TAPPING INTO DIVINE ENERGY TO HEAL OURSELVES

Pardon my ignorance, but I had never heard of Bruno Groening till I read Dr Amir Farid Ishak's column in the Star over breakfast this morning. I was intrigued by the story of this man who had the power to heal people without any medication. Thousands would flock to his mass healings where he would teach them how they could heal themselves by tapping into the divine energy that was present everywhere. He called this "heilstrom" or the healing energy from God.

His healings have been medically verified and documented. You can listen to some of these testimonials in a documentary on his life and work. The Circle of Friends, a group set up in 1979, 20 years after Groening's death, organizes free talks to practice and spread his teachings around the world.

Groening died of stomach cancer in 1959. I am puzzled though as to why he wasn't able to turn his healing powers on himself. I found the answer in another article about his final days. Do read. A truly incredible story.

Before you dismiss Groening as another charlatan or shaman, you might want to also read Dr Amir's article. It gives a detailed background of Groening's life and teachings. A Google search of my own revealed more fascinating details about this spiritual healer. Below are the links and videos that I have checked out.



If your interest goes beyond just reading and viewing videos of Groening and his teachings, there is a free introductory talk given by the Circle of Friends right here in Kuala Lumpur.

If you would like to get an idea of what the talk is about, you may want to read this first and then decide if you want to attend the talk. It might not be everyone's cup of tea.
