Healing Practitioners Trouble-shooting

[HiImJeremy]

Aho and Hello!

Latley i have found a deep fascination in healing. I't only really been since December that i've really began the fascination with it, but since then i've done two group healings and a couple of absent healings. This is what's going on with me at the moment.

I find that after a healing, maybe a few hours or more, i get really really exhausted and tired. My prognosis is that perhaps im using heaps and heaps of my own energy, over doing it and then feeling the effects of of it later on.

I know there are some good healers in here. I havent had any formal energy training. I am thinking of Pranic healing or reiki but at this time not really.

Does anybody know how i can alter the way i heal slightly so that i dont over do it with what i give?

Also i think this might be a good place for other healers to post stuff! I'd be really interested in experiences, stories, ideas even helpful tips and ethics if you guys have any

Thank You

Aho!

Hi what kind of healing are you into?

I'm not directly in healing but I really have to watch myself that I don't open up compassionate connections, which give people away my "healing" energy. Currently I'm severing 4 of them.

I was said I've healing abilities, but I don't want to develop them, because I want to use the energy for other things and offer my part in a different way.

G'day sb

I dont do any certified type of healing. I suppose you could say i'm using my own brand of healing.

I go into a deep meditation and i go to a special place where i conduct my healings. Guides normally accompany me and help and i normally get guidance as well.

Thing is i exert so much of myself i end up being exhuasted. I do recharge up at the end of a healing in the meditation. I dont have a problem with that. It's the group healings where i dont go into meditation but play the crystal singing bowls. I might just need to recharge.

As I have already mentioned in some other posts, true healing is never manipulation. That is, we never force anything onto another person. And if they agree to the healing, we just let go and let God, so to speak. Humility is the most important virtue of any true healer.

Let the Universal Love flow through your heart to the person and the rest leave to God.

Every discomfort has its cause and a lesson to be learned. Nobody has the right to take away the learning material of another. So, just let go. If the person is ready, if they really want to get healed and if they have understood what they are supposed to understand with regards to the situation, a miracle may happen. But we should never cling to the result. It is not us who heal. Healing happens through us.

If you let Love flow through your heart and do the healing, you will find that not even you won't feel tired after the healing, but right on the contrary, you yourself will feel much better too as a result.

Hi Mate

This Is a massive subject. It can depend on your levels of energy before the healing. It can depend especially when doing absent healing as to whether you are using just your own mind or you are asking for external help so to speak like guides, angels, elements etc. I sit In a quadrant of clear quartz at times when doing absent healing work for energy amplification.

Lets put It this way If your not used to going down the gym your body will ache lol.

When an Individual starts to use the mind In ways that It's not used to the mind energy can seem tired and have a similar effect on you and your energies.

Ultimately we are all just mere channels for the healing ray's but occasionally the Individuals own energy resources can get drained.

Magnetic healing being one aspect of healing where the Individuals own energy must be In tip top condition so to speak.

We all work towards being the clearest of channels. If a pipe Is half filled with mud then the water cannot flow. It Is the same for the flow of light In healing work but what represents the mud In this Instance Is the energies of self doubt fear resentments guilts etc, etc,

That resonated with me a lot especially. Thank you very much!

Someone suggested to me to see myself bathed in white light and also physically washing my hands after to let my mind feel corners from any toxins. That has worked for me. I was actually getting sick myself after healings.

[Kaie]

Yes, I do the light, hand washing thing after Reiki sessions, but my teacher also showed me that to ground myself, to touch some wood, and/or the earth (wood works especially well) I also founf that with Reiki, if I just allowed it, I would have no ill effects, but when I tried to guide it myself, that was when I was weakened.

[AngelPsychic444]

A great tip would be to call on Archangel Raphael and the angels of healing before you do a healing and ask them directly to help the person you're working on PLUS help you replenish your energy as you heal them, so that afterwards you'll feel fine. The angels can give you loads of energy before, during the healing and after....all you need to do is ask. Also, these angels could train you, in intuitive ways, as you heal someone. On another note you could also ask them to train you to become an expert healer, in your dream state at night... so it's like you could go to healing classes each night as you sleep and the information will be integrated into your mind and body when you wake up. Archangel Raphael can do marvelous things for you!

[HiImJeremy]

Thanks guys! this is great stuff

I really love your suggestion AngelPsychic. Also being trained in the night. Now theres a thought! i will try it i think.

You also might want to read the book "the healing miracles of Archangel Raphael" by Doreen Virtue, just to get a better idea of who exactly this archangel is, and how he works with people to heal them.

