A Reading is NOT a Healing
July 30th, 2009 by Rose Rosetree
What’s the big idea? When it comes to paranormal perception, why is a Reading NOT a Healing?
I believe this is the single most important idea for you to understand if you are curious about paranormal services like Aura Reading, Cutting Cords of Attachment, or Regression Therapy?
Inspired by an anonymous Blog-Buddy, today’s post is dedicated to helping you as a consumer.
READING VS. HEALING
Deeper Perception of any kind can give a person fascinating information. Usually folks who request “a reading” refer to Aura Readings or Psychic Readings, but sometimes a person is curious about what happened in another lifetime, as in Past-Life Reading.
All of this counts as paranormal. How best to satisfy that paranormal curiosity?
Many newbies to the paranormal are skeptics. Or (let’s admit it) dilettantes. Mostly they want to be able to brag to their friends, “I did that.” Then it’s on to the next fad.
Even the shallowest level of curiosity could lead to life-changing healing, however. That can happen provided that somebody goes for Healing to a real professional, rather than simply a Reading (however professional).
Healing at the level of your aura is a 21st century, leading-edge version of healing. It’s a huge upgrade over analysis at the surface level. Say that Gladys has all these concerns:
- Why do I have the problems I do?
- How can I solve those problems?
- What will shake this depression?
- How can I lose weight?
- Could I really stop smoking?
- Might I be able to Cut Cords of Attachment as a way to improve the relationship with my husband?
On the surface, Gladys might think the best she can do is to analyze her problems. Or she might attempt to modify her behavior. Best case: She could use the jet-propelled techniques of Energy Spirituality to move out problems at the level of her aura, or energy field. Eventually, she could learn to do techniques on her own. Before studying them, though, she might want to sample healing done by a professional.
Auras are the level of causation for Gladys’ problems. By comparison, the surface of life is where the problems are noticed. Readings, discussions, etc. only touch the surface of life. They don’t move or change anything beneath that surface. With Healing at the level of auras, Gladys can move out real-life structures like Cords of Attachment and Frozen Blocks of Energy from past experiences.
Healing at the level of auras produces results that are often dramatic, definitely permanent, and very (beautifully) real. That is HEALING.
By contast, a READING is like having an expert tell Gladys “There is a big, grey blob in your solar plexus chakra. It causes you to smoke. And here are all the interesting reasons why you have that blob.”
Problem #1 with a Reading is that it doesn’t change anything except for adding a new idea or two.
Structural problems at the level of aura, like Cords of Attachment and Frozen Blocks of Energy, won’t be fixed by mere ideas. If you had a ruptured appendix, honestly, would you sit there, howling in pain, and think, “Gee, right now I sure could use an interesting idea”?
Don’t get me wrong. Ideas are wonderful. But ideas are no substitute for healing. Actually, Gladys — or you — will be in a much better position to understand some things about yourself AFTER you receive a healing.
Ever hear the expression “Stinking thinking” of an alcoholic? When that drinker stops drinking, having a cleaner physiology is a form of healing. Based on that healing, the ex-drinker will become a better thinker.
CAN’T FIND IT BY YOURSELF? THEN YOU CAN’T HEAL IT, EITHER.
Problem #2 with confusing a Reading with a Healing is this notion:
Supposedly, if you hire an expert to tell you what your problems are (a Reading), then you can cobble together a solution using the skills you have picked up here or there (a Healing).
Often, I have had first-time clients in session with me who say, ”Tell me where all my Cords of Attachment are.”
They’re trying to save money, which is smart. Only this particular approach isn’t smart at all.
If you don’t have enough skill to find a Cord of Attachment on your own, trust me. You don’t have enough skill to properly cut that Cord of Attachment.
Could I teach you how to develop that skill? Sure. That’s why I wrote the first how-to book in the English language on how to Cut Cords of Attachment. (See LINKS, at the end of this post.)
That book also makes a great consumer guide, so you have an expert like me facilitate Healing for you, while you have some technical understanding about what is going on because you have read that book.
Unfortunately, I’m hearing that some people who are using that book in a way not intended. In Cut Cords of Attachment, you will find step-by-step instruction for developing professional-caliber skills.
- Before you cut a single Cord of Attachment, you learn many useful techniques as part of the 12 Steps to Cut Cords of Attachment (R).
