Subscribe to Inspired Healing Practitioners Group - Discussion The H-word: "Don't call me a healer, I don't "fix anybody."

So! One of the other discussions Lorayne brings up a great point. She says "I recognize that I do not heal anyone. The clients heal themselves; I merely provide insight"

IT comes out!

The use of the word Noun "HEaler" is not ideal.

I totally get that. We all facilitate healing. That's very different from going in to a session and thinking you can "fix" another person's body.

I think any healing that occurs is a function of systems coming alive in the body of the receiver, inspired by the work we do with them.

ah. I already love this group!

    I think that we co-create healing.

    Speaking as a person who has received as much healing as she has provided, I know that ultimately I, as an individual, can choose to be healed at any moment.

    And yet...I don't quite know how to pull that off all the time. So I do need my healers to work wtih me. Yes, if I'm not open and allowing and participating in my own healing, it won't happen. But I think we do heal each other....however that works.

    I heal others. People heal me. It's all one energy, really, yes, but to me, using "heal" as a verb just refers to the person holding the firehose as the energy flows through it.

    Just my two cents.

    I feel like it's a fine line with this one. I definitely consider myself a practitioner of healing arts, however, that refers more to facilitation and creating space than actually healing another person. If it were that easy, I would heal everyone that walks into my office, but it doesn't quite work that way. I am extremely proactive about making sure that my clients don't consider me some outside force that does wonders on their body while they lay passively and receive. Healing comes from within. I am simply creating awareness and a healthier environment for the body to do what it does best. Thanks for the topic Sierra!
