FAQs ABOUT EGYPTIAN-ESSENE HEALING
Why is this form of healing called Egyptian-Essene?
Certain credible sources regard the Essenes as guardians of an ancient healing science, which can be traced back to the methods developed by Egyptian priests during the reigns of Amenhotep III and his son Akhenaten (Eighteenth Dynasty - 14C BCE). Examining some Ancient Egyptian practices and comparing them with those of the Essenes reveals an apparent connection between the two:
-
The concept of the human being composed of multiple bodies, layered from the most subtle to the densest, with the physical body being the outermost.
-
The use of aura reading as a diagnostic tool to assess the health of these subtle bodies.
-
An understanding of chakras and nadis (life currents), where disruptions can lead to imbalances affecting the physical body. Many therapeutic practices of the Egyptian-Essenes focus on restoring harmony among the chakras and ensuring the smooth flow of vital energy through the nadis.
What binds the Ancient Egyptians to the Essenes?
The term "Egyptian-Essene" healing refers to a therapeutic practice that is believed to have origins in ancient Egypt and was later adopted and adapted by the Essenes. Several factors connect the Ancient Egyptians to the Essenes:
​
-
Historical Influence: This ancient therapeutic practice dates back to the time of Pharaoh Akhenaten (18th Dynasty, 14th century BCE), who significantly advanced medicine, spirituality, and art. Knowledge from this period was carried to Palestine during the Exodus led by Moses.
-
Cultural Interactions: Judea, the region where the Essenes lived, was under Egyptian influence for significant periods. This influence was part of the broader cultural and trade exchanges prevalent in the ancient Near East.
-
Trade Connections: The Essenes had direct contact with Egypt through trade, facilitating the exchange of medical and spiritual knowledge.
-
Archaeological Evidence: There is archaeological evidence suggesting the presence of small Essene communities in Egypt dedicated to healing. One such example is the Essene settlement near Lake Mareotis, indicating a direct link and exchange of therapeutic practices between the two cultures.
What are the similarities and differences between Egyptian-Essene healing and other types of healing?
Egyptian-Essene healing shares similarities with various other healing methods and traditions such as Traditional Chinese Medicine, Yoga, Ayurveda, Reiki, and Pranotherapy. These similarities include concepts like vital energy (prana), energy channels (nadis or meridians), and energy centres (chakras). For instance, while the Essenes referred to energy centres as "fire wheels" or "lamps" and energy channels as "currents of life," they employed tools like sound, light, voice, psychic surgery, and aura reading in their healing sessions. Practitioners of Egyptian-Essene healing consider the individual's multidimensionality, addressing both physical and subtle bodies to identify and resolve energy blockages or imbalances.
Comparatively, Reiki involves the laying on of hands, akin to Egyptian-Essene healing, but does not always require physical contact, and the recipient typically plays a more passive role. In contrast, Pranotherapy involves the transfer of the practitioner's prana to the recipient's body, while in Egyptian-Essene healing, the practitioner acts as a conduit for celestial and earth energies, guiding the recipient to become aware of their blockages at physical, mental, or emotional levels.
Essentially, Egyptian-Essene practitioners serve as instruments for energy transmission, setting aside personal judgment and ego to facilitate the recipient's empowerment and healing journey. The recipient actively participates in their own healing process, with the therapist offering guidance and support along the way.
Who can benefit from Egyptian-Essene healing?
Egyptian-Essene treatments are accessible to all, regardless of their beliefs, religion, or life experiences. They cater to individuals seeking inner development, spiritual exploration, or psycho-physical well-being. A receptive mindset and a positive attitude toward self-discovery are also important. Participants should be willing to quiet their minds and let go of defensive barriers, allowing their authentic selves to surface and their inner voice to be heard. Only what individuals are prepared to confront and resolve will come to light during these gentle healing sessions.
It's important to note that Egyptian-Essene treatments are not intended to replace conventional medical or psychological care but rather to complement it. They offer assistance and support by addressing the underlying causes that contribute to physical, emotional, or psychological distress, thus promoting harmony between body and soul.
While these therapies primarily aim to establish a connection with the individual's soul—the deepest part of the self unaffected by life's challenges—individuals with psychiatric disorders and under medical supervision will undergo careful evaluation to determine their suitability for Egyptian-Essene Healing.