- One of them is, of course, how to locate a particular Cord of Attachment.
- If you can’t do that step confidently, it’s time to re-read. Or, perhaps, receive a Healing of your own aura so that you have enough clarity in your system energetically to be able to do good-quality Aura Reading.
- If you can’t do the step of locating a Cord of Attachment, don’t ask someone else to find it for you and then try to skip ahead to a more complex step and Cut the Cord of Attachment.
Assuming that you are using the how-to book in a responsible manner, you know that as you’re building your level of skill:
- I ask that you start by cutting your own most Minor Cords of Attachment.
- After doing six or more of these cord cuttings, you can be ready to begin to cut your own Major Cords of Attachment.
Instead, I’m encountering some people who are so impatient (and foolish) that they are starting off trying to Cut a Major Cord of Attachment. Or even trying to Cut a Major Cord of Attachment for somebody else.
It doesn’t work, of course. Which adds to the confusion many people have that, supposedly, “It doesn’t work when you try to Cut a Cord of Attachment.” Or that, supposedly, “You must cut your cords every day.”
Oh, the gnashing of teeth!
If you’re in session with someone like me, better to use the time by having the healer actually do a quality job of cutting one Major Cord of Attachment. That can be life changing. It’s a Healing, not just a Reading.
WHEN IS ANALYZING A CORD OF ATTACHMENT JUST A READING?
Another popular request could be called Problem #3, Confusing a Reading with a Healing. A client like Gladys will ask for the information involved in a Healing without actually having the Healing.
For instance, Gladys might ask, ”Tell me what is in the Cord of Attachment with my mother.”
Whatever good would that do? Personally, I’d rather use session time to read goat entrails. (Just kidding. Don’t ask! I don’t do any kind of fortune-telling in my personal sessions.)
The dynamics of a Cord of Attachment can be really disgusting. You’ll find examples galore in the all those story boxes in Cut Cords of Attachment
But… you’ve guessed it. Doing a Reading on all that Astral-level STUFF that recirculates 24/7 in somebody’s aura, ouchers! Why on earth would you request a mere Reading when you could receive an actual Healing?
One of the 12 Steps to Cut Cords of Attachment (R) DOES involve describing all the “Cord Items” that were going on in a particular Cord of Attachment. That is done AFTER removing the Cord, however.
Then the knowledge becomes a useful validation, not a kind of “Nyah-nyah, you’re stuck with that, Gladys.”
UNDERSTANDING YOUR STUFF HAS LIMITED BENEFITS
Problem #4 with confusing a Reading with a Healing is the idea that a Reading could tell you about the causes of your problems. Supposedly, if that Reading isn’t enough to solve all your problems, all you need do is to take more time on your own, thinking extra to supplement the Reading. Then, supposedly, you’ll create Healing.
Actually, a Healing could remove the causes of a problem. Not just describe causes, remove them. Why put the cart before the horse? Heal, then describe. It doesn’t work the other way around.
The original blog-comments that inspired today’s post included these wonderful observations:
“I know there can be an obsession around ‘understanding’ and then, ‘Oh, when I understand everything, I will be happy, free, wise, un-hurtable, etc.’
“There are obvious problems with this — namely, being on the sidelines of life and living in one’s head. I have noticed my obsession with wanting to ‘understand’ my childhood to feel better, but it seems a slippery slope. Where to draw the line around how much understanding is enough?”
“Obvious problems” are oh-so beautifully noted by ANONYMOUS! Funny thing about that driving need to understand: STUFF can cause a person to obsess with thinking about something repeatedly. Gladys has this problem, actually!
What she doesn’t know is that STUFF in her aura is what keeps her thinking about her past, living on the sidelines. With less STUFF, she stops having that familiar, obsessive need to understand.
Instead, when a problem comes up in her life now, Gladys thinks about it in the here-and-now and deals with it. Period. Back to true living large!
Here is where I would draw the line around “how much understanding is enough”:
Give yourself a six-month vacation from trying to understand your childhood. Let that vacation start now, not when you understand just a little bit more. During those six months, have regular sessions with me of Aura Healing and Transformation. (You define what “regular” means — once a month, once a week, etc.)
Only continue those sessions so long as you find benefit from every single one, because they are designed to produce benefit that you can notice every single time.
