The Healer's Self-Care Guide

In healing, your energy field is used as a conduit for the healing energies needed by others. Your field must vibrate in the frequency needed — so you constantly vary its vibration, transmitting different intensities of light.

This speeds up your own evolution (changes in frequency break holding patterns and release blocks) but can deplete you if you don't care for yourself. You don't generate the energy you transmit — you raise your frequency to match what's needed, then entrain energy from the UEF.

As long as your voltage is higher than the patient's, you transmit to them.If you try to heal when very tired, your voltage may be weaker than the patient's — and you could pick up negative energies of disease.

If you're very healthy, your system will clear low energies by energizing or repelling them. If worn out, you may take longer to clear them. If you have a tendency toward a particular illness, you could exacerbate your own situation.

Studies by Hiroshi Motoyama measured healer and patient acupuncture lines before and after healing. In many cases, the healer's lines for a particular organ were low after healing — but recovered their original strength a few hours later.

Motoyama also showed that the healer's heart meridian was usually strongerafter a healing, indicating the heart chakra is always used in healing.

Before a day of healing:

1. Do physical exercise in the morning (30-45 minutes)
2. Meditate to center yourself and open chakras
3. Do joint exercises to open acupuncture meridians
4. Do chakra charging exercises (levels 1-7)
5. Color breathing meditation to charge the aura
6. Vibrating exercise for grounding
7. Sitting meditation for centering
8. Drink a large glass of water

Before a day of healings, gather energy and focus on your purpose:

• • Meditate the evening before or the morning of the healing day
• • Allow one minute per patient
• • Hold your mind completely blank while drawing in energy for one minute per patient
• • Or focus your mind on each patient while drawing in energy
• • Visualize or feel energy flowing into you

• • Choose a room with direct sunlight and access to open air
• • Smudge with cedar and sage (Native American tradition) — start at the easternmost point, move clockwise, with a door open
• • Keep crystals around the room to collect DOR — clean in sea salt + spring water overnight
• • Use negative ion generators
• • Never work in an unventilated room
• • Never work with fluorescent lights (they interfere with aura pulsation)
• • Epsom salts + alcohol in a saucepan, lit, carried around the room

One of the most important things a healer needs is private personal time and space. This is not easy — most healers are in great demand.

It is imperative to be able to say: "No, I need time for myself now," no matter how great the demand. When you need time, give it to yourself. If you don't, you'll get depleted and have to stop practicing anyway.

Don't wait till there's nothing more to give. Rest now. Give time to hobbies and personal pleasures. Lead a full personal life that provides for your needs. If you don't, you'll eventually try to get those needs met by patients — developing dependencies that interfere with healing.

Signs you may be depleted or burning out:

• • Accumulating DOR in your body — feeling heavy, sluggish
• • Vibrations slowing down, getting weaker
• • Sensitivity decreasing (you may not notice — sensitivity decreases with vibrations)
• • Feeling drained after healings rather than energized
• • Developing dependencies on patients
• • Getting sick frequently
• • Feeling resentful about demands

If you notice these signs, stop. Take time for yourself. You cannot serve others from an empty cup.

• • Always channel, never radiate — connect to the UEF, don't use your own energy
• • Keep your voltage higher than the patient's — don't heal when tired
• • Wear protective crystals
• • Drink water after every healing
• • Take sea salt baths regularly
• • Get plenty of rest, sunshine, and fresh air
• • Maintain daily exercise and meditation practice
• • Take days off — no healing work
• • Have your own support system — friends, colleagues, a healer for yourself
• • Continue personal growth work — clear your own blocks

Your first challenge is to heal yourself. Focus on that, then find ways to help others heal themselves. This leads to your development as a healer.

If you take care of yourself, healing someone with the same disease you have tendencies toward may actually help you learn to generate the frequencies needed to cure yourself.

"Love and honor yourselves as we honor you. After all, we are in the presence of the Divine when we are with you. You are fully held in the arms of God and loved. Know this, and you shall be home free."
