LaHoChi: an energy healing technique with the hands

Do you know about LaHoChi? It’s an energy healing technique with the hands, based on the transmission of luminous and angelic energy, from heart to heart. I’ll introduce you to this practice and my initiation.

The essentials

  • LaHoChi is an energy healing technique with the hands.
  • La means light, Ho the movement of energy, Chi vital energy.
  • Its instructions were transmitted in 1991 to a spiritual instructor named Satchamar.
  • After initiation, a daily self-treatment is practiced for 21 days.

What does LaHoChi mean?

  • La refers to the light, love, and wisdom coming from Christ frequencies.
  • Ho refers to the movement of this energy.
  • Chi is the vital energy, also called ki or prana depending on the cultures.

The Origins of LaHoChi

Specific instructions for performing LaHoChi healings were transmitted to a spiritual instructor named Satchamar on May 15, 1991. The one who activated these spiritual healing energies is a spiritual master of chi, the LaHoChi Master, who exists within the realm of cosmic consciousness.

Traditional Presentation of LaHoChi

My LaHoChi Initiation

I had the immense pleasure of being initiated into this beautiful practice, to enrich my experience of energetic and spiritual healings and to support you as best as possible. It was a powerful and gentle initiation at the same time. The energies were palpable throughout our video call, and even more so during the initiation: I was very warm, very thirsty, my hands pulsed, and small waves of shivers ran through my body.

The following night, I slept very well and had dreams more real than life, very pleasant.

The 21 Days After Initiation

After a LaHoChi initiation, a daily self-treatment is practiced for 21 days. These three weeks allow one to get used to these energies, to appropriate them, but also to heal oneself and release old blocked energies, to then be fully capable of giving healings. During this period, as after my healings, I recommend avoiding foods and drinks of low vibrations.

Once initiated, one can in turn give energy healings to those around them, and even initiate new practitioners when the time comes.
