DEDICATED TO THE ART OF LIVING IN THE LIGHT
PUBLISHER’S
NOTE
CONSCIOUS HEALTH & WELL BEING
Just as the Christ and illuminated spiritual beings in all the world’s religions and philosophies have seen the connection between healing and spiritual activity, so does Astara include healing as a paramount part of its spiritual program. We felt it appropriate to dedicate this issue to the vast healing techniques found in the Astara teachings.
Conscious well being is a holistic approach to wellness that emphasizes mindfulness, intentionality, and a deep connection between mind, body, and spirit. It goes beyond superficial well being practices and involves a conscious effort to understand and nurture one’s overall health and happiness. Using prana and White Light to direct divine healing forces towards the physical body; Astara focuses on the following integrative system of healing:
Mindfulness: Being present and aware of thoughts, feelings, and sensations without judgment.
Intentionality: Setting clear goals and making conscious choices that align with overall wellbeing.
Holistic approach: Considering physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health as interconnected.
Self-awareness: Understanding one’s strengths, weaknesses, values, and beliefs.
Personal growth: Continuously developing and expanding one’s potential.
Essentially, conscious wellbeing is about living with purpose and meaning, making choices that support overall health and happiness, and cultivating a deep connection to oneself and the world around. The benefits are real and include reduced stress and anxiety, increased self awareness and self-compassion, greater resilience and immunity, as well as greatly improved physical health. Astara is blessed to have great healing instructors, prayer petition activations and weekly meditations and classes that guide you towards your healthiest life experience.
We Give Thanks. We Give Thanks. We Give Thanks.

ON A PERSONAL NOTE Wishes of Happiness and Health
As most of you know I love working with Healing Angels. This year I have really focused on the happiness and good health of the Astara organization and all its congregation. I use many modalities of healing and vibrational healing is essential to the process. On the surface it may seem like easy work to pray and visualize the good health and happiness of an organization and its people. But as spiritual practitioners know, it is an ever unfolding process that takes consistency, determination and continual re-calibration of technique and mechanics. The mind - bodyspirit connection is complex and the influence of chaos and illusion on the mind constantly needs broken down and purified so healing energy can take over. I am grateful for the Healing Angels of Astara that influence all our healing efforts.
Toxic stress (toxic stress is stress that creates malfunctions in the body’s processes) is rampant in today’s society and deeply harmonizing the body and mind towards significantly improving heightened states of awareness is where I am super focusing my energies in all my current interactions with Astarians. Increasing the Light in the nervous system develops the ability for inner transformation and healing. I hope some of you have experienced this transformation and that it has brought you some inner peace and physical comfort. Helping you learn these techniques so you can use them is my main focus in the Mystic Vibration Zooms and the Blessings & Healings sessions. When you heal you get healed-that’s the natural law-and what Earlyne practiced too.
A happy and healthy organization is a successful organization and your participation, openness and engagement is crucial in engaging the ability to channel the Divine. Keep sending in your prayer petitions, encouraging others to sign up, and joining in on Zoom when you can. We can’t do it alone.
Love you guys, Greg
THE PAST AS A PRESCRIPTION: ENERGY HEALING FOR THE FUTURE
by Valarie Anderson
There is one thing the pandemic taught us and it’s that the “science” is dynamic and the experts are not infallible. It is ironic that energy healing, deeply rooted in the ancient past, may be the future for a healthy tomorrow. It seems as though humankind has gone full circle in the art and science of healing but here we are. Americans are not experiencing good over all health. The Western medical philosophy of “treat the symptoms” not the cause, driven by an overinflated pharmaceutical industry, has been controversial to the general health and wellness of society. Mental health has been pushed into the headlines and people are finally waking up to the connection to physical health, although the relationship is not well established yet.
AI is seeping into the medical industry and improvements on imaging, breakthroughs in gene editing and disease diagnosis are accelerating and integrating into established systems. Personalized healthcare is becoming more popular. There are many good things that are rapidly changing the landscape. This is not an article about replacing or rejecting traditional medicine.

What You Think Matters: Positive Thinking is Associated with Better Health, Less Pain
The Cleveland Clinic
UNHEALTHY WORLD
Global obesity rates are 16% according to the WHO. The British Heart Foundations states approximately 20.5 million people died in 2021 from coronary heart and circulatory disease. Global cancer related deaths have been a growing trend due to population aging and growth. IARC tracks 9.7 million cancer related deaths in 2022. Sadly, suicide is a serious public health problem in the United States. After 2 consecutive years of declines in suicide (47,511 in 2019 and 45,979 in 2020), 2021 data indicate an increase in suicide to 48,183. (CDC). In 2022, an estimated 111,029 people died from drug overdoses in the United States. Surely, there is more we can be doing to create a healthier population.
