Embracing Your Journey of Self-Discovery and Integrity as a Healer

Being a healer is not about healing another, but working together in co-creation with Spirit to generate the circumstances whereby they may initiate their own healing process. As we do, our own unhealed wounds may surface for healing.

It is vital that we take the time to sit with our own exiled soul parts, turning towards them with compassion and acceptance, whatever they may be and wherever they may lie. To hear their voice, be it a whisper or a shout and to do the inner work to illuminate and integrate these parts.

Integrity in the ‘profession’ of healing must take precedence over the ego of ‘being a healer’. Holding impeccable space means being willing to take a step back when spirit calls to go within so we don’t fall into the trap of unconsciously trying to heal ourselves through our clients.

If we are unable to move with the natural process of expansion and contraction, we may find ourselves in turmoil, as parts of our ego struggle with not being available, being seen to be withdrawing or not putting others needs before our own. Accepting that when we are not in full alignment with ourselves, we are unable to hold a clear space for others is an essential part of the work and shines a light on where we still have work to do.

As physical illness, emotional triggers or spiritual crises appear, we may view them as our teachers and mentors, offering us the opportunity to once again return to our true essence and allow that to carry us through, regardless of what is occurring externally.

Feeling ourselves whole beneath or beyond the pain of the disorder in our field allows us to know who we are beyond this body, beyond this lifetime and come back to our eternal selves. We realise the ‘disruption’ is an opening or portal into our shadow, asking us to illuminate and integrate both our darkness and our light around the issue.

As we integrate, we become more whole, coming back to our soul’s journey, our mythic path. Even if it does not result in immediate or even eventual ‘cure’, we are doing the ultimate work we have come here to do.
