Hello, this was a refreshing read, i just want to chip and and say that some healers do possess critical thinking and can see through the new age nonsense. I realised I had a natural healing ability when i was 18 years old, i'm 30 now. I have researched and delved into all sorts trying to find some sort of understanding/explanation as to what this is, how it works, and how best to fine tune it. I've been called an 'indigo child' so many times and i did buy into that whole thing in my early twenties. My blog is called myindigoinsight because i intend to shed some light on topics such as what you are discussing, and share my thoughts and experiences/perspectives but from an honest perspective, not sugar coated with bullcrap. It is something that seriously needs addressing. You are correct there is this whole new age love and light brigade, as much as many in this movement mean well, i think many people are very deluded as to their own spiritual progression and what they really are deep down. I have had some fantastic results in healing sessions with my clients, and then ive had some epic failures too. When i went looking for advice or help in the spiritual community yes i was told things like 'oh they must have been closed off from it' etc. This was not satisfactory for me. I have always told people that im simply human, i have days where i don't feel well, where i didn't sleep much the night before, where my rent is due and im short and my monkey brain is going crazy with stress, where i drunk too much the night before and really shouldn't have booked any sessions! Im only a conduit, for exactly what i dont know, and i don't pretend to know how exactly it works. i am trying to find out though. What i do know is that my mental and physical condition are variables which impact the outcome. And i also believe that sometimes you just don't vibe with people. You don't vibe with every single person you encounter on a day to day basis and that can happen with clients too. If after 2 or 3 sessions there is no beneficial effect, and i can't pin point something going on with my self which could be the cause, im just honest with people and say look maybe our energies just don't mix, go and try someone else, there are so many healing modalities and methods out there from all over the world, dont just try one, go find one or find someone that works for you. If your ego is too big to admit that you're not some magical hero who can help everyone, and you convince your self and possibly the person involved that they are just 'not open' to it. Then you are doing your self and your purpose a massive injustice.
I have realised that a lot of people who realise they have some type of ability to work in this way, think they are somehow superior or special, and dont need to do the personal work on themselves like everyone else has to to evolve on a spiritual/mental level. Me personally, i am on a massive journey to sort my head and life out, because i have realised that i have to address all of my issues and ill thinking before i can really see what i can do, and it has been my own personal hell. It is uncomfortable, it's hard, but i am working on my self, otherwise im just en egotistical hypocrite that says all the spiritual things and seem's to display them on the surface, but deep down is a hypocrite. Ill even hold my hand up and admit i've been that person, but thankfully it was short lived. I started listening to myself instead of new age guru's, and i feel like i am making progress.