This is where alternative methods of healing enters. Energy healing specifically. So what is energy healing? The general notion is that the body has the innate ability to heal itself and that all forms of dis-ease are created by an interruption of the mind, body spirit, balance. This is the holistic approach and looking at the stats above, it makes sense to integrate all of our bodies for optimum health.
ENERGY IS EVERYTHING
We live full blown in the etheric age although most people don’t realize it. Consider your cell phone as an example of how much is accomplished by energy that we cannot see. Scientists are finally accepting the fact that there is an energy body that surrounds the physical body that greatly affects its wellbeing and vitality. Of course metaphysical practitioners and believers understand this energy- and in ancient times, used it to the advantage of the well being of the individual.
ASTARA’S HEALING SYSTEM
Part of what Astara offers is instructions in healing science. In fact, it is so important that in The Book of Life Degree Lessons, Astara’s healing science is mentioned within the first 10 pages. Throughout history there has been a connection between spirituality and healing. Almost all important religious figures have had supernatural healing “powers”. Jesus often used healings as opportunities to teach about forgiveness, faith, and other important spiritual concepts.
Are spiritual miracles and faith healings signs of love and compassion from God or are they teachings that man himself can do these miracles? At Astara, it is generally accepted that, “The incredible healing power which operates under the direction of the subconscious mind via the sympathetic nervous system, is available to everyone.” 1st Degree, Lesson 1
DIRECTING THE HEALING FORCES
Understanding the etheric body, which is the life-force or vital energy of the physical body, is of paramount importance in understanding energy healing. It is noted, that one does not have to become an actual healer, but knowledge of life force of the physical form as the battery charger of the physical form is crucial. Astara employs the tremendous life-force energy, in and surrounding the physical form, through focalized thought force. Including:
• Visualization of the White Light (Life force, prana,)
• Prayer and meditation
• Affirmation of the power of the “life force” for cell stimulation
Through this focalized mental energy, the White Light acts as a magnet pulling in vitalized currents creating a electromagnetic forcefield.
“Every atom every molecule which builds up the cells, is built around a minute place of light which is a spiritual force. It is this infitesimal light dot, divine in aspect, which is the secret power that hold together the atom and the molecule.”
The diagram below shows the energy force field of the individual, which through scientific instruments, shows that the nodes (or touching points) are controlled by thoughts, or altered by mental activity. It is the 3 dimensional picture of your aura.
Electric Forcefield and Its Nodes Surrounding the Body
(FromresearchconductedinDeLaWarrLaboratories,England) continued
Earlyne Chaney, Beyond
CHARGING THE CELLS
When you become ill the physical and the etheric forms have become disconnected. A great example is a light bulb unplugged from the socket. Your cells do not receive the etheric energy (White Light) and “darkness” takes over the body. Eventually the cells die. Think of your cell phone. You must constantly recharge the battery and update the programs for optimal performance.
The White Light life source, prana or vital energy can be properly directed to keep all cells in perfect harmony. Medical science often stimulates the action of this life force through drugs which sometimes work but often carry toxic side effects. If the atmosphere is completely charged with vitality life force currents-a perpetual flow or intake to the physical form should guarantee perfect health.
However, our surroundings and “wavelengths” are often filled with negative mental insecurities and are often vacant of love, kindness and divine assurance. These negative forces completely overpower the life-force in the etheric body. It is a wonder the physical form can survive at all. We are not recharging our batteries sufficiently or at all.
Directing the Healing Forces:
“I am surrounded by the pure White Light”
Meditation and prayer is an endless source of healing power. Concentration upon the vital White Life force creates a positive thought form of yourself and begins to replace the negative one. Refer back to the illustration on the previous page. You are reprogramming the communication nodes that have been infiltrated by negative wavelengths from the environment. With concentration, you are recharging your own electric forcefield with positive healing Light. Your efforts in drawing in the recharged life-force or White Light into your chakras and etheric form, begin to affect the physical cells, stimulating them to pulsate with healing energy. One’s form is entirely permeated with atoms and molecules able to communicate with mental activity at the speed of Light. Purposeful communication changes the pattern of the nodes surrounding the physical body. Self-healing is therefore not only possible but occurs subconsciously at any given moment.
