The modern founder of VortexHealing is Ric Weinman. Ric re-discovered VortexHealing in November, 1994 and began teaching it about 9 months later, as a healing art and to assist the process of spiritual awakening. Since then he has also empowered other teachers to teach VortexHealing.

The older history of VortexHealing has a long and rich tradition. It began with a man named Mehindra who lived about 5600 years ago. Although most human beings have long karmic histories in which they have struggled within the experience of separation, there are always a few beings on the earth that are born into humanness directly from Wholeness, directly from divine consciousness. Each such being brings a unique aspect of divine consciousness into manifestation. Mehindra was such a being. The aspect of the divine he manifests is magical transformation.

After his death, Mehindra brought 7 other beings like himself together to form a divine "healing realm" and used his own energy and consciousness to form a link between that healing realm and human consciousness, which is how VortexHealing got its name.

In 753 B.C., a man living in what is now England, who was close to enlightenment, received the gift of VortexHealing and specific Vortex meditations as a divine revelation from a being who appeared in his consciousness while he was meditating. This being (who was Mehindra) called himself "Merlin." (The name Merlin was chosen because that name best represented, in English, the vibrational quality of transformation magic that he was manifesting.)

Working with this divine gift, the man became enlightened and began to pass the gift on to other people by the process of direct consciousness transmission. Later in his life he passed on the ability to teach VortexHealing to selected students. He also started the tradition that if a teacher within the lineage reached a sufficient level of attunement to Merlin, he was given the name Merlin. Thus the name Merlin was both a title and a way to honor the divine being who still manifests and maintains this healing art.

As the teachings of Merlin were passed by direct consciousness transmission from teacher to teacher through the generations, it became known as the Merlin "lineage." Historically, there were 28 teachers, 12 of which were Merlins. The Merlin associated with King Arthur was the fifth one.

But the 12th Merlin did not find anyone he could empower to carry on the teachings after him. So, in 1247 A.D. the lineage died out, until Merlin, who is still the source and divine power of VortexHealing, manifested a visionary experience for Ric Weinman, in 1994, that reactivated his memory of studying VortexHealing in two past lives.

When you experience what VortexHealing is able to do, you will know why Merlin has always been associated with magic.
