Choosing a Healer

Choosing the right healer is very important, for although it is our understanding that all healers are tapping into the same force, no matter what they call it, it is also true that every healer brings their own unique stamp, or signature, to the way they work and it is important that you choose a healer whose energetic signature feels compatible with your own.

It is our experience that it is the capacity of the healer to ‘hold’ the presence of that underlying, unifying force that determines how effective they will be. For example we may go to several different massage therapists or acupuncturists, all trained in exactly the same techniques, but we may find that one of them has that extra indefinable something that makes their treatment work wonders in a way that the others do not. This person is the most effective healer, this person has the greatest capacity to ‘hold the presence’ whether they realise it or not.
 

Are Healers Born or Made?

Are healers born or made? This is an interesting question. Certainly, these days, anyone who is sufficiently interested and motivated can train in any number of energy based therapies and utilise those tools with varying degrees of effectiveness. The fact that they are interested and motivated is, in itself, an indication that there is some consciousness of the hidden nature of things at work within them. They feel called to this particular line of interest and certainly, training and personal development can greatly enhance an innate ability. Again, such trainings have been part of human culture since history began. Esoteric knowledge has been passed down through lineages, mystery schools, from seventh daughter to seventh daughter, from master to pupil, across the globe each culture has had its way of handing on esoteric knowledge and its own was of deciding who is eligible to receive it.

Throughout most of history, to this point, the dissemination of such knowledge has been a closely guarded secret, and in some traditions it still is, but it seems to be a sign of the times and a mark of a radical shift in human consciousness, that much that was once secret is now being shared openly. With the information highway we now have the ability to share our knowledge and understanding with vastly more people than has ever been possible before, and now that quantum physics has also caught up with the idea of some unifying force that underpins everything, there is a whole new language emerging which enables us to bring these ancient concepts into a modern understanding.

So now more people than ever are finding themselves drawn to this holistic way of looking at things and it is our experience that healers are both born and made. It’s not either/or, it’s both! Some people get there by accident, others by design, and still others by a bit of both. It really doesn’t matter. Healing is about intent.
