Jonesboy, I would say it is known to be possible by all mystics of all traditions, including Buddhists. It is the gift (attainments) of some, to be used in service to the greater good of all. Certainly energy work for healing, for dedication, for setting intention, for communication...all of these things are known uses of these gifts or attainments, and certainly these are right-aligned uses. Am I leaving anything out?
TBH, what else really are we doing with our practice in these areas? It is for service and to add to the joy and right-alignment in the universe.
However, for those who may be misdirected by focus on attainments, this was a real and known danger. Because the core of what is, is always the practice in this moment, in interbeing with self, others, and One. And thus why mysticism and more esoteric energy work is almost never emphasised in any tradition as the primary core of the tradition. Also why it is often not recommended for some at all and for others not till after years of practice.
Peace & blessings
