7 SIGNS YOU ARE A HEALER
In so many ways, we are all Healers. It is the kindness in us that radiates healing. After a multi decade career in the healing arts, I can tell you for certain that I’ve met NYC cab drivers who are far more powerful Healers than many of those who call themselves guru this or shaman that. Yes, we are all Healers because we all have the capacity to love and Love is the great Healer.
However, though many want to work as a Healer, as there can be a low bar to entry and it can seem like a great and glamorous way to be adored, there are just a few who actually receive the invitation from the universe to work as a Healer.
How do we know if we’ve received the invitation?
It was a moment when you were called on to take selfless action, help another in need, create something, or say something, and though it could have been scary to, or felt like a great risk, a force inside of you stronger than fear made you hear that call.
We are in a time where those who have truly received that divine invitation are having the courage to send their RSVP. While I have dedicated my career to supporting Healers and use discernment on Apprentice of Original Essence applications as to weather or not my potential apprentice is truly a Healer, I feel it is the autonomous responsibility of us all to determine in integrity if we have received the invitation from the universe to work as a Healer.
These seven signs I’ve noticed through observation are the marks of a true Healer. If three or more of these signs resonate with you, consider that you may have at one point received the invitation!
You need the natural world and view life as sacred.
Healers feel best in the wild spirals of nature. While living in bustling metropolises can be tolerated and even appreciated, a Healer will begin to wilt if kept away from the stars, springs, and soil for too long. Nature is the true Healer. When you spend time in nature, it feels like you are with an elder teacher and guide. When observing nature you notice that nature can heal but also destroy. You know that same destructiveness is in you which leads you to handle what is living with tenderness, seeing the sacred in even the tiniest lives.
2. You have experienced immense grief or had a tumultuous early life that required you to develop your intuition.
Healers are called to handle life with tenderness, often because they have witnessed the darkest shadows of humanity first hand. This is particularly true for Healers who have a strong intuitive, even psychic energy. Great tragedy and suffering has a way of waking us up.
3. You have strong vivid dreams that guide you.
Especially around full moons and significant dates on the wheel of the year, Healers have a tendency to, without doing anything to force these dreams, have strong, somewhat prophetic dreams. The rampant use of technology and mind altering substances greatly reduces our ability to dream. If we can’t dream, we also have a hard time thinking for ourselves because dreams can bring great inspiration. Healers tend to have a strong inner compass created from compassion, dreams, and patience with their own healing process.
4. You feel reluctant to come forward as a Healer.
To be a Healer is a great honor that requires dedication and endurance. At times the work feels arduous and thankless. But there are two real reasons why it can feel scary for Healers to step into the light and be seen. One is the fear of causing harm. The other is the fear of persecution. Both of these reasons make it important for an emerging Healer to be guided by a more experienced one in some form of apprenticeship or mentorship.
5. People and animals are drawn to you like a bee to a flower.
Life is attracted to light. While a Healer is often the wind beneath others’ wings, it cannot be denied that people of all ages and animals feel really good around Healers because they can feel the kindness radiating from you and feel good around you.
6. You are the first person people call on when they are at a crossroads in life.
People go to you when they are genuinely in need of guidance. You are a resource of honesty and wisdom for others because of the admirable way you live your life. Folks rarely ask you how you are doing and rarely see how hard you have worked for everything you have but these are things you have learned to accept early on in life.
7. You are incredibly sensitive and value freedom.
A sacred rebel, you don’t follow rules well. This is often because you are very sensitive to the intention behind what others are saying and doing. You can see the cages folks build for themselves and want to set them free. At times it feels as if you have wings and simply need to soar.
If these signs resonate with you, remember, working as a Healer doesn’t need to look any one way. How your healing energy wants to be expressed is malleable and can range from being a performer, to one-on-one sessions, to creating a nourishing restaurant. Whatever your current occupation may be, you can start working as a Healer today just by sharing a bit of kindness.
