Plains. The practitioner had not met me before but knew all kinds of things about me and events from my life from the journeying and from what my astral self had mentioned. They also knew how I had responded when asked certain things in this dream state - e.g. turns of phrase that people don't really use. The practitioner had also mentioned how the Tibetan monks removed an entity had been released from a certain area of the body- this rang true as while I was on my couch (without an idea about what the practitioner was doing), I felt a sharp pain and then lightness from that body part...

My personal beliefs are open minded but not really attached to any one belief system. I've had distance reiki and it was nothing like this. After the session, massive things I had struggled with my life and key relationships all started changing. Most for the better.
The practitioner is a shaman and works with all different traditions. I wish I could contact them but according to other people, they have gone offline and taken an indefinite break.

Writing it down, it actually does feel advanced for where I am esoterically but still, I am fascinated about the session and would like to experience more. Sorry for the long post.

Sounds like astral travel or lucid dreaming... and @Keldan is correct, this is advanced practice performed by well skilled practitioner with a lot of experience and good will apparently. I would say that you got lucky to find such a person. They are not common.

I don't think that you will find this specific practice online, advanced practitioners tend to develop their own personal system of working. You can get into shamanism or into astral travel, but do not expect vast success at once or even for a long time. Getting into practice of any occult art demands changes in one's life, giving them time, being disciplined, to study... it is worth it but it also is honest work.

I would also be careful about looking for another person like that. A lot of fakes out there.

I don’t think you understood what I just said, so reread it and pay attention to the wording instead of skimming.

It’s “journeying.” I didn’t say a single thing about meditation. And I put “guided journeying” in quotes because the practitioner guided you to their place. Otherwise you wouldn’t have been able to access it. That place is in the spiritual, not astral. They’re different, even though people often mix them up.

And you don’t need to be physically near someone for this. You could be 10,000 miles apart and they could still guide you through the “journeying,” as long as your mind is relaxed and open to the experience.

Typically, a practitioner will do a reading beforehand before the actual journeying, so they understand what areas need healing and can prepare for the session. Sometimes the wounds aren’t physical, they can be emotional or spiritual. In your case, the wounds were emotional and tied to a few past experiences involving spirits. Each practitioner may do it a little differently, but the overall process is generally the same.

This is not Reiki, and it’s very different from Reiki as I explained above. And I’d suggest you don’t go looking for someone who offers a similar experience, because most of what’s out there is just Reiki or other energy work, not this. That way you don’t end up getting scammed or losing money trying to search for an experience.

Now that you know what it’s called, you can do further research and learn more about it.

I think I understand what you are referring to, and I agree with what was said above. These kinds of practices are not easy to find, and it is certainly not Reiki.


If it is about healing the soul, the only practice that usually works through a “guided journey” is an Akashic meditation (we call it meditation only as a term, but it is actually a deep healing process, similar in spirit to practices like Moon Mother or womb healing, because it works from within to heal the wounds of the soul).


In these practices people often visualize a sacred place, such as a garden or a palace, although every practitioner may use slightly different techniques.


I use this practice myself and, in my experience, it is one of the most powerful ones, because it brings you into a space where remembering becomes part of the healing process and allows deep inner wounds to be healed from within.

Hello, I wasn't skimming so any misunderstanding that comes across from my reply would be trying to process your reply combined with my lack of knowledge or comprehension of what you were trying to convey.

Thank you for taking the time to further clarify. The word "meditation" was a typo in my post and should have read journeying but as I noticed too late (more than 5 mins after posting), I couldn't edit it.

I have mixed up astral and spiritual, though. I'm a newbie and so have a lot to learn. It was different to reiki as you mention, and also different to other types of Shamanic journeying work I've had done in the past. I guess I got lucky. Yes indeed, more research is in order! Thanks again.
