I agree with Suzanne here. I feel strongest when I remember that in the ancient past, as a healer I would have stepped out into my community as a full and vested member of that society. I would step out among my people with a confident belief in my powers and in the knowledge of [...]

Don’t lose track of the topic (you maybe didn’t read Idonea’s blog post). The topic is about those who believe healing *should be* free and who then criticize anyone who charges for the service.

With discussion, if you’re in favor or support a broader scope, what do you think would be an appropriate name change then? Keep in mind we need to keep names simple so that language translation is as accurate as possible.

@Suzanne, very nicely stated.

As I venture deeper into my own expression of healing, I find that my core essence has everything to do with how I guide my journey with it, not just with what I do, but how I do it too. I was originally trained in energy healing back in 95 with Eric Pearl, but the [...]

@Nicole. Nice. Thanks for clarifying. I know it’s really easy to want a quick fix. Usually when I’m looking for something along those lines, I quickly remember the fix is usually tied to the need to hurry up and change something.

It’s definitely a process/journey.

@yvonne, thanks! :)

@Bridgitte, in my case I think they meant follow your instincts and your natural talents – Don’t exclude the possibility of something because it doesn’t fit into the ‘box’ of Shiatsu, for example, because you may feel the need to incorporate other modalities, plus you might eventually work out something that is entirely your own [...]

@nicole, That’s really inspiring! What a great idea! To make sure to keep the curiosity alive! :)

Very nice, Nicole. That’s good to know. I’ve always thought that I’d like to be really good at one thing…so I could “master” it. I would definitely consider myself a life long learner, and do not think that I know all there is to know. I would like to believe that I’m following the light/life [...]

Excellent way of putting things Yvonne – I loved your analogy of things being too leak-proof. Nicole those two pieces of wisdom were fantastic. We seem to be so “box” oriented as if the box has some mystical advantage we can leverage. Let’s see if some more people can weigh-in on this. There are 28 [...]

I totally agree! Also, sharing knowledge here could spark an interest in learning a new modality, or using the knowledge to give our treatments a little something extra. I had an interesting experience in February last year that I’d like to share: I was at a holistic fair where I was giving head, neck and [...]
