hey, maybe we can start by introductions, or something?

is everyone here a 'healer'? what kinds of modalities of healing do folks practice? what do you enjoy the most about the methods of healing you use? what kinds of results do you see in the people you do healing for?

    My healing isn't towards people usually. Most people in the area I live in would reject energy work outright since they have little or no knowledge of it and no place to put it.

    So, I direct my Reiki work to the animals where I work. Some do really well with it, some don't. A lot depends on if the animal has given up on life already.

    My old boss does something called Zero Balancing. He's really good at it. He did a little with me before they sold the practice and I was totally amazed. I know a couple Reiki II and III people as well, who are helping me with my work.

    I never go into a situation looking to HEAL. I go looking to help.k There's a difference. Some things can't be fixed. But pain can be eased, suffering can be alleviated and death can be greeted in such a way as to not be scary for a pet. That's what I do. It's not much, but it's what I do.

      LH -- sounds like a lot, actually, not a little, what you're doing.

      I think what you're writing brings up the fundamental question -- "what is healing?" do we only mean physical healing? is it a success if an illness gets better, or a broken limb is fused back? is healing a failure is the patient dies?

      to me (there's more to say but I'll give my position in one sentence, just for fun) -- healing means, lifting that soul and relieving it of some suffering. to me, that's a success -- and if death comes, okay, at least that soul got a great blessing for the next lifetime.

      you're helping a lot, LH, I can tell. good for you! lucky animals!

        while that's very sweet of you to say, it's not always something I feel I am doing right, or well, or even at all on some of the worst days.

        Sometimes in the ER it's difficult to distance myself from those things that make me very human. I cry a lot. I have horrible dreams sometimes, I hear animals talk to me once in a while in my head. Sometimes my dreams cross over from work into life. Those are the really odd dreams.

        we tend to burn ourselves out quickly in this kind of profession dealing with death, dying and grief so much as well as healing. I like to think I make a difference, but sometimes, it's quite difficult to see if I am or not.

          great! this is going to be fun. i love to hear where others are coming from, the joy, pain, excitement, concerns, etc. of our gifts and crafts.

          so far i can empathize with everything said. i have days where i know i am helping the whole of humanity, there are days when i think, what in gods name do i think i am doing and there are definately days where feeling the pain of the world is difficult to separate from.

          i don't believe that i heal anyone. it is my belief that all, animals included heal themselves with the devine. that i am a conduit and happen to have the ability to hear, sense, know, see and explain or bring energy to others. that by being willing to step into my own healing i open myself to charity work and service to others.

          i have had experiences with cancer not leaving but have seen the grace and healing of profound lessons with that person through our work. I have had to wrestle with my ego around so many of these issues and i hope i always will. i think it keeps me in a place of humility. others have to want to heal, i can't fix anyone, and in the past, when i got confused and thought i needed to do anything, something, it made me sick.

          thanks for the post, i look forward to getting to know you all.

            Hello Soulfriend! My daughter gave me your message (she met you at the Maternity Store where she works).

            Hello All other members of this group!

            I agree that this is going to be fun and most interesting. I find that in the types of work I do that people can heal whether they believe they can or not. By helping to clear people, animals, houses, property, businesses, etc., of their accumulated karmic "stuff", it allows the individual (animal, house, property, business, etc) to leave the karmic wheel of suffering and stuck patterns and quantum leap into their true beingness.

            Once those patterns and stuck energies are released and are no longer "driving" the behaviors, thoughts, feelings, beliefs, etc., people tend to find their highest and best path towards whatever their soul's intent for incarnating originally was - or has now become. These clearings allow ultimate freedom of choice, free from karmic debt, suffering and pain. In many cases, disease patterns, depressions, personality disorders, and anxieties that lead to feeling unwell at any level, are released effortlessly and painlessly.

            New patterns are then chosen and downloaded for the specific individual and for what they choose. If there is no conscious decision, the person's soul chooses their highest and best new pattern and that person then has a clear path on which to then make conscious choices.

            What I find so interesting are the stories behind the old patterns of limitations and how thoroughly we've all bought into them. We've each been the worst of the worst and the best of the best - and every shade inbetween. Once you realize where you've been and all the miscreations we've wrought in the past, it brings understanding and compassion for the plight of all others in our world, thus continuing the healing on a global level. And once you realize the levels of Light and Enlightenment you've experienced, it makes this entire "Game of Beingness" so much richer and fuller!

            I am so grateful to be a part of this - a conduit for the Divine, and an assistant to any who chose their path of Light and Love. Thank you for all of your postings to this board. I am looking forward to making new friends here.

