You have taught us that energy healing has limitations because it is addressing only the end-stage discord within the body, and relieving that build-up will likely be temporary if the deeper karmic trauma is not healed effectively. So, there may be noticeable symptomatic relief but that is likely followed by an eventual return of symptoms. If symptoms remain in abeyance, might that be because of symptom displacement, that the karmic negativity will build up and be expressed elsewhere eventually, to cause a different problem as happens frequently with medical treatment of an illness caused by karma? If so, how frequently will energy healing lead to a new and different problem?

There can be symptom displacement under certain conditions. This is not as serious a problem as it is with medicine, which is wholly unnatural, primarily based on using chemical substances of a synthetic nature to mask symptoms rather than affect anything within the body having to do with the karmic elements energetically. In the case of spiritual healing modalities that are directed at adjusting energy within the body, including both energy psychology techniques as well as physical manipulations like therapeutic massage, sound healing, and various energy modalities depending on touch, and so on, are more natural in that they impinge on the bodily energies at least causing the symptoms, and having an influence on things mechanistically, rather than acting even once removed from the energetic discord to impinge on nerves, for example, that are simply sensing the presence of the negativity. So, in using spiritual healing, you are at least working on the energies of the body, and then whatever the body senses about a change in status will be involving the physiology and neuroanatomy as a secondary sensing mode for perceiving whether a change has happened. Whereas medicine works on the physiology and neuroanatomy as simply a surveillance capability for the mind to perceive what might be wrong in the body, and is not the actual site of the problem energetically. But that does not mean that because you are helping to remove negative energy you will accomplish your goal of true and complete healing. Many modalities can shift bodily energy of a negative sort, to constrain it more powerfully or even drain it from the body or modulate it in ways to change its character so it is not a nuisance. But if the fundamental causal factors setting the energetic discord in motion are not dealt with, you may still be no better off over the long term than using medicine to mask the symptoms, because many times when energy is drained away it is an end-stage solution that will not have staying power, because the underlying karmic discord will simply replace the negativity with new negative energy and the person might return to their original state of inner disquiet with symptoms bothering them—so, other than it having a temporary reprieve, nothing is gained. This will not uniformly be the case, as would happen with medical treatment in most cases, but is a definite shortcoming of their ability to make lasting change and truly solve the dilemma for the client of what is getting the problem in motion and keeping it going. So it is highest and best to seek deep karmic repair, and that involves applying consciousness in some fashion, usually by the sufferer themselves with guidance from a facilitator or from an agent of the divine realm tasked with doing a deep karmic repair, going to the origins of the discord, and bringing healing to bear to change the karmic potential, and that will get the client off the hook and allow the energy to be removed permanently that is causing the trouble. There is a potential for temporary energetic solutions, in thwarting the purpose of karma to force a reckoning to happen with the client as a karmic lesson, that if thwarted by a draining away of the warning energies, the Law of Karma will seek another pathway to get the attention of the client and raise an issue in a new bodily location, with its set of symptoms being different and will appear to be a new issue entirely, for that reason when it is, in fact, the old one simply migrating to a vulnerable spot so that it gets noticed, with the expectation it will be acted on and lead to the betterment of the person. After all, that is the goal of the Law of Karma, to help guide a person through that feedback to right the wrongs of their history and bring things back into better balance. So while symptom displacement is not as frequent as is the case with medical interventions, it can be a liability, about 10% of the time, in relying on such modalities alone when all such difficulties attempting to be managed are truly karmic in origin, and many times the origin is on other timelines, from lifetimes where bad things happened, and the karmic lesson is being projected forward and catching up to the person in their current life. Dealing solely with the energetic consequences within the current body may not be enough to tame the karmic obligation, and that energetic deficit will continue to rumble and will be persistent in some cases to reawaken the problem or create a new one.