Astara has created a simple prayer-petition format to help stimulate the White Light visualization process. There are also easy meditation and affirmations that build up and recharge the physical body surrounding it with the White Light. When connected with Divine source and other healing practitioners, the affects are magnified. Astara practices connecting White Light healing requests on a daily basis and privately and publicly once a week where anyone can join in. There are many practices that incorporate the same techniques. Understanding the basic mechanics of your own energy field is a major step in the en-lightenment of the future well being of a healthier society.
This is a brief overview of energy healing as Astara teaches it. There are additional teachings that delve deeply into the healing physiological and metaphysical practices for those who are interested in master level healing. The Book of Life Degree Lessons delve deep into the ancient practices that have been studied by the greats Masters of the Mysteries. Details on the above techniques are found in the 1st Degree, Lesson 1.
Crystals are excellent to use in prayer and healing or to place upon certain areas of the physical form that need harmonizing.
Crystals have unique vibrational frequencies that can interact with the body’s energy field, promoting balance and well-being. Crystals can be blessed and magnetized with high voltage astral light by one who understands the proper magnetization.
CRYSTALS COME IN MULTIPLE SHAPES AND ARE MADE OF VARIOUS COMPOSITIONS DIFFERENT MINERALS AND GEMSTONES.
Restores Balance: Grounding energy of raw Crystals helps spiritual practitioners balance.
Increase Vitality: Cleansing properties of crystals purify the system for therapeutic benefits.
Chakra Alignment: Help energy flow to chakra centers in a positive and energizing manner.
Activate Spiritual Energy: Awakens divine energy and activates protective energy. Shields from negative energy and environments.
ASSISTED SELF HEALING
Go to a private place where you can be alone. (It is good to practice Lama Yoga breathing first). Pray earnestly, sincerely and from deep within your heart. Build a radiant thought form of yourself.
Silently Affirm:
I AM WHOLE …
I AM FILLED WITH LIGHT …
I AM PERFECT …
I AM FILLED WITH LIGHT
THE LIGHT FILLS EVERY CELL OF MY BODY …
THE LIGHT SURGES INTO AND THROUGH MY BLOOD, MAKING IT A FOUNTAIN OF LIFE, BRINGING PURITY, VITALITY, YOUTH AND BEAUTY INTO MY BEING …
I AM IN THE INFINITE LIGHT AND THE INFINITE LIGHT IS IN ME …
I AM SURROUNDED BY THE PURE WHITE LIGHT OF THE CHRIST (or whatever source you wish)
ONLY GOOD CAN COME TO ME … ONLY GOOD SHALL GO FROM ME …
I GIVE THANKS. I GIVE THANKS. I GIVE THANKS!

THE HEALING
CHRIST
Astara encourages the use of images of Master teachers to assist in obtaining healing energies.
There is nothing more excellent than meditating upon a great being such as Jesus the Christ or the Virgin Mary, the blessed Buddha, Moses, Krishna, Mohammed — or a great spiritual Teacher.
There is an ancient adage which states: you become like that upon which you meditate. If you reflect daily upon your ideal of humanity, you grow perpetually toward that ideal. As your mind centers upon a certain spiritual being of your choice, you establish a contact of which the Divine One inevitably becomes aware.
As time advances and you hold your “Teacher” in your mental eye, you will become more and more able to quiet the lower mind. As the lower mind becomes stilled the higher mind expands and it is through this mental expansion that the Masters reach you individually. After a Teacher becomes aware of being selected as a seeker’s meditative ideal, the Teacher awaits opportunity to make contact.
When this occurs, you will suddenly sense a great light beginning to shine somewhere in your consciousness and then, in a burst of mental expansion and light, you will behold the Mater Teacher upon whom you have meditated. It will be a spiritual experience, the Teacher appearing in a vivid vision, or in an inner burst of light.
“When the seeker is ready, the Master will appear.”
Messages from the Master Teachers
A HEALER’S PROTOCOL
Anthony Guidera is far away from the bright film lights of his past, but like Astara Founder Earlyne Chaney who once worked in the same movie industry, he continues to share his light on and off camera.
Anthony is a volunteer Master Degree Lesson instructor and energy healer at Astara. This isn’t his first foray into the healing arts. He discovered his innate healing talent (yes some people do have a more natural healing ability) while studying in Los Angeles and has committed his time and energy to healing others when and where he can. Thousands have benefited from his unique and affective healing sessions and he is an integral part of connecting the healing energy to the prayer petitions at Astara. Here is his go to protocol for energy healing:
Why did you begin doing energy healing?
