One True Healer
Evolving Magazine: March 2010

With my mental body running amok trying to decide what to write regarding alternative healing, I hear the muffled voice of my spirit guides speaking to me in the background. I breathe deeply, centering myself. I take another deep breath expanding myself beyond thought and open to listening. Their voice becomes clearer and it’s saying, “Alternative suggests one has a choice regarding Healers. How can there be a choice when there is only one Healer acting through us all? Even though you have studied and label yourself a healer, the true Healer is and always will be, God.”
On a daily basis, I call this Healer by the names: God, Goddess, Spirit, the Divine, the Source, Great Spirit, and the Universe.
One of the ways I describe my work is to say, “I am a holistic healer.”
I have studied many forms of alternative healing becoming a Reiki Master and Amanohuna practitioner. I have reawakened my inner Native Shaman and realigned myself with the Goddess Energies, of which one is Magnified Healing. I access various energy techniques that I call forth from past lives and experiences; offering a truly unique and personal energy session for each person.
In the sense that alternative healing for many refers to unconventional or nontraditional ways of healing, I work as an alternative healer.
However, am I really the Healer? I believe the answer is both yes and no. It all depends on which “I” is speaking, the big “I” or the little “i”, my Spirit or my ego/ personality.
As a healer I see it as my task to awaken, spark, or ignite your inner eternal flame, your Spirit, and with that flame burning, the healing you experience is generated from deep within yourself rather than from some external source. We are but mere catalysts to support the awakening of the true Healer within you.
Yes, You are 100% responsible for your healing. Societal conditioning may have you giving your power away to allopathic or holistic practitioners in places of authority but it is You that is in charge of your healing. My experience with allopathic medicine is that it does not assist in releasing core issues and most often only treats the client’s symptoms. The holistic practitioner assists in removing causal energies that keep you from realizing your inner Healer, meaning they treat the core issues as well as the symptoms. As balance is restored, you access the Healer within you, thus having the opportunity to create and embrace a miracle.
The holistic practitioner is also there to fan your inner flame, should your amnesia return and you pick up your self-destructive behavior patterns.
In 2003, a client with whiplash came to me about three weeks after a car accident. She had seen other practitioners and doctors and as she lied down cautiously, I was instantly guided to work on her stomach area. She mentioned that the pain was in her neck. I touched her neck, began sending energy, and heard my guides say, “The neck pain is a symptom. The cause lies in her solar plexus.” I returned to her stomach area and again she reminded me that the pain was in her neck. I said, “Your physical pain is a symptom. To heal, we need to work with the cause, which to me, is originating in your solar plexus.”
We spoke about personal power, where she was betraying herself, and about her ability to say, “No!” I suggested that being injured gave her a reason to say no and create boundaries. I gave “homework” suggestions and she left in pain, slightly less, but still in pain.
The next morning she called to share that a miracle had taken place and that she awoke 100% pain free. I suggested she not question a miracle and inwardly gave thanks to the true Healer.
By clearing the energy blockages and embracing her lesson, her inner Healer awakened and She created her own miracle.
So, to the word alternative, we have many choices on who we want to assist us and on what modality would be best for us now.
Of course, I would love everyone reading this article to receive a session from me, that would be very good for my business but it may or may not be good for you.
When people ask me what modality they should choose; which is the best one, which healer is a good one, I say, “Really your questions can only be answered by You. I can give you a few suggestions for choosing if you’d like.”
My suggestions go something like: a top priority is to create a sense of inner safety.
What follows the first thought is: do you feel guided to work with a man or a woman? This can narrow the selection process down significantly. It is very important to follow your inner guidance, as it is likely that it is your inner Healer directing you to a particular modality or person.
Next, I might prompt: do you enjoy being touched? If you desire no touch, then this rules out many modalities.
What about credentials? I find word-of-mouth to be the best credential. Some of the best healers I have worked with did not have a modern day diploma or letters before or after their name.
As a final suggestion, make the choosing process fun, see your visits to this healer as an adventure in self discovery, because after all, that is what will happen, you will discover that You are the only one that can heal you. Healing takes being accountable and means taking ownership. If you are feeling that either path, the allopathic or the holistic, has “failed” you and you’re sitting in a place of judging, this means you have placed your power outside yourself.
Remember, there is only one Healer, God/Goddess, and this Spirit resides within you.
