Top five Challenges for beginner Energy Healers

Coming out as a healer can be a bit like coming out as sexually divergent. It can feel lonely, uncomfortably other, illegitimate, frowned upon and scary. It is very important to surround yourself with other people who are walking a similar path, who are open to your qualities, choices and perceptions of the world. You need community, and you need to belong. The best place to find this is in the company of other healers.

There are many contradictory and often very tenuous theories about what energy healing is, and how it works. Despite considerable evidence and research, mainstream (Western) medicine and science tends to categorize the whole thing as nothing more than quackery - esp. Wikipedia. So when you discover that you can move energy, feel energy, see it, hear it and transmit it across space (and time for that matter), it can come as a considerable shock to your sense of reality.

The healing profession is characterized by sudden shifts in your vibrational frequency - little awakenings or large ones. These experiences can be euphoric and wondrous. They can also be very confusing and sometimes more than a little scary. So how do you know if you are delusional or undergoing a spiritual awakening? My advice is to be brave.

Just as meditation is not really about relaxation, so too healing is not all rainbows and unicorns. You are pretty much guaranteed to be working with death, despair, confusion, pain and darkness. This is some of the most important work that you can be doing with your life. But it is taxing and strenuous at times. Each shadow requires skill, kindness and stamina to master. So learning the heavier side of your calling is definitely part of the process.[enter link description here]
