Dear Jon, >> I was re-reading the theory section in IIH the yesterday and had a question aobout the influence of the elements on physical health. If illnesses come about due to an elemental imbalance/disharmony, how can this be sorted out? Would the Step2 astral exercises be the way (balancing your soul mirror), or, as the health problem is physical, the elements need to be balanced on the physical plane. If that is case, how is it achieved? One reason I ask is I've had a stye under my eye for ages, and it has proved immune to normal western medicine :o) I wondered if there was something I needed to do myself to get rid of it? << It requires a fairly advanced degree of aptitude with the Elements and Fluids to achieve a physical healing. Attaining the astral Equilibrium (soul mirror work) can be curative of minor ailments but its greatest power in this regard is that it leaves one less susceptible to illness. In the interim, suggest that you investigate other healing modalities for your stye, such as Chinese medicine or Ayurveda. >> Oh, and btw, if there are any people in England who are trying to get hold of any of Bardon's books or Rawn's commentary (and don't want to wait the 4-6 weeks for Amazon to deliver), they're available off the shelf at Watkins books in London. (and no, I don't work there... :o) << ;-) Thanks for the plug! Thanks to the tireless efforts of Faulks Books (the UK distributor for Merkur books and my own books), Watkins has been VERY supportive. My best to you, :) Rawn Clark 15 Feb 2003 rawnclark@... rawn@... http://www.ABardonCompanion.com http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BardonPraxis