            Blessings to all,
            Michelle

          sometimes things in dream come because we are quiet and still and the messenger can get through. Pick some down time to just listen...For your sleep I might suggest setting your intention...boundiries are incredible...if you are sight oriented you may try poster board and afix pictures your own drawings etc of things you are willing to have as vistitation in you dreams place these items in a circle. If visual aid is not that inportant...do it is your minds eye. Ask the animals to hold there conversation until your quiet time as in this plane you need your sleep to recooperate. As for burn out this will be the most important thing for you to master...find what refills your soul...could be meditation, massage (watsu is incredible for inward healing and release) being in nature...whatever...you need to schedule it just like you would your work schedule or anything else that is "unmoveable". If life were and airplane..."we would be required to put on our own oxygen mask SO THAT WE can be of assistance to others" . Love you can't keep giving out and not go dry. It won't make your day to day task anyless painful to witness and be part of but you're equipped!!
          Blessings...

    Hello Alx,

    My name's Rob. I'm a Neuro-Linguistic Hypnotherapist by trade, but I also have been attuned as a Reiki practitioner (level 2). One thing I've found is that a person's belief about their healing directly affects the results. Also, you can not heal anyone who does not wish to be healed. Surprisingly, there are many people who do not want to be healed. Mostly people want to get better, but do not want to actually heal. I think in order to successfully heal, you must be willing to change a belief that is the source of the illness or affliction. This is not easy to do.

    I believe that both healing and illness are a choice. It's the reason for choosing illness that must be dealt with, but my experience has been that most of the time, once people know they have to actually go deep within and examine some not-so-pretty places, they back off and decide that living with the illness is easier.

    On the other hand, when I've encountered someone who truly is ready to heal, I've seen some pretty miraculous events occure.

    Those are my thoughts.

    What about you?

      One more thing, I also think that all healing is personal - people heal themselves. As a practitioner of the healing arts, all I do is facilitate someone healing themselves.

      One of the things I love best about healing is witnessing the transformation that occurs when someone realizes that they were able to heal themselves. It's beautiful.

        oh yeah! that's my favorite part. watching people open and grow and heal and bloom. seeing the pain leave the body and the relationships they are involved in. seeing them co-create the life they really want and step into thier power.

        makes it worth being able to feel all the pain.

      hi, Rob -- you make some beautiful points, here, about healing. I do agree with you that the belief system of a person makes a lot of difference in terms of results.

      but I think it also depends on other factors: that person's karma, for instance, and also the healing system being used on them. also, whether or not their heart is open to the healer -- not that they necessarily believe in the system being used, but that they have trust and faith enough in the healer to be open-hearted enough to receive the healing energy.

      about illness being a choice -- depends on the illness, and the person suffering it. a 7 year old child dying of leukemia... hmmm.... where is the choice? an adult self-creating a condition out of their own fear and worry, effectively 'choosing' illness over wellness, a different situation.

      for myself -- I use a ton of techniques from my teacher, who is a healing saint in India. they rely on harnessing the divine energy (not tapping into it, like Reiki, but actually understanding the hows and whats and whys of that energy, and where to apply it for maximum results) and using it for healing. some people call it miraculous.

      I've seen it work a lot on people who DON'T want that kind of healing, at least, on the surface -- but underneath, I think they do but can't acknowledge it.

      I used to be a Reiki master, but I got interested in the deeper mechanisms of healing, because I felt that Reiki was something I could experience and see results from, but I couldn't understand it, how it really worked (or didn't, when it wasn't effective). I wanted to understand a much much deeper level of how healing is conducted.

      I love your point about how it's really all in each of us -- we all have the ability to heal ourselves. it's just that that capacity can get over-ridden, or hidden, behind the conditioning and sometimes we need another soul, a more powerful soul, to command on our own soul to remind it to heal this body, or the emotions, or whatever is out of whack.

      totally true.

      namaste,

      Alx

          hi, Soulfriend -- his name is Sri Sai Kaleshwara Swami. his website is www.kaleshwar.org -- he is known as a master healer in the world, and also a healer who manifests the miracle energy as part of the healing he does.

          I think I will indeed put an entry about him as part of the lists of healers and systems, on this tribe.

    hello lovely beings,

    i am a medium here in san francisco & channel people's spirit guides & disincarnate teachers to bring people the informations they are needeing to live in greater clarity. the information that comes through ranges from guidance on one's life path, family of origin dynamics, relationship patterns, blocked energy &/or places of holding, karmic issues, conscious &/or unconscious patterns, as well as specific, detailed information about one's daily lifestyle. i also offer classes in san francisco teaching people how to channel as it is my overarching intention in all of my work to empower people to connect to their own source of guidance.

    i enjoy so much about this work! some of the pieces that i enjoy are: providing a source of validation for people that allows them to trust their intution more deeply, supporting people as they walk through their fears & consciously step into their unique life path, opening people's eyes to the immense amount of guidance they have available to them (both from within & from other beings), bringing the awe-inspiring magic of life into people's lives as they being to open up and have a two-way conversation with Spirit every day, and inspiring people to live in greater levels of wholeness, courage, love, authenticity, & clarity.

    blessings,
    robin

    Yes Alx we are here..
    For me I consider myself more of a facilitator, hollow bone, conduit. yes I will draw from certain aspects of training...yet always am guided intuitively...to me healing is like a psychic reading "this is the snapshot photo of the moment" letting things flow within that current percieved dyanamic often allow things to shift into something entirely different...
