What is Scanning?
Scanning is dialing a large number of telephone numbers in the hope of finding anything interesting. Interesting items often include test tones, computers, Voice Message Boxes (VMB’s), Private Branch Exchanges (PBX’s), and government offices. Scanning can be done by hand, although dialing several thousand telephone numbers by hand is extremely boring and takes a long time. Much better is to use a scanning program, sometimes called a war dialer or a demon dialer. Currently, the best war dialer available to PC-DOS users is ToneLoc from Minor Threat and Mucho Maas. For the Macintosh, try Assault Dialer. A war dialer will dial a range of numbers and log what it finds at each number. You can then only dial up the numbers that the war dialer marked as carriers or tones.
Scanning is a skill developed in Pranic Healing that allows the healer to use his hands to ‘feel’ or scan the energy body of the patient. It gives the healer the ability to locate the patient’s congestion, depletion, over activation, under activation, etc of their energy body. It is a skill, and like any skill it can be developed and improved with practice. Every Basic Class teaches the student exercises to develop and strengthen his scanning ability.
