FAQ

Dean in New York City, February 2002

Q: Is Relational Energy Healing just like Reiki?

A: Not really. Reiki is a specialized form of energy healing work, where you are taught certain techniques via an initiation. It is not therapeutic work with the chakra system.

Q: What about Brennan Healing Science? Since you where a Class Dean at BBSH, do you offer Barbara Brennan-style healing work?

A: No. Brennan Healing Science is a proprietary system of The Barbara Brennan School of Healing (BBSH). If you are drawn to Barbara Brennan’s approach, and are looking for a practitioner, please visit her web site for an international list of graduates, and for workshop locations. Need Dean to recommend one graduate from the BBSH graduate list? Contact John Shordike: shordike@mindspring.com

Q: So, what is the aura, or the Auric Field?

A: The aura is the field of bio-energy consciousness that surrounds and interpenetrates all living beings. As we human beings become more conscious we begin to perceive reality beyond the normal range of our everyday senses; we begin to want more from our lives. The Auric Field contains the imprint of our past, and our potential for further personal or spiritual evolution.

Q: What are Chakras?

A: Chakras are a vital part of our consciousness “hardware”. Originally discovered in ancient India and China these non-visible energy centers organize both physiological and psycho-emotional functioning in human beings. Trained energy healers perceive them as wheels of light, or vortexes of energy that run the length of the body. Relational Energy Healers follow the ancient yogic insight that the chakras resemble flowers with a vibrant center (to receive or emit relational energy cords) and several “petals”.

Q:What is a “relational” energy field?

A: The Relational Energy Field is the energetic template of how we relate to and perceive other individuals. Relational Energy work is a process that supports personal and interpersonal transformation through the healing of our relationships. I think we would all agree that human beings are profoundly relational creatures. Since higher personal levels of development are reflected in and transformed by a client’s auric body, a relational energy healing process consists of in-depth work on the energy psychology of chakra development, work with chakra cords, Pranic or Qi transmission, and the clearing of Astral energies.

Q: Are telephone sessions as effective as in-person sessions?

A: Yes. Just as your mobile phone connects you with friends and family across the planet so psychic energy healing does not need to be live, or in-person. Dean uses the information supplied by you prior to the session, along with a recent photograph, in order to psychically “tune” into you, and to be able to direct energy healing into your system. Additionally, many people feel safer by receiving energy work in the comfort and convenience of their own home. Dean’s private practice is international: mostly via Skype video conferencing, and by telephone sessions.

Q: I want to design my own web site, and I need help. Who created this web site?

A: This is a WordPress site using a Theme by Magnus Jepson of WooThemes.Com, and is optimized and maintained by Bradley Spencer. Dean highly recommends Bradley Spencer for Search Engine Optimization, and for all things WordPress.

Q: I live too far away from a healing school, and some of them are really expensive, but I really want to learn more. What do you suggest?

A: Dean offers video conferencing tutorial sessions that are personalized for you, and for your level of development as a healer, or student healer. Dean also offers audio recordings for sale. Books are a great start, but can only take you so far; training and mentoring are essential for your advancement in this field of work.

Q: How do I pay for a session?

A: After each session Dean will send you a PayPal bill, with which you can pay using your bank account, or your credit card. All Dean’s sessions are pre-paid. Please note that session cost is dependent upon where you reside: USD for residents of North America, Euros for Eurozone residents, and Yen for Japanese and other residents of Asia.  Go here for current rates.

Q: Can I take material from your web site, such as your articles, photos, and artwork, and post them on my own web site or blog?

A: Please do not cut-and-paste any of Dean Ramsden’s material without prior permission. Dean is happy for you to link to his articles, though. (Very happy, in fact.) A lot of the art work on this site was commissioned by Dean, and he takes most of the photographs. Music on his audio programs is with the artist’s permission, or he obtains a license for commercial usage from them. So, please link; don’t pilfer, edit, or steal. The Karma Police are watching all of us. Nobody rides for free.
