Not sure if anyone around here would call themselves fairly proficient, or better, at healing, but in case there's anyone who might be considered such, I wonder, out of curiosity, what do you reckon you have healed? That is, what have you cured not solely via bodily mechanisms, nutrition, excercise, or medicine (including placebo), but at least partly via your own focused healing intent? I'm not asking you to prove anything (other than to yourself - and feel free to share what had you convinced, if you like), but just to share your experiences.

For some reason I don't quite feel right about getting into the details, but I have seen amazingly good results from 2 directed intent healing situations where I was the initiator or co-initiator. One was for an injured animal and one was for a person. I have also experienced healing energy from someone else during a training excercise on healing, which came across as an unexpected rush of warmth moving throughout my body. It was very different than any expectation, so it didn't really fit a placebo effect. The results seem to be a function of need, passion, strong clear envisioning, and inner vision direction. A good teacher also helps. I have not had any clear OBE experiences, so I can't comment on OBE healing.

This question needs healing. :)

Tom has pointed out in his lectures that the only way to know you are having an effect is to work on healing in a lot of different situations with feedback. Then you will have some idea if you are having an effect or not. Otherwise it may just be a case of ego.

Personally I have felt a cold coming on gang busters a few times and been able to completely clear up the symptoms by the next day. I think I healed myself because from past experience when I have felt these same symptoms I have always been very sick the next day.

I am not a proficient or experienced healer by any means, but I have had a few notable experiences that remain in my head as my own personal "evidence".

I had pretty bad acne in my teens and into the first few years of my 20's. I had recently read You Can Heal Your Life by Louise Hay, and one of Tony Robbins books (and a few others that were in that realm). I decided to blend some of the ideas together into a plan to get rid of my acne. I came up with a 10 minute visualization and went through it about 3-5 times a day. In two weeks my face and back were perfectly clear for the first time since I was a pre-teen.

My Grandmother was receiving hospice care at her home. It wasn't exactly healing, but the same concept. She was at the end of a ten year journey with cancer. Her body was too far beyond healing, so I decided just to do what I could to make the process of dying easier. I repeated a visualization of her and I walking along a beach (she took me to the beach often when I was young). I imagined that I was telling her how much I love her and that it was fine to move on when she was ready, etc. I just tried to send as much love and goodness to her as I could. A few days after having started the visualization practice, I overheard my mom and aunt discussing how my grandmother - as she slipped in and out of awareness - kept talking about some man on a beach. Apparently, she didn't know who he was, but he was nice and she was not at all frightened by him.

On several occasions, more recently, I have used a similar process to help my dog. In once instance, I came home to find her laying on the floor unable to walk. She would get up and try, but her back legs just would not work. She would drag them for a bit and then flop back to the floor. She was otherwise fine, so I repeated a healing visualization while I laid with her for about an hour. I eventually moved her to the bedroom and slept with her on the floor... attempting to keep the intent burning all night. She woke me up the next morning to go outside and was acting and walking perfectly fine. I'm still not sure what the problem was. No problems with her legs since.

There are a few more, but those are the ones that have always stood out to me.
