Healers have an inherent desire to help and be of service to others. They commit to intensive courses and years of practice to master their craft. They learn the importance of maintaining an open heart and reacting to the emotions that arise in energy work without judgment. They also learn to hold the space with neutrality. This can only be achieved by trusting their intuition as they must allow, release and relay messages they receive with guidance only. This is perhaps the most important aspect to learn.
Intuition is that voice in our head that warns us of danger or assures us that the decisions we are making are safe. As these decisions are not factually based, it is easy to dismiss them as fanciful or inaccurate. Indeed learning to trust your intuition is challenging for many Healers, as it is one of the more difficult aspects of their responsibilities. It is, however, one of the most important for it truly is one of their greatest assets.
If a Healer is having difficulty trusting their intuition, it typically stems from limiting thoughts and beliefs. These are patterns that hold you in a negative, repetitive cycle and thus need to be removed. It is by removing these mental obstacles that you will slowly begin to trust your intuition. Eventually, it will become as natural and normal as breathing and you will be able to fully trust in the Divine to be your guide.
As many Healers have experienced these issues throughout their careers, a great way of dealing with them is by joining a Community. The common values and goals shared within a Community are important measures for any Healer. The support and understanding that a Community offers is invaluable. It should be like your soul family; like-minded folks that appreciate and support you in all of your endeavors. The community that I created is our Shamanic Reiki community. This Community will help heal the wounds from this life or other lifetimes, if we allow ourselves to be vulnerable and hear our inner voice of wisdom and knowledge.
Practitioners, Healers or anyone working within the energy healing field must also initiate self care, while holding space for others. Part of that self care is belonging to a community that understands the challenges and experiences you encounter as you heal and grow within yourself. Every time you engage in a session or perform a healing piece for yourself, there is an evolution of change happening. It all starts with you: “From within, so without”! In groups or communities, we can then be part of the web of life that keeps us connected and healthy. If you are new to Healing or have been a practitioner for years, becoming a member of the Reiki Community only serves to enhance your skills and benefit your clients. Together we can make an impact on this planet!
