Correction: Alternate nostril breathing is a must for balancing your energies after performing healing work on others, or after a black magick working [following cleaning your aura], but for yourself, after doing any healing work, you should wait for at least an hour, so the energy directed into the problem can set itself.
Another thing- the phrase 'keeping one's self pure' has been totally twisted and perverted by xianity and related ilk. What this really means is to clean your aura and to keep it clean. This is especially before a healing working, as putting clean healing energy over dirty energy is like mopping a filthy unswept floor.
Again- to re-emphasise- once begun, no longer than 24 hours should elapse between healing work. By letting more than a day go by, the problem can reverse itself and the progress attained can be lost.

When performing healings, it is important to write your affirmations down and the specific techniques you used. This actually goes for all spells and workings, but is especially important with healings.
Chronic conditions, like ailments you have had for most of your life or for years, will disappear with performiong healings, BUT, in many cases, due to fluctuations in energy, some of these may return at a later date, but will be much milder.
