Healer

What does it mean to be a healer?

A healer to me is someone that allows themselves to momentarily 'feel' the being before them. To 'see' them with utter and complete compassion.
A healer is more than a piece of paper on the wall. More that a told story of 'years' of education. More than a list of successes that seemingly go on and on. That is ego and none of that matters.

Regardless of the modality one chooses, healing itself goes far beyond. Healing is participatory, as becoming ill is also participatory. The recipient is the ultimate healer. The Healer is merely the facilitator in the process. A simple conduit to aid in the recipients own healing ability.

When the recipient is resistant to the aid they have sought, then the facilitator seems ineffective. In reality one will only accept what one is willing to accept. If one is blinded by disbelief, feels unworthy, or beyond help, then so it is.

One must also do the work. In a society that is continually looking for the magic pill, or are of the mind that all must be a difficult arduous process, this can be difficult to transcend ingrained beliefs. This does not have to be, but it is a practice as it was a practice to believe the negatory in the first place. A practice to allow oneself to think and feel for oneself. The ultimate art of listening to ones own inner voice and tune out the other voices, if only for a moment. It is simply being in the moment and surrendering. To see that not everything needs to be offered a reaction, but that it all deserves our compassion.....we are all deserving of our own self compassion.

It is only then that a Healer can then aid in the release. A Healer is no more that a tool for the universe to use. We simply surrender ourselves and allow the universe to work through us for you. If we are resistant to surrendering then we are also ineffective. As only when we can offer ourselves compassion does our own self healing take place. To truly heal one must be willing to let go of perceived control, and surrender.

So at the core, for a Healer to be a healer, one must have compassion, be willing to allow the universe to flow unobstructed, and have a recipient willing to be participatory in their own healing.

Together we become an exquisitely sacred threesome united with the love that we are.

One Earth.