I met my teacher Gmcks in 1996 and started an intense study with him. I started teaching his protocols two years later. A very good friend of mine was going blind and was miraculously cured by Pranic Healing. She had access to the best doctors in the world who told her she was uncurable. She introduced me to Gmcks and it changed my life. I officially taught Pranic healing for over 10 years, I did clinics before weekends and had my own center for a few years as well. I always studied Astara as Master Choa, an Astarian, instructed us to.
Now, I do healings almost daily in some form or manner and it is a big part of my spiritual life. It is so rewarding to know I’ve helped people and have had a part in relieving their suffering in some way. I have a full time job but I still make time for Astara healing petitions and to teach Book of Life Club. Keeping the energy work going is priority.
What is the first thing you do right before a healing?
Invoke. I invoke because God is the only one who heals and I want those ascended Masters and the celestial and spiritual helpers to assist if possible in healing the individual. Nothing is more powerful than God and I want that power on my side.
How do prepare a client for their healing?
I ask them to be open and receptive. I ask them to measure their pain on a scale of 1-10. Talk to them about what is ailing them, how long they’ve been experiencing it. I might suggest they verbally do a forgiveness saying. I also ask them for permission to get rid of the negative subconscious beliefs or energy that is blocking them from healing.
How can a client get the most out of their healing session?
It’s good to be open and receptive. Sometimes I will ask them to open and close their hands and count out loud because it makes them receptive because they’re following directions. It’s important that they are comfortable and relaxed but it’s not necessary for them to lie down unless they want to.
Is it ever necessary for you to touch the client?
No. We’re not working on the physical body, we’re working on the mental, astral and etheric bodies which interpenetrates the physical body. It’s the same way a sponge works. If you put a sponge in water, the water is both inside and outside the sponge. If you add dye to the water it appears in the sponge. In the same way the physical body absorbs the healing energy I am projecting. You also need a license in most states to physically touch a client. I’m not here to replace physicians but to expedite and accelerate the body’s innate healing process.
Do you use any tools when healing?
Of course. Do you use your hands to clean your house or do you plug in the vacuum cleaner? I use a dorje,a crystal sometimes an ankh, in the same way you would use a vacuum in your home. I use rubbing alcohol to clean my healing crystal, or dorje because it’s like having a bag in your vacuum cleaner that gets full. You have to dump it out. It gets full of dirt and contamination. Healing tools take on some of the residual contamination while you’re using them. The alcohol cleans the energy away. I also use the OM mantra or sunshine, while cleaning.
How do you close out a healing session?
I assign healing angels to continue the process. I ask the patient on a scale of 1-10 how they feel. Whatever the improvement percentage is I suggest they acknowledge gratitude for that increased percentage of improvement. In turn that increases the receptivity of the client to assimilate even more healing energy into their system. I always give thanks to my guides and the healing angels that I first invoked to.
What do you have to do to keep your own healing energy strong?
Remain humble, breathing techniques, meditating, I don’t drink smoke or do drugs and I have a clean 90% vegetarian diet. I continually study and read ASTARA because every time I read it I feel I am evolving spiritually and evolving my healing technique. There is always something new I learn even though I have studied those books for over 25 years. And of course I am grateful, grateful to be able to be giving a little bit back.

Spagyery or spagyric medicine, is a branch of alchemical tradition that focuses on the preparation of remedies and substances using alchemical processes. The word “spagyric” comes from the Greek terms “spao” (to draw out) and “ageiro” (to gather), reflecting the method’s core principles of separation, purification, and recombination.
It is deeply rooted in Hermetic philosophy, which posits that everything in the universe is interconnected and that true knowledge comes through the synthesis of spiritual and material insights. In healing: It is considered a form of holistic medicine, intended not just to treat physical ailments but to align the body, spirit, and soul, fostering overall well-being. A key aspect is the transformation of raw materials into purified substances, which is seen as a parallel to personal and spiritual refinement.

HOW YOUR MIND AFFECTS HEALING ENERGIES:
HERE ARE A NUMBER OF METAPHYSICAL PRINCIPLES
WHICH ARE BASIC TO HEALING
Mind acts upon the body through the cranial brain, Emotions react upon the body through the solar plexus brain.
When a healer’s mind and emotions are expressed during a treatment the subject’s mind and emotions respond to a greater or lesser degree (often non consciously).
Thoughts continue to exist in their own energy fields after they are expressed by the mind. Those energy fields gradually lose her vitality and disintegrate.
