Ancient healing approaches usually fall in one of two categories, the win/win/win approach to sickness and disease and the warrior approach.  The healing tradition that I’ve trained in, the Peruvian Hetaka Tradition, is a win/win/win approach.  In this tradition, the disease or injury is considered a messenger that is usually quite happy to leave the body once it has delivered its message. 

Healers in this tradition are taught to keep their attention focused on their Song.  This enables the clearest of intuitive information to pass from the intelligence of the cells, organs, bloods vessels and messengers (the disease, the bacteria, the toxins…) to the healer. The clarity of intuition when we are in our Song has been researched and supported by the Institute of Hearth Math (Shift: at the Frontiers of Consciousness: December 2004- February 2005). The disease or foreign substance wins because it is able to successfully deliver it message and be free to return to its origins, the body wins because it is free of the disease and has received healing energies, and the healer wins because of the honor of coordinating to the benefit of all concerned. 

In the power over approach, the healer battles with the disease and forces it out partly by taking the disease into the healer’s body and expelling it from his or her body.  If the disease has not completed the tasks it has come to do it will fight these healing efforts.    

The win/win/win healing is a peaceful approach that honors a need for balance and expresses gratitude to the intelligence of the client’s body, the disease, and the healer’s Song.  These healers open themselves to the flow of life energy from the earth the sun and the heart of the galaxy, the Creator, and spirit guides of the client and the healer that may be present (Jesus, Buddha, angels etc).
