There are countless formal healing energy methodologies. Saehressa developed an interest in one particular version early in her marriage, and over time had acceded to the highest level of mastery, granting her the authority and ability to teach and attune others who wished to learn.

There was science to back up the practice, and over time, a sizeable minority of Arrhazonans – often those most empathetic – gravitated to practicing, perhaps because the connection came so easy to these folks.

As llhaesa moved through childhood, she would watch in fascination as her mother meditatively connected to the greater universe. Silently chanting healing symbols, Saehressa would channel energy through her physical and mental self, and on to those she loved, those she wished to heal, and for her own greater well being.

By the time llhaesa was in middle school, she expressed interest in learning and embracing Aailhra, the formal name for the particular healing energy Saehressa embraced. And so on one special day, llhaesa came down from her room dressed and ready for school. Mrevan had already left for work, while Saehressa arranged for her music class to be covered by a friend who was also sanctioned as a substitute teacher by the school.

Llhaesa sat at the kitchen bar and poured whole grain cereal into a bowl already placed there for this express purpose. Making quick work of the cereal and accompanying juice, she suddenly realised her mom had yet to make an appearance. Moving into the living area, she was rather surprised by the site in front of her.

Several candles were lit and arranged around the room. A single wooden chair occupied the middle floor space. A portable white board was set up at an angle between the front two windows. On the coffee table lay a brand new copy of Aailhra In Practice, considered the teaching bible for Aailhra practitioners. As llhaesa’s eyes took all of this in, she started to call to her mum. Unnoticed by llhaesa, Saehressa had silently come up and stood just to the right side and half a step back from her daughter. At the sound of her mum’s soft reply, llhaesa jumped just enough for the movement to be noticeable.

Saehressa reached for her hand, leading llhaesa to a seat on the couch. Setting down alongside, she began. “You have expressed interest in learning Aailhra, and I believe you are more than ready to begin to learn and to practice. Aailhra is not a special gift, opening your mind to this energy is. Always keep yourself in positive space, llhaesa. Always look to the good, and to correct that which is not so good. Look for solutions, do not look for blame.

You will be a method of conveyance, not what is conveyed. Aailhra is your connection to the life energy of the universe, which runs through all and moves only in positive ways. By embracing this healing energy, you choose to give your life over to living in this manner, to embracing the basic principles of Aailhra. Are you willing to do this, are you willing to commit to learning and developing your skill?”

Saehressa was having a difficult time refraining from smiling, for her daughter had the mental discipline of any two people. One does not develop skill with a keyboard to the extent llhaesa had over the last 8 years without having the ability to follow through on commitment. She reflective moment was closed out by her daughter’s voice.

Llhaesa was in fact smiling enough for the both of them. Through the smile, she gave verbal assent to her mum’s question, and affirmed her wish to proceed.

Over the next two hours, Saehressa outlined the symbols to be learned on this day. She spoke of their origins, of their meaning, of where and when they were best invoked. Making use of the whiteboard, Saehressa drew the symbols with well practiced hand, directly from memory.

One by one, llhaesa was called upon to take her turn at drawing each symbol. This done, Saehressa moved to the final step.

Again taking her daughter by the hand, she moved her to the solitary wooden seat patiently waiting for some willing soul to make use of its singular talent. Llhaesa sank slowly into the chair, while her mum called on the music system to begin the programme set earlier for this purpose.

Over the next hour, llhaesa came to the first level of Aailhra, willingly and proudly following her mum into the hidden connectivity of the universe.
