What is the best use of stalking when doing healing work?

Generally, what I do is stalk a position for or with the client.  Let's say I look at them and see X is their big problem, but going to X is going to create angst, or a negative reaction.  I will instead stalk a position of Y, which is connected to X, but which is not threatening.  Then let them make the connection.  That way they feel like they solved their own problem which also helps in their future ability to heal themselves.  That way they won't blame me later when their life goes blooey.  Think of it in terms of the old adage: you can lead a horse to water, only in this case you're stalking the thirst, then the horse looks for the water itself.

So stalking an initial position with/for them - is there another way to use it in healing?

Yes, sometimes with the disease itself you have to stalk a position in order to alter the energetic makeup enough to create the opening for healing.  Somebody has aids, for instance.  Aids is incredibly aggressive, but you can stalk the virus itself by altering the energy it's after enough to cause it to basically go around in circles until you can attack it more directly.  Same thing with Hepatitis C - you're changing the environment - it has it's own energetic expectations.  If you stalk a different environmental position for the person's energy, you screw with its expectations.  Once that's accomplished, you can alter the disease itself, or in some cases, cure it that way.

Bacteria, viruses, etc, all are living organisms.  They have their own expectations, needs, goals and intents, from the outside altering the landscape just enough to cause it to have to adjust weakens it -  and in some cases, can actually destroy it.  If you take a fish out of water, in other words, it dies.  So you stalk the position and alter the landscape of the person you're working on, of course.  You do all that without investing your own energy; it's their energy, their healing.  I prefer those cases the doctors have given up on that are incurable, that are impossible.  That is where the greatest challenge lies, and that is where we test ourselves and learn.

So a better way to heal might be a 2-prong attack - change the energetic landscape and attack the disease or whatever directly?

You need to be very fluid when doing healing, but at the same time, your will and intent must be focused to a pinpoint.  The fluidity comes in being able to shift that pinpoint instantly where ever you need it to go, even splitting it and using a two pronged attack, as you say.  Whenever you work on someone, you are in a sense rearranging their internal landscape.  They wouldn't be asking you for help if they could do it on their own.  The wisdom in healing is knowing what to change, how much, and what not to change or move.

How does one get that wisdom to know what to change and not to?  I would hate to screw up something trying.

If you fear trying to the point you don't do the work, only your client suffers.  People are not weak in the sense that you can destroy them without intending to.  Always keep your intent honest, to do no harm, only help.  You learn through experience.  If you don't try, you will never gain the experience.

Can healing energy be used for other things by the healee?

They can twist it internally, yes, if they really are not in a place where they want to heal.  But it's their energy, and so it's their decision.   The skill of a really good healer is to arrange things in such a way to minimize that as an outcome, while still leaving them the free will to decide.  When I look at people, I can tell when they really want to heal and when they just want some aspect of the healing, pain relief, etc., but that in itself is healing in a way.

How does it look different?

There will be a resistance.  They hide or fade in their energy to protect themselves from too deep a work.  Human beings are survivors; they have natural defenses that unfortunately sometimes get in the way of really getting well.

If their problem serves them in some way, they may not really want to heal, even if the say they do?

That's very true.
