I am not asking what the Brethren think; we all understand their thinking. I am asking women the questions above because I am curious as to what they are doing and why they are doing it. I would never lay my hands on someone to bless them. It feels wrong for me on so many levels. I cannot explain it. I believe that prayers in faith can and do heal. That's what I would do if I didn't have access to my a worthy priesthood holder. 1 Link to comment

I would do it; if I felt prompted to, such as in an emergency and no priesthood holder available, etc. The reason I would is that I have heard counsel from temple sealers while in the temple, a couple of times over the years that women can give blessings to their family members through the power of faith. They lay hands on the head, pronounce blessing and they do not use consecrated oil. Edited September 6, 2019 by alter idem 3 Link to comment

I cannot explain it. I have at times it has seemed appropriate. There is something more directed/focused with a blessing in my experience than a prayer though there is power in both.

Jake Starkey Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 My sister says such blessings by the laying of hands in name of Jesus have been given by sisters to other sisters, when males are not able to go. 1 Link to comment

I have heard a temple president speak about how women can bless others using the power they were endowed with in the temple, when they are prompted (such as emergency situations) so I would feel comfortable doing something similar if it was necessary. I would not feel comfortable doing it under regular circumstances however, as I believe that God has declared that when possible priesthood holders are to be the ones to bless those in need. Should the teaching on that change i would be open to it, but I don't believe I have the authority to change it myself. 7 Link to comment

My Patriarchal blessing talks about my prayers in faith being able to heal. It makes sense to me. I wouldn't feel right laying my hands on someone. It wouldn't work for me. Others are able to do what they feel is best. I think that is a great thing that people can act according to what they feel is best. 4 Link to comment

sunstoned Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 I did a some searches on Bradley Nelson. There is a lot of information on him, but I couldn't find anything that would suggest he has been excommunicated. Link to comment
Jake Starkey Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Nelson renounced Energy Healing some time ago and now follows Body Code and Emotion Code practices. I can find nothing that shows he has been excommunicated. Link to comment

He’s smart enough to know not to publish this as Rowe, Stroud, Fish etc have done, or else it would hurt his business too much. it’s all quite sad and disturbing really.

If I were only in it for the $$$, I certainly would not announce to the world I had been exed from the church. Link to comment

Body code and Emotion Code are Energy healing-- he calls his own forms of Energy Healing which he promotes, the body code or Emotion code. It's is Bradley Nelson's Emotion code that Julie Rowe became a coach of and from what she's advertised in her podcasts, she holds workshops to teach others this energy healing. 4 Link to comment
