Acting Like Godot - awesome point! I think that should be energy healing 101, but it amazes me how few people understand this principle. I think ego sometimes gets in the way - people get "I'm the healer, let me fix you" syndrome, and forget that all we are doing is assisting others to draw on their own infinite Source and heal themselves.

Erin - I have the same experience at the gym. Actually, the more spiritual development work and psychic readings I do, the harder this becomes. Sensitivity isn't always easy to deal with.

Neblasian - if we "take on" other people's issues, it can definitely harm us. But that's not our role! Again, some people's egos get in their own way. But whether other people's negativity affects us in any way is always our choice - we're never victims! And yes, I think energy work should be practiced under the guidance of a good teacher. And when you get into psychic and high-level spiritual development work, this is especially true. I continue to work with both my students and teachers - it's so important!
