Healing others except oneself

[arkimote06]

Is it possible that you have a gift of healing and you can use this to others but for some reason you can't heal yourself?

[Andrew Gubb]

for me reiki works better on other people than for me. i prefer to do a reiki exchange than to do self-reiki. for other healing forms, such as introspection, solitude works but even then I do appreciate getting external help at times (e.g. introspection using someone else as a sounding-board).

i don't know your gift, but perhaps you could find someone with the same gift and agree to exchange healing. otherwise, perhaps it could be a self love issue that holds you back from healing yourself? no idea about your situation, just throwing ideas out there.

There are a lot of things that you can put in the way of being able to Heal yourself. They are all - of course - self-imposed. Every Medicine Person I've ever known who helps others realize their potential as a Healer will start with having their students release those self-imposed limitations.

arkimote06, I have some of the same experience as you about this. My self-healing ability after my first couple years - by which I mean after getting my Reiki-master level attunements - diminished. The training and attunements helped me hugely, but my ability to use Reiki for self-healing tapered off. (I'm speaking of physical healing mostly... but it may be true, to some extent also, with inner, emotional healing too).

I now actively seek the assistance of other healers in resolving my personal ailments.

I feel Andrew's advice here is very good. Find someone to exchange with.


Now on the general topic that you have raised... I remember reading about a fantastic healer who had great healing ability with physical ailments.He could heal people's physical issues at a level far beyond anybody I've ever met personally. Anyhow, this guy could not heal his own physical problems, and could not heal those of his wife or children. Some things are difficult to explain.

Interesting. I can use my minor healing abilities (or should I say soothing abilities?) on everyone, but I have a bigger gift for drawing and can never DRAW myself or my own people right. Not even from a photo. The connection is that I "sense" more than "see" people I draw and try to picture what they are, just like I "sense" people when I want to help them.

I am currently reading a book about chaos, which explores how both imagination and things behind the obvious reality work, and they have some close similarities...can't explain it with accuracy yet, though.

Yeah it's very frustrating coz I healed somebody at a distant place and some relatives but I can't help myself. It just loses my integrity and their trust when they say look at you, you're more sick than I am.

Well, my .02 is tha this is more the typical situation than not. It is harder to work on yourself or those close to you everyone has their own blind spots and because the closeness of the relationship clouds one's perception in being able to do the work. There's a loss of objectivity. Most healers I know do not work on their own family, for this reason. I don't differentiate between physical and emotional healings, since they are closely tied. That's why clarity and objectivity is important, and that gets hard when it is either yourself or your own immediate family. You just won't be able to see things as easily if it were someone else.

For example, if you're working on your mom and you see that an illness situation has roots in a deeply emotional trauma, is it really appropriate for you to work on it with her and go there? Maybe, but then maybe not. The relationship issues between you and her are bound to cause some static. It's just not the same as if it is with a regular client.

And of course, everyone has their own blind spots when working on themselves....that is why working on yourself sometimes has limits also.

Trade with other healers. Much easier.

I tested my skill yesterday evening...I suffered so much stomach ache for more than 2 hours. The same pain before I get operated. I focused so much on my self vibrating positively and white light around me. A gargoyle face with red skin flashed for about seconds in my vision then I continue with my prayer. After 3 hours I slept well and the stomach ache is now gone. I'm still working on my lungs because of my flu. I hope I get well soon.

The idea of exchange healing is really good. NO man is an island. That's why I keep in touch in this forum. I'm not trained and mostly my skills are just natural gift that's why I can't use it accurately.

is this something to do if you're crystal?
Because of their unusual sensitivity, they can only heal one person at a time. They then need to go to a peaceful place to cleanse their aura. Working with too many people can short-circuit their system.

someone willing to heal me? i'm so drain this past few days.

I've tried too many things this past few days and my system had short circuit. I feel so drained now. I need an exchange of healing energy
