Exposed to Healing" uses poetry to facilitate a readers healing. Just as David and many others since have cried out to the Lord through poetry, believers can cry out to the Lord to make changes in their lives.
This ethnography explores the Ngoma healing tradition as practiced in eastern Mpumalanga, South Africa. ‘Bungoma’ is an active philosophical system and healing practice consisting of multiple strands, based on the notion that humans are intrinsically exposed to each other and that this is the cause of illness, but also the condition for the possibility of healing. This healing seeks to protect the ‘exposed being’ from harm through augmenting the self. Unlike Western medicine, it does not seek to cure physical ailments but aims to prevent suffering by allowing patients to transform their personal narratives of Self. Like Western medicine, it is empirical and is presented as a ‘local knowledge’ that amounts to a practical anthropology of human conflict and the environment. The book seeks to bring this anthropology and its therapeutic applications into relation with global academic anthropology by explaining it through political, economic, interpretive, and environmental lenses

Our Energy Spectrum Whenever I have a problem to solve, I know that both the problem and the solution are constructed from energy. If I really thought about it, I would probably conclude that all of my problems while on this planet earth were created by human energies. This is especially true of our health. Whenever I look for a solution, I invariably begin with physical symptoms and arrive mostly at a physical solution. I know that we all have energies that are not physical. We have energies of a higher vibration with varying polarities that manifest as thought, emotion, subconscious impressions, and even spiritual impressions. All of these energies are required to promote true holistic healing. The healing energies that Im referring to dont merely suppress symptoms either, as the general populations seem to prefer. Healing energies must treat the whole person both physical and subtle so that healing can be more permanent and more satisfying. In order to accomplish this, however, a change of viewpoint, a change of attitude, or even a change in beliefs is often required. In addition, no healing is possible without an understanding of the laws that govern the physical as well as the more subtle realms of mind and Spirit. Violation of these laws is the main reason that we get sick, suffer, and die. Therefore, those ancient barriers that our institutions have constructed between science, psychology and religion must come down. Then and only then will we understand what laws we violated that made us sick, and what we must do to get well. Ed Leary
