How to Heal Ourselves: Part One - Why is it so Hard to Heal Ourselves?
When I began my healing career in 2000, I studied with the best and most gifted healers I could find in the United States along with many other healers starting their practice.
A common question we all had is: Why is it so much HARDER to heal ourselves that it is to help others to heal themselves?
26 years later I think I have a better idea as to what is going on with this or at least what my challenges were:
In 2000 I did not have a lot of experience healing. I was trained as an economist and lawyer and was working for the State of Colorado as a System Administrator, Program Manager and Project Manager. I definitely had some imposter syndrome stuff going on - which was not even a thing at that time.
If you daily and consistently heal and clear yourself and others, over time that experience translates into expertise. Thankfully in 2000, I had been on a spiritual path for over ten years and had been daily healing myself and meditating for years. This really helped me to help clients from the beginning especially because healers attract clients with similar challenges.
Most of my clients are empaths and often empaths take on a lot of negative energies from both humanity and the planet. While it is much easier to clear and heal stuff that we take on from other people, empaths find it challenging to separate out and identify what creates, causes or influences THEIR UNIQUE energetic weaknesses, imbalances, illness and disease states.
It is harder to heal ourselves because we are attached to our energetic weaknesses, imbalances, illness and disease states. It is much easier for us to see other people's energetic weaknesses, imbalances, illness and disease states because we are detached from them energetically.
In other words, we are not energetically neutral to or we easily get triggered by our stuff which creates energetic blind spots. Before you can fully heal something, you first have to identify what the actual cause or source of the healing challenge is. Another huge challenge if you are an empath. If you are triggered by your healing challenges, that's a terrible space to be in if you want to identify what is going on within yourself so you can clear them out.
Many people confuse the DESIRE to heal with the CAPABILITY to heal. Most people get into healing because they have an extremely high passion and desire to heal others but they may not be as capable at healing as they would like to be. Often their spiritual gifts lie in another direction.
The ability to heal and clear yourself and others is definitely a rare skill set and like all skills some people are naturally better at it than others. We all have limited time and energy, so focus upon what you are good at and delegate the rest.
I personally DID NOT want to be a healer and while I understood the power of energy healing I resisted this as a career. I realized in 1994, that I was a very strong empath and I knew working with clients would translate in me taking on their negative patterns and it did. I also had a great, stable government job with good benefits that I had dedicated a lot of my time and energy into.
When I was studying energy healing modalities with other students, energy healing has always felt very natural to me like common sense. It was so simple I didn't understand why so many of the other trainees struggle to understand and use the healing modality we were studying. It was the first time I realized that my healing gifts may have been more unique and powerful than I thought.
I still remember my first healer training course. I was terrified and tremendously relieved when my kind, experienced Reiki Master roommate for the week volunteered to help me with the material since I was new to healing. Ironically I became the star pupil in our small training class largely because I experienced two humongous enlightenment experiences where I downloaded a lot of the clearing and healing expertise I had developed over numerous past lives a healer.
It was an interesting lesson because I realized that experience healing was different from the innate ability to heal. This became a new norm for me, I expected to be the star pupil when getting trained and that became my vibrational reality.
SIMPLE TIPS ON HEALING YOURSELF:
While YOU may not be able to see what your negative energetic patterns, blind spots and influences are, YOUR family, friends and even co-workers often have MUCH more clarity about them, so ask them. And don't stop there work on healing those areas rather than blowing them off because you feel they are not true.
Find spiritual techniques that are easy to use and use them often. The Emotional Freedom Technique or tapping is hugely effective and user-friendly. I used it for years before I became a healer and studied other more complex techniques.
Each person is coded to receive healing in different ways. Play with different ways to work on yourself to find the ones that make sense to you and are easy for you to use. Some people heal best through telephone sessions, others with sound or color and some people just like to receive healing rather than figuring it out themselves.
Decide if you want to heal from your heart or from your head or are YOU a HEART HEALER or a MENTAL HEALER. In 2000 most energy healing training programs were mentally oriented, Since I was a HEART HEALER it was hard for me to integrate with ease and grace, so I asked the angels to modify the techniques I learned to make them softer and easier to assimilate.
PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT. The more experience you have with CONSISTENTLY working on yourself and as many of your loved ones that are open to receiving healing from you, the better your healing becomes.
Often at the beginning you feel that nothing is happening and panic feeling it doesn't work for me. However each time you work on yourself you are hard-wiring the healing into your consciousness so it becomes easier and more effective over time.
Practical hands-on experience always expands your ability, capability and capacity to heal yourself and others. It may take longer than you prefer and if you are not consistently practicing it will take significantly longer.
This blog post has become much longer than expected but next week I will write another blog post and guided visualization mp3 walking you through it.
I created a short mp3 audio with just two transmissions so it would be easy for you to listen to as often as possible. The three transmissions are for Clearing Any Blocks, Resistance or Self-Sabotage We Each Have Around:
Clearing and Healing Ourselves and Others; Clearing and Healing Energetic Blind Spots that Negatively Effect and Influence Our Ability to Clear and Heal Ourselves and Others; Increasing Our Ability, Capability and Capacity to Heal Ourselves and Others.
