If you are an energy healer and you are not willing to refer a client to someone else, you have no business doing energy work on others’.

This is going to be a little bit of a rant, but I have seen way too many ‘supposed’ healers telling people to be “positive” and ONLY teaching them about the Law of Attraction (because they read a book, or watched “The Secret”) and frankly, they are giving those of us who were born with a gift a bad rep.  Yes, everything is energy, and energy is everything, but unless you are an expert at working with your OWN energy, you should not ‘help’ other people.  There is more to energy healing than just ‘being positive’.

The “New Age” movement is not a scam. We are in a completely different and “New” energy than we have been before.

Not everything can be fixed with (supposed) “positivity” alone.  That is why “New Age” is getting such a bad reputation for being BS.  Because the way some “healers” are practicing it, it is BS. 

I have helped thousands of people with healing.  I have people who’s lives are forever changed just from having worked with me.

I also have a couple of clients that are now on anti-depressant/anti-anxiety medications they would not have bothered to get if they had not worked with me.  I have a couple who have died, (but at least passed with some issues resolved, cleared karma before they did so).  NOTE:  this is out of THOUSANDS and every single one of us will die at some point (I’ve never killed anyone 😊).

Recently I have met a couple of Ex-energy healers.  They took a class, got in touch with their intuition, were getting pretty psychic, hung out their sign, couldn’t help very many people, and then realized they had their own unresolved traumas, and now call “New Age” a scam.  Some of them are very angry, and are doing their own ranting online.  Thing is, its not a scam.  They were not trained well in mastering their own ‘stuff’ FIRST. 

It doesn’t work to “try” and teach someone about abundance if you are broke and suffering; or, trying to teach someone how to have a great business, if you don’t have one.  Don’t council someone about relationships if all your relationships are a mess.  If you are looking for a healer or teacher, find one that has what you want and has proven they have dealt with their stuff first ~ you will recognize them, they are happy and flourishing.

It’s simply that the people training these healers are not giving them the whole story.  Whoever trained them should have told them that in order to help someone else you can’t be walking around completely messed up yourself.  (Most of us humans do have ‘something’ going on, I myself am not ‘perfect’ all the time, but I am able to walk my talk consistently).  I teach what I know, and I teach what I do and how I act.  I don’t teach “theory” of how to be emotionally/spiritually healthy, I am happy and I teach how I got this way and how I maintain it even through challenges.

Traumas are held in our minds, our cells and in all our energy bodies.  We have Third Dimensional bodies.  YES, we can, with the power of our minds, change pretty much anything in our bodies, but if we have unresolved trauma, it will never work.  Just try and remove trauma from the cells with “Positive affirmations” when there is trauma in your cells and your mind ~ I dare you.

You can be intuitive/psychic/move energy, or whatever you want to call it, but without being able to see when you can’t help, you should not practice.  Ever. Period. 

I help a lot of people with clearing old traumas.  However, there are times when I will refer someone to a ‘specialist’ on energy + trauma + the physical/emotional/mental bodies +++ PHYSICAL.  Did I mention physical?  Not every thing can be helped on a physical level with only energy.  (unless of course you are as powerful a healer as Jesus was, and if so then let me know because I’d like to refer some of my clients to you).

We are humans.  One of the many reasons we came here was to experience contrast and emotions.  Pretending to be happy and positive when you aren’t can do very serious harm.

You need to feel your emotions.  No, you don’t need to wallow in them.  I’ve had a pretty traumatic couple of years myself.  I am a super positive and happy person.  Like, really happy. 

That does not mean that I never have any emotion that would be considered “negative”.  When I first thought about writing this I was mad.  Just taking the POSITIVE emotions that came with it and writing this out is making me happy again.  See how I took that negative emotion and transmuted it into something positive?

Sometimes I miss my husband so much I get sad and cry (please please please do NOT throw “pity” energy my way, I’m good, and pity/sad energy feels yucky to me, that’s why I haven’t written much lately ~ love energy is always welcome though). 

Anyway, I do cry and release energy once in a while.  I don’t cry every day.  I don’t feel guilty when I have a really good day, or a good laugh (which I do OFTEN).  When I’m having a good day I run with it and enjoy myself with gratitude for all I have.

When I have a sad day, I let myself be sad (although I can still find gratitude).  I suppose I am “positive” in that when I do have a sad day my self-talk contains words and phrases like “its okay, don’t do anything today, just watch TV on the couch or nap”; or, “you know you will feel better in a little while, do what you need to do for yourself” (I’m big on self-care); or, “yesterday was a good day, feel what you need to feel, you will have a good day again when you are ready”.

So, yes, positivity is a good thing.  Negativity would be saying “I am NEVER going to get over this, my life is ruined forever”. 

But please, stop listening to people who tell you to be positive all the time.  Or people who can’t tell the difference between positive and negative feelings (see above).  We NEED to mourn our losses, we NEED to release anger (in a constructive way), anger held down and turned inwards leads to depression.

Everything is about balance.  Ying/yang, positive/negative, physical/emotional/spiritual/physical (see what I did there).  We came here to experience all of it.  Let yourself feel.  Stop putting smiley faces on intense “negative” emotion (that will make you sick).  Work with your healer in conjunction with a physical doctor if you need to (God made doctors too).  The trick is to use all the tools in the toolbox, not just a paint-brush (sometimes you need a hammer)

Anyway, I think this is the end of my rant 😊

Always with love,