[HiImJeremy]

I dont think i would want to read anything of Doreen Virtues ever again.

She's lost her path.

Once she was good but money and that divorce have gotten to her. Many of the oracle card packs under her name were not hers at all but others who hay house said they wouldnt manufactuer unless her name was on it.

Her books to me also seem to just be stuff from her other books, in some cases read word for word.

My teacher was very good friends with Doreen Virtue. In fact she would read for Doreen, this is how i know these things. There was one time my teacher was in the lecture theatre where Doreen was doing her course and a lady was coughing and coughing and not stopping. My teacher went to her and asked her if she could give her reiki and she did and she was feeling immediatley better.

At the end of the session Doreen came to my teacher and told her off she said " This is not a place for you to be showing off and getting a name for yourself! this is a place to learn about the Angels"

My teacher told her this lady was coughing so much she couldnt breathe and Doreen didn't stop the lecture to check on her or take any notice of her at all. she could have died and she owuldnt have noticed.

She continued to say that " If she was having troubles then she should have called on the Angels"

Here pay me $800 and i'll teach you about Angels haha. It's a joke to me now. No integrity at all.

This is why i won't read her books but alas money will do that.

Some info was good, and i have no doubt she works with angels at all, but she's not for me.

[Summerbreeze]

Sorry if I ride Jeremy's wave, but I'm glad he said this.

I read 2 books of her and they are in some way helpful, but it's somewhere obvious that she is doing it for the money and is able to put a book quickly together, but it lacks substance. It's not bad in general, but she should concentrate her knowledge more and not spread it as broad as possible on several books.
I also read in the references of her books, that most book are having very congruent content, though she surely has a style that is good to reconnect depressed people.
I just "speedread" it because of the loose-content and was more shrugging with the shoulders, I know now I can ask the angels for everything and it is awesome, I had some experiences with them, that are whooo , but why writing so many congruent books?
The book you mentioned is, regarding the references, filled with mostly stories from people.

Don't get me wrong - angels are awesome, as well as the Archangels, but I think especially in a sensitive area is more integrity quite cool.

[HiImJeremy]

I second that sb

[AngelPsychic444]

I am aware of Doreen's ups and downs and also her messy divorce and all that. So I understand where you guys are coming from. I still think her books are very valuable to people learning about angels, some of them are very "light" as you said, but people who are beginners appreciate them.

So even with all the things she's been through and how she seem's to be "going crazy" a bit lately.... I think we can still learn alot from her information. Thank heaven's there are many other people out there also writing angel books.... so all is not lost! And we still have the great Tom Moore, who's done an amazing job, with his Most Benevolent Outcomes!

Jeremy, I suggest that if healing is draining you, instead of charging you (which is the effect it has on me) then you are most likely giving of yourself, rather than just catalyzing a flow of energy already in motion.

It is not about draining yourself for another..it is about..dancing with energy that is already there. I hope that makes sense.

[HiImJeremy]

Thanks Rebecca!

You're right, i'm giving heaps of myself when i heal. I have much to learn and integrate.

[Lamusa]

Hi Jeremy,

This is a great question. It got me to think a lot about healing and energy. Here are some steps that might help. I've also just started a new thread in this section in which I've expanded a bit on some ideas about healing and maintaining energy. This is what helps me.

Steps:
1- Before you do your healing, focus on the heart center and/or behind the navel – see a light in these areas, feel the light
2- Slow down Your Breathing
3- Always Invite higher Support to join with you in your healing - God, the angels, Guides, higher self, a beloved ancestor – this will help you to increase your energy and your healing capability. Your own energy as a human being is limited but once you tap into the energy of your higher self, God, angels, etc, and align with this energy there’s truly no limit.
4- Do your method of healing - whatever your modality, I also recommend visualizing lots of golden light, white light (as light is very energizing, penetrating and healing – particularly Golden light- heat is powerful for circulation and for getting rid of blockages) in the healing of the person and on yourself. If you find yourself losing energy slow down your breathing, focus on your heart center. Try to focus on your heart as much as you can during your healing.
5- After the healing store the energy behind the navel. Circulate it clockwise.
6- Rub your hands together for several seconds
7- Briefly massage your face
8- Massage your ears
9- Most importantly practice, practice, practice. You practice healing not only by healing other people but by working on yourself through meditation–it is important to make this connection with your higher self every day. A few minutes is sufficient but if you can increase the time that’s even better. (after each meditation store your energy behind the navel. The more energy you store the more you have to draw from. But you have to store it. Be patient, practice regularly and your energy will expand. This will help you to become more healthy and powerful and you will be able to help much more profoundly in the healing of others)

All the Best with your Healing Practice,

Lamusa

Great post, Lamusa

We are conduits of all energy that is..that being said, there is no need to give of self, past the compassion that urges you to assist in the first place. After that, it's all about the dance.

