A note to healers of all stripes.....

I'm going to ask you a favor not just for myself but for all folks you might interact with about the possibility of your being able to help them. Please don't tell people you can heal them through whatever it is you do. Not only do people heal themselves, but your particular gift may or may not be their pathway to healing. By holding out such hope, you only make the crash worse when you don't succeed - and then blame them!

For me with my mobility issues over the past several years, I have had a chiropractor, acupuncturist, and hands-on healer tell me they could heal my issue. They didn't and then claimed it was me, not them. LOL All three of them talked really big when they wanted me to let them work on me - oh, yes, "this is what I do," said the chiropractor. Same thing for the acupuncturist - "you will see results in three sessions" at $100 a session.

Anyway, just sharing this - if the shoe fits, put it on. If not, bless you! Healing can be such a complex matter and we don't always know what will or will not help someone. All we can do is offer our services, encourage the person to participate with their own energies, and then trust the process of life to carry things forward in the best possible way.

  1. The thing about being a healer is that you have to know your own wounds and how hard they were for you to attempt to heal. If you've gone through your own process, you don't talk about cure so much as you talk about management. All of us are wounded and those people that claim to have the secret of healing are always the ones I am most suspicious of. The thing is, once you are wounded, you never really fully get over it. You know how it is with the skin over the deep cut. It takes a long time to scab over and the skin below is sentitive and if you re-injure that spot, it can really hurt. I think healing is a lifelong process where you recognize how to stay out of the way of potential damage, sidestepping carefully, and just learn the best ways to get what you need without expecting a miracle. Beware the promise-makers!
