STARTING A HEALING CENTRE

7.2   STARTING A HEALING CENTRE

There appear to be five types of healers using the Sai Sanjeevini healing system.

1. Those who confine the healing work to themselves and their families alone.
2. Those who are doing community seva, but operating from their homes without fixed timings and quite informally. The majority of healers fall into this category.
3. Those who are running healing centres with prescribed timings.
4. Those rare few - not content to sit and wait for patients to come to them, who take their vehicles or go by bus to nearby villages and slums and do the seva. These healer's usually have a strong urge to reach locations of  disasters or epidemics, no matter how far, to serve the affected people.
5. Those who are focusing on distance healing by setting up Sanjeevini broadcasts for all cases referred to them as also for various calamities like earthquakes, floods, droughts, epidemics, pandemics, forest fires, accidents and for social diseases like corruption, dowry, exploitation, kidnapping, cruelty to animals, terrorism, conflicts and wars. Also setting up broadcasts for cultural and social upliftment of people, in particular the upliftment of under privileged who are deprived of basic necessities like, water, nourishing food, dignified housing, education.

Through our own experience and through the experience of other healers we find that although doing the healing work sitting at home is most convenient as a starting point, it can become a full time obsession which can drive the rest of the family quite crazy! In the interest of maintaining sanity all round it does become necessary at some point to lay down rules and regulations.

Whether you work from your own home, from a garage, from a school, from a community centre or from your car - you need to be organised.

Two tables (one for the healer and one for the person dispensing the Sanjeevinis), a few chairs, and simple racks or shelves within reaching distance of the dispensing table are a good starting point. (This does not apply to the "mobile" healer).
