Searching-Alternatives Vision Statement

[Guest guest]

Welcome to Searching-Alternatives!

 

After developing Searching-Alternatives for several months, I began

to see how a new and revolutionary site could be birthed. Normally,

when one asks for help concerning their health (or that of a loved

one) they are confronted by a multitude of self-vested entities all

wanting to promote their own product or service. As I see it, the

calling to help others in alleviating their pain and misery is among

the highest of noble callings. But as I watched so-called healers

jump in and try to cultivate clients but without first offering any

sort of real assistance to those suffering other than: " buy my

product or service " , I understood how so many other site owners, out

of sheer frustration I am sure, decided to ban all commercial

content completely- plain and simple- no advertising what-so-ever.

But to me, that seems a little too restrictive, and I believe

engenders a stifled atmosphere.

 

Instead I envisioned a haven for professionals and lay people alike

to come together to learn and explore the vast territory that is

termed " alternative health " . And how else does one learn, other

than through the doing? So I wanted to create a space where again,

professional and lay person alike, can come together to offer and

seek help, but in such a way as to benefit all. In creating this

dynamic, I have realized it is remarkably difficult to shift

peoples' thinking from self-promotion and how is this going to

benefit me thinking, to offering information for the sake of

information, to heal for the sake of healing, and then allowing

whoever is interested to seek that particular person out for private

consultation, etc. Because of this I must ask all formats that

automatically create this self-vested mentality such as MLM or other

get-rich-products, be excluded from all discussions and postings.

Likewise, no direct self advertisement for services or products is

allowed.

 

What I would ask each person to consider is this: what information

can I share that will help the group, what knowledge can I impart

that might make this person's suffering less, how can I help- even

if the time, energy, advice, etc., that I give never, ever benefits

me? Give of yourself and then in your by-line please put your

contact information such as email address and/or website, and trust

that those that need you will find you- whether directly from this

site, or through the abundant bounty of creation.

 

I do believe healing the suffering of others is a sacred calling,

and I do believe this true, altruistic, spirit in healing exists,

and most importantly I believe together we can create a space for it

to flow…

 

Thank you for joining us in this wonderfully, exciting journey into

health & well-being.

 

Be Well,
