The Secret Of Healing Hands - The Story Of Sydney Weltmer

A man named Sidney Weltmer opened a healing institute in Nevada, Missouri in 1897 and claimed he could cure the sick with nothing but his hands and his voice. Within a few years he was treating hundreds of patients a day and receiving 3,000 letters a day. The Postmaster General shut him down. He sued. His case climbed all the way to the Supreme Court and in 1902 the nine justices ruled 6 to 2 in his favor, and their decision explicitly recognized that the mind has real power to heal the body. ⠀ The court case is famous inside legal circles. The man himself has been almost entirely forgotten. I walk you through his whole story, the empire he built on the Missouri prairie, what happened at the Supreme Court, and then I take you inside the technique itself. The laboratory experiments on mice and cancer cells that prove something moves through the hands that has nothing to do with placebo. The traditions of Lomi Lomi, Reiki, Edgar Cayce, and every culture that has ever named this current. And the actual practice — how to prepare yourself, charge your hands, enter the state, and heal another person or yourself. I believe we are entering a new era where healing with the hands will move to the center of what we do, and I want you carrying the technique when it arrives. ⠀
