The biggest problem I find with most new age healers is the lack of humility, self-awareness, and self-care. They learn a modality or two, begin treating people, have success (because modalities work on their own) and soon begin to drop their own self-care practices, begin to view clients out of ego-space instead of heart-space, and forget they are humans too, with still unhealed parts that need acknowledgment and tending, no matter how many modalities, certificates or courses they may accumulate.
For my clients who are working in the healing professions, I do my best to have them understand that each client who comes to see them for help are actually also showing up to help them heal an unseen part of themselves. Some clients don't like to know that; they don't want to see the parts of themselves in their clients that they are working to heal. I work with my clients to have them understand this isn't a terrible thing, working on people who bring you your hidden parts to heal. Two for one deal, really. You help them, and if you're paying attention, you help yourself too.
The core problem, I think, is that we're taught early on in this Western world that some feelings are good and some feelings are bad. We're taught that being pleasing to others is a requirement. This outside validation requirement + right-emotions-only cripples a powerful, in-built (innate) body system; imagine willfully shutting down the use of half of your body, letting it atrophy and just dangle off of you. This is how we're taught to be a good human.
This is nuts.
Like the cheat sheet says, all feelings are holy. All feelings arrive as early messengers from the highly vibrant field of potential. If we only open our door to half of the messengers, leaving the others to pile up outside, you know what happens: the ones outside will eventually knock the house down.
All feelings are holy. All feelings arrive as early messengers from the field of potential. If you begin to open your door, and just let them in, these messengers can tell you important things. The innate body system that is the emotional body system is not like the cardiovascular system, or the skeletal system, or the mental body system: it's not a structural system that supports and provides core information. Rather, it is the direct waking world interface with non-reality. It notifies, engages, manifests and relays information in a dialogue between waking world you (where you are now) and the field of potential you (where you are when you are asleep sometimes, or where you are when you are in flow state). The emotional body system's ability to traverse two realities simultaneously is where the magic not only happens, but is bred, born and brewed.
Imagine if you were taught how to use this system properly as a child, instead of learning how to be pleasing to others, and categorizing right emotions from wrong ones.
But it's not too late. Start with letting the messengers in through the front door. Feel free to talk with them as they arrive. Feel even more free to voice "this isn't my most favorite message to hear, so what can I do to limit the amount you show up?". Feel even more free to chance strolling through the door yourself, leaving your house, walking down the path towards where the messengers emerge from. Feel safe and secure as you enter their place of emergence, and see the you from the field of potential, the one who squished you into a weird meat bag to learn. Have a chat; take home some magic. See what you can do when you really start drinking from the field of potential.
And bring this to your clinic work. Bring this to your whole life. Self-care = the way to keep the path free. Self-awareness = the way to be truthful and clear. Humility = the way to understanding and clarity. All clients as your own unhealed parts to heal = holy opportunities. All feelings as holy = supreme. There's no better cheat sheet than this.
