From the Office into the Healing Arts
I used to think that I am the one doing the healing.
No surprise there.
I worked in office roles for many years.
Success in the office was dictated by meeting deadlines and delivering expected outcomes.
Keep the boss and client happy – such is certainly true for most professions.
Not meeting such expectations would mean that eventually one would be out of a job.
Bringing the same mindset to energy healing presented me with interesting challenges.
I would show up with all I had, but the actual results were impossible to predict.
In one session I recall, the client was lying on a massage table whilst I was tuning into golden Christ consciousness vibrations and channeling the energy through my hands into the client’s aura.
Our experiences could not have been further apart.
Whilst the client had a blissful smile on their face from the channeled energies, my ego was generating such a tension headache from wanting to produce results that it took a lot out of me to stay present.
Pain Be Gone!
My “chasing results” was taken to yet another level when my clients started reporting that joint pains would disappear after I had sent them healing.
I had not been paying attention to this at first, to be honest.
One day I was speaking to a friend on the phone.
They started complaining of knee pain and that it would take months to get a procedure done due to the long waitlist.
I offered to send them healing there and then, with them on the phone.
The whole process probably took no more than 5 minutes: I called on my Spirit Guides, asked them for help, and imagined holding my friend’s knee between my hands whilst channeling light into the knee over the distance.
When I felt the work complete, my friend said that astonishingly, the knee pain was gone and that the knee felt as good as new.
Understandably, I got very excited!
“Finally, I have my healing specialisation”, I thought.
With much gusto, I asked people I knew whether any of their friends or relatives needed help with joint pains, and offered “free distant energy healing” to them in exchange for feedback.
To my surprise, things did not quite go according to plan.
One person reported some improvement, but later admitted that they were aware that their hip pain was karmic, and that they knew of several past lifetimes where the same spot had been injured over and over.
Another experienced not much of an improvement, beyond a rather delightful release of chronic tension in their pelvic area.
And yet another had seemingly been experiencing no change in their joints either, but instead was feeling very upbeat.
The Spiritual Dressing Down
I was discouraged by the lack of results.
The first opportunity I had, I consulted my Spirit Guides on how to produce better results in my joint healing sessions – I usually ask a trained medium for help.
One my Guides said:
“You are not the maker of healing!
And you do not treat joint pain.
You treat the being!
You are here to align with wholeness, activate energies that help the recipient to be activated with the healing power within them that knows what they are needing and what they are ready for.
And work with Light Beings who enjoy helping humans in this process.
Everything else is manipulation. And a disservice to the name of healing.”
The Letting Go
After the dressing down I had received, I had a couple more of such reminders come through when my Guides found me boosting session energies instead of allowing for flow to occur.
It took time to adjust to this new way of healing.
Over the next few months, I noticed that when I kept my eyes closed during the session, my ego mind would be far less controlling.
I also have been learning to let go and trust so that sometimes my Spirit Guides could take control of my hands, and direct the flow of energy as required.
Today, instead of looking for outcomes, I have a different benchmark for how well the session had gone.
My criteria are:
- how receptive was I to Light energies
- how present was I in my heart centre
- how well did I balance the various channels – Earth energies, energies from Guides and Angels, awareness of my own and the recipient’s energies
- how well did I follow the natural flow of the session
- how much did I trust
Like a Hole
The question of my specialisation still lingered.
Even through I did not have clarity of an answer, I was clear that the question came from my mind, not my heart, or my essence.
I was finally able to put the topic to rest when one day I remembered something another healing practitioner had shared with me some time ago.
They had told me about the Native American healer called Black Elk (below is an excerpt from the book Black Elk Speaks):
“…many I cured with the power that came through me. Of course it was not I who cured. It was the power from the outer world, and the visions and ceremonies had only made me like a hole through which the power could come to the two-leggeds…”
My mind both got it, and also did not get it.
For to be a hole, a channel, one has to be out of one’s mind.
Beauty in Simplicity
The more I heal, the simpler healing becomes.
At least, such is my experience – both in my own healing journey, and in bringing through healing energies for others:
- Ask for help, and it will be given
- Be open to receive, let go of what is not needed, and allow change
- Meet what shows up with love, or at least acceptance, even when it’s the shadow
- Trust in the family of Light that shows up
If I can be of service, I invite you to explore my free channelled healing journeys or book a remote healing session.
With bright blessings.