Experience for yourself how one Healing that removes STUFF from your aura is worth 20 Readings or other attempts to gather important ideas about your life.
ENERGY RELEASE REGRESSION THERAPY
Problem #5 with confusing a Reading with a Healing pertains to Past-Life Regression Therapy.
What if you’re interested in using the huge potential of past-life Regression Therapy to improve this life?
A popular confusion goes like this: If I know about my past lives, supposedly that will heal my current problems.
Why? A Reading about your past lives is still not a Healing. One of the most stuck clients I’ve had in 39 years came to me with loads of problems. ”Roscoe” told me, rather smugly, “I have had 80 past lives. I know all about them. I figured it out for myself.”
In that first session, I facilitated an exorcism for Roscoe. He had suffered from horrible nightmares for years, and that one session stopped them.
Some day, I would like to facilitate Energy Release Regression Therapy for Roscoe, too. Meanwhile his brave statement makes Roscoe a kind of poster child for all those who “know all about” their past lives yet are loaded with problems.
There are many forms of Past-Life Regression Therapy and I do encourage you to seek out a practitioner who can bring you Healing, not just a way to visit the past and gain a kind of Reading. See the LINKS section below for information about Energy Release Regression Therapy.
This form of Regression Therapy, of course, has its name because the purpose of it is to release STUFF from your aura. Energy Release Regression Therapy can be a powerful way to initiate Healing.



Hi Rose,
I appreciate your response. Thank you. Some comments that come to mind:
You wrote:
“What she doesn’t know is that STUFF in her aura is what keeps her thinking about her past, living on the sidelines. With less STUFF, she stops having that familiar, obsessive need to understand”.
That makes sense to me… I had not thought of it like that before. I’m 42, and for all of my adult life I have had a lot of obsessiveness with my thinking: the “need” to “understand”, figure out problems only with my mind, obsessively ruminate on problems, analyzing why I have the feelings I do and if it is “OK”. It is tiring! I would like to change this. I have always accepted it as just an integral part of me.
You wrote:
“Instead, when a problem comes up in her life now, Gladys thinks about it in the here-and-now and deals with it. Period. Back to true living large!”
I want me some of that!!!! Is it possible? Less or NO(!) obsessing on thoughts??? This didn’t occur to me that it could be possible for me.

Thanks for this suggestion. I have been doing quite a few cord cuttings with you, which is freeing me up energetically. Are there phone sessions, other than cord cuttings, in which this type of orientation (over thinking/analyzing) can be address/healed???
Wow. just taking it in… When I was half way through your post, I was thinking, “Where is the part about how great validation is and how important that is, and healing…” but I see where you were going with pointing out the underlying causes for even this desire (validation) which is still tied to thinking, thinking, thinking in my case…
Again, thanks. : )
ANONYMOUS, you really are understanding. Hooray! You are definitely welcome.
And I know you’re speaking (writing) for many Blog lurkers as well with your beautifully phrased questions.
You asked, “Are there phone sessions, other than cord cuttings, in which this type of orientation (over thinking/analyzing) can be address/healed???”
Yes! You keep a VERY BRIEF log of situations in your life that are troublesome, just a few notes on where you are, whom you are with, what you did, what the other person did, what bothered you.
Bring those notes and we move into one experience, problem-solving as we go. That includes my doing Aura Reading of the players at various times, including the time of the difficulty.
It includes trying on types of behavior you could have done, based on what bothered you. Again, we can research the impact on you with an Aura Reading.
What is this type of session called? For now, I simply think of it as Aura Reading Research. Some day you — or another Blog-Buddy — or I, will find a more specific name. Any ideas, anyone?
Back at the practical question of what to do, when you have already had several sessions of Aura Healing and Transformation….
A session like the kind described in the previous comment is a great resource, but there also could be another 10 Cords of Attachment that would, each one, make for an excellent centerpiece of healing for one of your sessions. Those would be sessions of Aura Healing and Transformation.
The ideal, for you, might be some 90-minute sessions. You would bring a couple of names of candidates for Cutting a Cord of Attachment. You would also bring a couple of logged incidents. Then we can do both types of healing in the very same session.
[...] get the idea. Aura Reading Research can be really interesting. And appropriate, once there has also been a Healing! After I facilitate the Healing, I’m glad to take extra time for some [...]
