The
number of healers on the planet is expanding, and with it a call for our global
community to adopt increasing responsibility to their clients and students.
Whilst time appears to be speeding up, so too are the processes through which
our Earth family are achieving placement as the healers whom many go to for spiritual
care, guidance and repair. This article contains concepts and guidelines to
procure alignment with our highest selves, so the ‘work’ we share may truly
bring about change that serves the higher good of all.
Dearest teacher, at the beginning of your spiritual journey- when seeking direction from a healer or
persons with special abilities, were you able to discern what to hold as truth in the information shared with
you? Did you believe everything you were told? If you were given seemingly
‘negative news’, could you decipher that which feels in alignment with your truth, or would the news cause
you to seek further counsel from an additional healer?
Are you creating
codependence amongst students and clients? Can you offer tools that empower
students to do the work themselves?
Imagine going for a ‘healing session’ and being advised “Your third
chakra is out of alignment, and bad energy is getting into your aura” by the
person performing the healing. Has this happened to you in the past? Can you
remember if the counselor also shared a means by which you can proceed in
healing the issue once away from their company? Or were you left feeling worse
and more confused than before your visit?
Let us recognize where we as healers may be creating co-dependant
relationships with clients and students. Ask yourself if you are truly
maximizing the time a client spends with you, or are you simply ‘going through
the motions’ of a session? In other words, are you giving just enough to keep a
client needing more- or can you
empower them to do some of ‘the work’ themselves? Remember the phrase “Give a
man a fish, and you feed him for a day; show him how to catch fish, and you
feed him for a lifetime.” It is understood each person you work with is different, requiring a
variety of your skills and selective timing for what is to be shared, and when.
With that said, there is often room to empower those we work with, including
students, clients, friends and family.
Let
us remind ourselves of the responsibility we hold as healers and light workers.
Those that come for healing may be in a state of trauma and imbalance. Every
word you say will make an impact. Be mindful to choose your words wisely. We
are gatekeepers through which others find their way towards healing and
spiritual awareness. We must wield this responsibility with great integrity.
Bear in mind the motivations underlying practices you share, and clarify your
intentions daily- especially if you act as teacher or healer for many people
over the course of a week. Consider the ramifications of karma. Treat students
and clientele as you would like to be treated. Perhaps in another time and space, they will provide
counsel for you.
Appreciate it is honorable
to create personal boundaries with students and
clients alike.
Honor
your inner guidance, as it will inform you when it is time to take a break from
operating as ‘healer’. The old adage applies here; ‘Fill thy cup fist, and only
then- share thy cup with others.’ This means tend to your wellness prior to tending to the wellness of others. While
this may not always be possible in our busy day-to-day life, as healers this
root-principle is vital to being of service at our highest capacity, especially
where the sharing of healing modalities is at hand. Filling ourselves with
adequate light, and not
seeking to draw it from the clients that come to us in need- is of great honor
and should go without saying. We may fill our vehicles with light by practicing
meditation, reiki, breathing and visualization techniques, and also through
performing physical practices such as tai chi, ki gong and yoga. These raise
our frequency by opening and balancing the internal channels so greater light and
life-force may flow through one’s body vehicle.
On another
note, you may feel pressure or a sense of importance in answering the phone
every time a client calls with a problem, even if it is after 10pm and you are
in bed with your beloved. Do you feel obliged to be of service in this way, or
can you gracefully set professional boundaries and turn your sign from ‘open’
to ‘closed’ within parameters that allow you to rest, restore and live a life
outside of the healing center or office?
Equally so, listen to when Spirit guides you to take time out completely
and work on yourself. A teacher is a student at heart, and even a seasoned spiritual healer may require remedy as their personal frequency is
ramped up over time.
‘For the Highest Good of All’- The Golden Rule
As healers and
light workers, we do not force anyone or anything’s will. We understand the
larger picture of balance and divine timing as it interconnects all beings and
things. Energy manipulation happens where there is a force of will, or in
taking advantage of someone’s weakened state. When forcing a will, you or your client may be successful in getting what you/they ‘want’, but as
the universe balances itself out to the degree you have forced it, you may find
yourself unhappy with what is created,
or disappointed in how it comes
about- for it has been a force of
nature and not in alignment with the natural unfolding order of the
universal higher good. For some, this is a debatable theory. You may say; “
Well if it works out either way, whether I intend the Higher Good or not, and
if everything in the universe is just as it should be- then isn’t the outcome
for the highest good of all anyway?” The answer is, of course- yes it is,
though the means by which things occur and are set into motion will have a direct
cause and affect on the director of those things set in motion. This pertains
to you, or your students. Remember everything is energy and you are a master of
your time and space. Clearly intend what you ask for yourself and others, and
be mindful how you ask for it to
manifest.
Consider
stating the intention: “May the Highest
Good of All occur in the sharing and outcome of this healing.” Intending
the Higher Good is the Golden Rule that releases the control of situations by the
practitioner. Being appropriately & energetically unattached to outcomes
allows the universe to be maestro in
how the larger scheme-of-things come into being. In this way a much larger
scope of universal possibility is granted to merge with the objective, be it; a
client seeking spiritual transformation, daily wellbeing, change and
manifestation, or spiritual/physical/mental and emotional healing. May the many
healers and teachers of our time assume the highest integrity in adopting increasing
responsibility to towards clients and students alike.