If you would like, Jeremy..we can meet up in chat later and practice a few things..so you can feel the slight differences...so you will feel it as it happens..rather than afterward. Hit me up when you can, Bub.
Love and hugs,
Rebecca

Thanks, Rebecca,

I like what you said about it being a dance. It truly is. In my day to day life I sometimes feel as though I am giving in certain areas more so than someone else but I don't feel energy drained so much as I might feel irritated at times and wish they could give me energy, too. Their are many ways to feel this energy drain I suppose. Mine can come out as anger or resentment, as my ego gets kicked up but then I meditate or connect with the love in my life that is offered more freely and this irritation diminishes and I feel much better about opening my heart to someone else in need of what positive healing energy I am able to give them. I guess what's important to remember is that the universe, God, whatever you want to call it will always dance with you. But this is not always such a conscious thing for me in my day to day interactions with people. However, when I do healing I can understand this dance of energy much better because my ego is out of the way. I know i am here to help that person and that I will receive even more energy in return. It's a beautiful dance one that I will learn to carry through all other aspects of my life. I know this will help me to even become a more powerful healer.

What also helps is remembering times in my life when I've relied on someone's loiving, powerful healing energy to help carry me through difficult times or illnesses when I had so little to offer them and when I think about it like this opening my heart to other people, to help heal them, help them to reclaim their power though I may desire their support and love which they might be unable or unwilling to give, is a beautiful thing because it's not them it's the energy of the universe we are always dancing with. We truly never dance alone.

[codenamesmiley]

I honestly feel most of that drain you get, is because of allowing yourself to be emotionally attached to the outcome of the client.

I had that problem for a little while.

We learn to let go...allow that client to flow through our lives and then see them off, and not really concern ourselves with how they use what they have been given. After all, we do not wrap a christmas gift then inform the recipient how to use it, do we?

Same thing.

We want to do good for others, because we understand how wonderful it may have been to have that help from another at some point.

At this point, it is important to ask of self..."Am I in this, because I genuinely want to help others?" Or "Am I solely in this so my ego can feel like it is giving back?"

I have learned the hard way that expectations or attachments causes extreme energy mishaps within the healer.

I like to call it the dance..because there is a different intensity to each interaction..some are like the samba...others like a waltz..as long as you see it as dancing..the tempo won't throw you off much..as you know the song ends soon and another melody plays soon following.

Love and peace,
Rebecca

[HiImJeremy]

Thanks guys! great tips. Im working more on it everyday!

[codenamesmiley]

Work...really? :P"

[Mynder]

I have a visualization for you that may help, and that came to mind as a way to allow the energy to come not from you, but through you.

When you are in a healing session, you could envision your client and you standing besides a shallow, slow-moving river. As you start the healing, you gently lead your client into the river, and ask them to lie in the water. Then you gently direct their body in such a way that the river can better flow around the "dark spots", or areas that need the healing.

Let the river carry along with it the darkness, let it flow around you, through you, through your client, and when you're done, lead them back to the riverside, to dry in a gently warm breeze in the sunshine.

[HiImJeremy]

Thanks everyone for your help and suggestions!

Last night i performed another healing. This time in my sacred space, my haven, sanctuary, they had built in a sort of rejuvenation spar for hwne i had finished LOL!!!

It was awesome.... Like having a personal jaquzi of warm bubbling golden and white light. hahahaha. I styaed in there for like 30 seconds and i was all good to go....but i stayed longer ahahahah.

So now i dont feel exhausted at all. Another thing i noticed.

Always go into the healing balanced and clear. Deep breathing, standing outside and grounding, and a little meditation helped to align my perfectly.

I also gave up all expectations and just let the healing do it's work. I have yet to see results. Im very excited.

Thanks again for all the info and nudges.

Jeremy

[codenamesmiley]

Jeremy, When I am doing healing work..as I finish with one chakra and head to the next...I fill myself and client in that area with golden wrapped white light..so that In the end..each energy center has it's own golden white light filling...(making each self-sustaining). I find this helps to keep one chakra from pulling another down if it(or it's human) falls back into old perception patterns and the like.
