Comments on: A true healer http://heartofhealing.net/2008/01/18/a-true-healer/ Support for your healing journey Wed, 14 Dec 2011 17:17:24 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Mary http://heartofhealing.net/2008/01/18/a-true-healer/comment-page-1/#comment-24955 Mary Fri, 02 Oct 2009 17:15:35 +0000 http://heartofhealing.wordpress.com/2008/01/18/a-true-healer/#comment-24955 Hi Don, I'm sure there are healers in your area as skilled and compassionate as the one I described. Try to get some referrals to people in your area. There are so many modalities and styles of healing available now, and your sister needs to find just the right one for her. She could come miles to see this particular healer and it might not be quite the right one for her, or the right timing for her and so on. Your sister's healing process is unfolding from within her, one step at a time, as she tries different healers and methods. Hi Don,

She tried modern mecdicines and the pain keep coming back, we tried to find her a "true healer" but so far we haven't found one. Could you please refer her to your "true healer". She is willing to travel. Thank you so much Hi, my sister has a lot of back pains for years now.
She tried modern mecdicines and the pain keep coming back, we tried to find her a “true healer” but so far we haven’t found one.
Could you please refer her to your “true healer”. She is willing to travel.

Thank you so much

Although my personal experience with acupuncture has been limited, I've been impressed so far (most of my experience has been with therapies like Healing Touch). I enjoyed visiting your <a href="http://school.holisticjunction.com/blog/" rel="nofollow">Holistic Junction blog</a> and found the posts on acupuncture interesting. I'm sure, as with all therapies, the effectiveness of the treatment will have a lot to do with the skill of the practitioner. I understand that with acupuncture, as with chiropractic and other modalities, there are different ways of working. And of course finding a true "healer" is an added bonus. Good luck in finding a good acupuncturist in your area. I'd love to hear about your experience with that. Yes, in my experience working with energy pathways is quite powerful.

I'd personally like to find one locally who could address some of my own health problems. Your acupuncturist seems to be a true "healer." Thanks for sharing and please feel free to comment back.

If the healer has it too, they can't well assuage it. It is important to be concerned and helpful, but also not to communicate a sense of failure or frustration to the patient. The patient shouldn't feel they are a burden to a healer. This isn't always easy to do, but I do understand it is the goal. I think what you are getting at is anxiety, so much of illness involves it.

In trying to formulate an answer, I realize that I haven't completely defined this to myself. Thanks for the opportunity to think about this more deeply. I once went to a healer who was so intent on fixing me (in that instance a shoulder problem) that I could start to feel her frustration as she worked, trying this and that and wanting a report that everything was better. There was something about that that stayed with me. Sometimes things aren't ready to heal, or aren't going to heal, and I suppose what I want is some degree of equanimity in the healer -- a sense that whatever happens, things are basically "OK". So there is a kind of emotional attachment that I find counterproductive. On the other hand, I would want a healer to monitor the results that are achieved with their work and take measures to adjust and improve. The thing that is tricky is that ultimately the results are only partly due to the actions of the healer. The healer's work is only part of the whole equation of what makes healing happen. Also, an experience with one healer which doesn't "work", may nevertheless be an indispensable step in the progress of healing. Thanks for asking this question. It's giving me an opportunity to explore more and I'd be interested in your take on this. This is by no means my "final answer", but an exploration of this very complex subject.

I'm sure this isn't what it means, but it sounds curiously like the healer isn't supposed to care if anything they do works. Interesting post,
