HEALING OTHERS


1. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of modalities that can be used to help someone heal, from prayer to Reiki, from gong baths to cranial sacral methods, from hands-on therapies to distance healing through meditation, to name just a few. Although workshops and books often advise students that what they teach is superior to any other form, the healing method you use actually doesn’t matter. What will work best is what most strongly resonates with you.

2. If you have doubts that your healing is effective, pretend that you are a powerful healer and transmitter. What would it feel like if you knew for certain that you could be a vessel for healing someone miraculously? How would that change what you do? The most impressive healers throughout human history, as far as we know, never expressed or held even the slightest doubt. Doubts create a barrier, like a film, that prevents healing power from coming through.

3. While being fully confident, it is also imperative to remove your ego from the process. Recognize that the most profound healers open themselves up to allow positive energies and spiritual forces that are often beyond human understanding to work through and with them.

4. Detach yourself from the results. Recognize that some people have signed up for certain soul lessons or have other important reasons for why they do do not heal completely or immediately. Perhaps the person who cannot be fully healed is supposed to seek out physical therapy, because in the waiting room of the physical therapist they will meet their soulmate! Another individual may have contracted with the divine to learn life lessons that involve the humility and helplessness of being ill. Do not take it personally if someone does not have the results that you or they hope for. Sending healing to a person with the intent of its going to their highest good may give them comfort, courage, love, or other needed assurance beyond that which is visible or obvious to you.
