Question: I recently took a video course with a well known energy healer. She has done a lot of training in India. And in this course, she gave us 20 sutras to recite to ourselves to be used along with meditation. She claims that using them will help to open up psychic gifts and lead to spiritual advancement. She talked a lot about opening the gates to the twelve chakras above our heads and initiations. Although I do not believe her claims that the sutras lead to special gifts, I have felt some energy above my head while using them. And I wonder if the masters can explain the history of this practice and whether it is helpful or not.

Well, there are many techniques and tools that have validity in the sense that they can have a positive effect. There are, of course, many ways to invoke energy, higher energies than the decrees and invocations we are giving you. You have from the tradition of Hinduism and Buddhism, and other Eastern traditions, many valid techniques. You are giving some of these sutras when you give the Om Mani Padma Hum, the Om Ah Hum, Vajra Guru Padme Siddhi Hum and others of these chants and mantras, so there can be validity to it.
But be aware that it is not really the purpose of a valid spiritual technique to produce supernatural or psychic abilities. Because no valid spiritual teacher will encourage this in their students and will seek to attract students who want this. On the contrary, most valid spiritual teachers will seek to avoid such students because they know they come because they want some outer phenomenon that raises the ego, makes them feel superior to other people, and they are often willing to take heaven by force. Many of the more mature, evolved spiritual teachers seek to avoid such students by not making these claims that, by practicing a certain technique, you will almost automatically or guaranteed to attain certain special abilities. Very few people can develop genuine psychic abilities, and very few people have it as part of their divine plan to do so. For most people, it is a distraction on the path to a higher state of consciousness.
