Diary of a Heretic

“A mother came to the Hindu leader Mahatma Gandhi and said, ‘Gandhiji, tell my child to stop eating sugar.’ Gandhi responded, ‘Come back in three days.’ The mother was puzzled but she went away for three days. She returned and once again pleaded, ‘Gandhiji, please tell my child to stop eating sugar.’ He looked at the child and said ‘Stop eating sugar.’ Then the mother asked why it took him three days to give this instruction to her child. He replied, ‘Three days ago I was still eating sugar.’ “

In the role of the healer you need to model the behaviour you’re espousing, in other words you need to ‘walk the talk’. Easier said then done I know. As a healer myself I believe that you should treat all human beings not just your clients with compassion, respect and tolerance. Of course there will always be people that really get up your nose but if you cant treat them with compassion, respect and tolerance then perhaps you should reevaluate your motives for being a healer.

The healer is walking a spiritual path, a path of integrity and that should show through to whoever you connect with on your journey. You dont stop being a healer when you finish your client session, it follows you where ever you go. If you become arrogant and dissmissive of people it will reflect on you as a healer and as a spiritual being.

We are all here on this earth to learn and to grow and if you have been given a gift of healing then honour this gift in a way that it was intended. Open your heart and see the positive side of others. Perhaps if you find yourself in a position where someone is causing a negative effect on your emotions then you should look within to see why it is causing that response. Ask yourself are you honest with self and all who come into contact with you and can you honour the God/ess presence within each person regardless of how they feel about you?

So as a healer what is your integrity? Is it based on what your needs are and what your ego requires? If you walk your talk, then be conscious of your everday challenges with all, for it is then you will gain a real connection with the truth. This connection is more powerful than any false illusions created by your own sense of self importance.
