Spiritual Healing

 by the editors

Celebrating Bruno Groening in 400 Lectures Worldwide.

 
This summer, more than 2,000 people from 40 countries attended a ceremony in Geseke, Germany, to celebrate the l00th birthday of Bruno Groening (also spelled Groening). Born in Gdansk, Poland, on May 31, 1906, Groening became a sensation in postwar Germany in 1949 after the successful healing of a young boy, Dieter Huelsmann, who suffered from muscular dystrophy. As many as 5,000 people gathered in front of the Huelsmann family home, and many thousands more gathered in numerous places thereafter to hear Groening speak and to receive a healing.

Thousands Throng for Healing

What happened was deeply moving. In a country where signs of destruction were everywhere, mass gatherings called "armies of the wretched" were reportedly transformed. The sick became well, the suffering happy, the lame could suddenly walk again and the blind could see. People who had seemed defeated and beyond help thronged to Groening for help, and "what had been unimaginable before was suddenly becoming a reality."
Media coverage was controversial, and public opinion varied widely. Some called Groening a 'miracle doctor,' others a 'charlatan.' He had no medical training nor theological education. ""I am not to understand by mind, just by heart," Groening stated. He helped anyone who asked and refused all payment. The only thing he asked for was a written report of the healing.
Groening kept saying: "It is not me who does heal; it is the Divine force that helps and heals. This Divine power is free of charge, costs nothing at all and can be used by anybody.... I am not telling you anything new."
Groening taught that the human body is constantly environed by healing waves which only have to be absorbed and that, like batteries, our bodies require this energy. When depleted, the body experiences fatigue, exhaustion, nervousness, anxieties and finally, illness. He constantly talked about the Divine force, life force, healing stream - or Heilstrom*, as he termed it-that anybody could take in easily. According to him, no illness is incurable, and this has been confirmed.
Doctors witnessed several astonishing healings during a medical assessment of Groening's talents that was carried out in collaboration with the University Clinic of Heidelberg (under Prof. von Weizsaecker, published by the Revue, 1949.)
In 1992, the Medical Scientific Group was founded in order to substantiate these healings. It includes several thousand physicians, psychologists, healing practitioners and representatives from other health-care professions in 60 countries. The Medical Scientific Group collects, verifies and documents testimonials. They have compiled an impressive list of case histories (see website next page).

Lecture Events Coming to Our Region

Before his death in 1959, Groening helped in creating groups of people to gather and absorb the healing stream on their own. 1979 saw the founding of "Bruno Gröning's Circle of Friends," which passes on his teachings and reports of miracle healings of almost every imaginable illness continue to occur. As of 2002, more than 1,200 such groups meet worldwide to take up the Heilstrom* together.
This fall, medical doctors from Germany, Austria and Switzerland are offering lectures in more than 60 countries. More than 150 will be in major cities in Canada and the USA. In our area, lectures will be offered in Atlanta starting Saturday, Oct. 14; in Knoxville on Tuesday, Oct. 17, in Asheville on Wednesday, Oct. 18 (see classified ad on page 28) and in Charlotte on Friday, Oct. 20. See www. bruno-groening.org/northamerica for specifics and contact information.
Focus will be on: • the possibilities and limits of spiritual healing, • medically verified healings described and explained, • personal testimony and, • the absorption of the healing energy. Each of the lecturing physicians receives no remuneration. All events are free of charge.

Positive Thoughts Only

According to reports, once you have absorbed the Heilstrom*, it is very important to give up the illness in your mind, and don't pay any attention to it any more. Most importantly, stop believing in the illness. Focus your complete attention on the healing. Believe that whatever you feel in your body belongs to the healing, not any more to the illness!
Groening said, "Thoughts are energies which will come true! If now you take up the firm intent in your mind to regain your health and the belief that this is possible with God's help, you have built up the right mental attitude for healing to begin."
Groening always invited people to convince themselves of the truth, with their own bodies. "Watch carefully if you feel the Heilstrom*, if Regelungen* occurs or if you just feel better after regularly taking up the energy." It is claimed that improvement in all areas of life occur from regular absorption of this Divine energy.

If you have a health condition, consult within and with your regular practitioner before beginning any new practice.

Absorbing the Heilstrom*

In a quiet room, sit on a chair, free of the backrest if possible, both feet on the floor, and open hands palms-up on your thighs. Do not cross legs or arms. Open your heart and mind and ask for the energy to come. Think of something pleasant and positive (i.e. a beautiful landscape, a happy event...) Disengage all negative thoughts-of illness and worries.
The Heilstrom*  moves into the body via our antennas-our hands, feet and head, and can completely fill it with new energy. Sit and absorb the energy daily, even if for just 15 minutes,for health maintenance and longer for healing.
Heilstrom* generates a "process of purification," which Groening called Regelungen* . A Regelung* can last for weeks, months and sometimes years. It depends on how serious the illness is, how far a person can open up to the Divine energy and the influence of surroundings. It may be experienced as pain, tickling in parts ofthe body, warmth or cold areas, swollen limbs or by emotions. If you need to weep or laugh, then let it happen. These sensations are temporary.
