Because it directly impacts your health, knowing when to say, “Hands off, healer,” is probably one of the most important decisions you will learn.

The unintended consequences of healing gone awry….

A healer uses their gifts to help others, making a difference in many lives. They help ease other people’s pain and energy blocks, helping them to heal. They usually are heart-centered folks who feel a calling to connect and help others, which is needed in today’s world.

Many empaths will embark on this path, wanting to make a difference in the lives of others. They feel the emotions and energy of others and long to ease the denser, heavier emotions by transforming and releasing this energy. They begin learning a modality in order to facilitate their mission.

The healer chooses to be of service to others. Service to others, given with authentic compassion and desire to help, affects change. This change happens to both client and healer. There is no difference in giving and receiving. As Yoko Ono has said, “Healing yourself is connected with healing others.”

The flow of energy does not begin or stop. It flows in both directions. If your intent is to align and connect in order to heal, then you also receive healing. Energy is limitless. We are all connected. Energy flows through all; the important thing is to realize this and be open to it.

A healer is open and able to channel the flow of energy and the client is open to receive it; thus, both benefit. Modalities may include: touch, Quantum Touch, massage, or any healing method that works with your energy field.

Before a healer embarks on that journey, it is important that they attend to their own energy first. Why? If they begin without mastering their own, then they will risk attracting unintended consequences.

The first being that they will take on the negative energy of the people they work on. Secondly, any unhealed aspects of their own energy can be transferred to you. Most modalities teach the philosophies behind each method and technique. However, teaching and knowing does not mean healing.
