Hi,


'Tis the season.  I believe this will be of interest to gardeners and to
those also who enjoy looking into the scientific exploration of energy
healing.

A book called *Secrets of the Soil* (by Peter Tomkins and Christopher Bird)
has an epilog with considerable discussion of Alla Kudryashova, an energy
healer who used mainly a hands-on approach such as we are familiar with
through Reiki training.  She is/was a natural, in the sense that she did not
receive training to discover her healing ability; it was discovered by a
family member.  She was amiably and supportively studied during the Soviet
years by the "Department of Theoretical Problems," an open-minded think tank
of scientists attached to the U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences.  She came to the
attention of the DTP due to her pronounced abilites.

For the gardener or farmer, something of interest is Alla's demonstrated
ability to increase the yield of beets (about a 70% increase in the field
where she treated the seed, versus untreated-seed fields).  Before she got
deliberately involved with plants, she had demonstrated an ability to cure
hatchling chikens that were ailing with a usually fatal digestive-tract
disease, and also to increase the percentage of chicken egg hatching.  Other
ag-related experiments are also described.

Another interesting thing:  Alla learned through her own experience (in other
words, not taught by a teacher or master) that she needed to avoid dark moods
and all sorts of pettiness if the healing power she channelled were to work
at its full potential.  I believe this tends to support the value of the
Reiki precepts recommended by Usui and other Reiki teachers.

Just thought I'd pass this along.  :-)


Blessings,

Joel
