Question:
For most of my adult life, I have had the “knowingness” that healing “auras”, or energies, pass through my hands, and can, perhaps, be effective in easing the suffering of others. Mostly, I have placed my hands on my children, or husband, usually without their knowledge, but occasionally, I have directed this energy long-distance, and the results have been such that I am both gladdened and also slightly frightened.
I am an RN, but haven’t worked as such in many years. My husband is a retired ophthalmologist, one son is a family practitioner, and another son-in-law is also an ophthalmologist. I mention this only so that you will know that I’ve spent my life immersed in the field of medicine…..and hence, have encountered enough disbelief to make me question myself. I am, however, certified in PSM (Primordial Sound Meditation) and SSLY……and have always sought spiritual direction in my life. Your teachings have been wonderfully illuminating, confirming, in a way, what I’ve always known, and leading to a deepening and opening in my spiritual life.
My question is how to appropriately use these gifts. I have been advised to ask permission of the person before sending the healing……….but this seems presumptuous, and implies that “I” can actually “heal”. I feel that this is energy that simply passes through me, and that virtually anyone could ”do” the same thing. Yet my intuition tells me to use this gift. I don’t wish to withhold this nor do I wish to set myself up as some sort of healer! Help!
Response:
You don’t need to worry about how to use your gift. Your intention is to use it to help people and your intuition is very refined; you will be guided to use this gift in a way that is comfortable for you. Regarding the point about getting permission, that is an issue of courtesy and respect for the choice of the person involved. It isn’t about presuming that you can heal them. Getting permission is actually an act of humility as well, because you are acknowledging that what is in the person’s best interest maybe lack of intervention by you.
If you have previous permission or understanding with your children and husband that they welcome and appreciate your healing help, then it’s not necessary to go through such formalities with them every time you feel guided to help them. You don’t have to worry about getting informed consent forms signed all the time.
If, for some reason, it isn’t appropriate for you to get involved with their healing process, then your inner guidance will let you know right away. Many practitioners have also developed a silent and reliable means of checking whether their efforts are welcome, even when verbal permission is not possible—such as with infants and pets. Thank you for helping out. The world needs all the assistance you have to offer.
Love,
Deepak