Thoughts exist in forms, because the nature of the energies involved is morphogenic, meaning that the forms are generated out of the idea within the thoughts. The forms are not always well defined. They are in the general shape of the idea they depict.
A thought is a powerful healing agency because of its close affinity with and influence on any living body or area of body. The reason for this is that a thought is an electronic organism and a living body is a combination chemical, electromagnetic organism.
Thoughts influence matter through a vibrational induction. Vibrational induction means that the energy of a thought, when placed alongside or within an object of matter, is induced into that object. (When a wire conducting an electrical current is placed alongside another wire that is not conducting, energy from the first wire flows along the second by induction.)
Thoughts move in wavelike motion. They may move at random, or they may be directed, like a wave or beam of light.
Thought metabolizes. It makes energy available in an organism.
Thoughts move matter in space. (PSYCHOKINESIS)
Thoughts change the form of matter to a lesser or greater degree. (PSYCHOMORPHISM)
Thoughts change the inherent nature of things. (PSYCHOPHUSIS)
Matter tends to conform in shape and nature to the thought form with which it is in contact. (A thought form is the shape taken by mental energies as thoughts are expressed).
-By Robert Chaney The Power of Your Own Medicine
THE HANDS OF A HEALER THE SCIENCE OF THE MAGNETIC FLUID
It is through nerve fluid and prana, streaming from the palms of the hands, that a healer directs healing energy towards the patient. It is the flow of this magnetism into the patient’s body which will restore it to wholeness and bring the healing so desired.
Highly developed clairvoyants are able to see powerful currents of nerve ether emanating from the hands of a healer. These singular individuals have an abundance of this important personal magnetism. The magnetic person is one who can charge an entire room just through their presence due to the dynamic flow of the nerve fluid. It is sometimes so highly charged that it is as if an electric current flows from the healer to permeate the auras of others.
It is the magnetic force in the nerve fluid that enables the healer to accomplish the cure. The magnetic currents flowing out through the radial nerves in the hands can be manipulated by the mind, which is the method Astara uses. The magnetic force, by mental effort, is projected through the ethers to reach anyone, near or far. Distance is no obstacle.
The magnetic healing force is sent in the form of the White Light which can penetrate the ailing body of a faraway Astarian and help restore health. It will permeate the body surely as if it were medicine injected by a hypodermic needle. It will immediately enter the nerve fluid of the nervous system of and will be infused throughout the nervous systems and the blood, helping restore the body to wholeness. If a complete healing cannot occur because of some blockage in the subconscious mind, or because of karmic debt, or because of a chosen spiritual pathway, still some betterment is gained if the Astarian can mentally open to this White Light.
“The mark of the true healer is the degree of pranic energy which radiates outward from one’s hands.”
Prana radiates outward from the body through the large radial nerves — the two trunk nerves which begin between the shoulder blades, in the heart chakra, and run along the arms. These radial nerves terminate in the end of the thumb and the first finger of each hand. The negative force travels via the left hand and the positive via the right hand.
There is little or no White light escaping from the hands of the material minded. Only one who has spiritualized the heart center, making it possible for that center to become diffused with Divine Substance which radiates its light throughout one’s bloodstream, can be termed a true healer. From the palms of your hands — and particularly from the thumb and forefinger, will pour steady streams of spiritual power which, when directed to another individual, will impart to the healer that power or light.

REDUCE YOUR MEDIA FOMO (FEAR OF MISSING OUT):
Social and traditional media can create a false sense of reality, making it easy to feel like you’re missing out on all the fun. Unplugging can help you realize that your life is just as valuable and fulfilling, maybe even more so. In a political year the negative and divisive messaging can be overwhelming and distracting. By unplugging, you can focus on building deeper, more meaningful relationships with the people in your life. Taking a break can help you reduce stress, improve your mood, and foster a more positive outlook.
ASTARA’S TOP 5 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR POSITIVE MEDIA INTERACTIONS:
1Join a zoom meeting Sunday- Wednesday with fellow spiritual seekers
2Listen to a meditation from Astara1951You tube in your own sacred meditation space
3Download a course from the Astara Light Techniques series to elevate your conscious evolution
4Create a special quiet space for your meditation practice and enhance it with something special from the Astara store
5Tap into the Astara prayer-petitions and help energize all those who have sent in requests
Social and network media can be a major distraction, hindering your ability to focus and be productive. Taking a break can help you improve your concentration and get more done that helps your health and spiritual growth on deeper levels.
