Esoteric Healing

Readers drawn to the wisdom in our featured text by Alice A. Bailey, Serving Humanity, may wish to explore her wider body of work. 

In Serving Humanity, Bailey and the Tibetan Master Djwhal Khul teach that true service is not effort or moral duty, but the spontaneous outflow of a loving heart and an intelligent mind, arising only once the personality has cleared and aligned with the soul. Compiled from across her 24 books, it moves from the qualities of the true server out to a larger vision: a Plan carried forward by a Hierarchy of advanced beings. On Earth, that Plan is worked toward by a New Group of World Servers, scattered across every nation and field of human endeavour. 

Esoteric Healing is the fourth of five volumes making up 'A Treatise on the Seven Rays.' It treats healing as an exact and exacting science, resting on deep knowledge of the human body and its subtler counterparts rather than on faith alone. The book sets out the seven ray techniques of healing, works through the laws and rules that govern safe practice, and gives the basic causes of disease in detail – tracing them to karma carried over from the past, to causes inherent in the substance of the planet itself, and to disturbance in the emotional or mental bodies. Bailey and the Tibetan are candid that this science is still young, still in its experimental stages, and that its practice will increasingly involve groups of workers acting together rather than individual healers working alone. The book is written for anyone drawn to esoteric study more broadly, not only for those who intend to practise healing themselves.
