Guest guest Posted October 26, 2001 Report Share Posted October 26, 2001 Hi all, Apparently, I help (or heal) alot of people. Empathy, is wonderful for insight into others, and 'feeling' their inner pain is a gift, but one must protect ones self also, to not be 'sucked into that negative path. The halts, or 'brakes' have to be put on when you feel that --'getting bottled up' feeling. You must get away from it to re-fresh, --or you too are in trouble. I personally walked away from all that I have done in the past. EVERYTHING! It took courage. I was so overwhelmed, and I could not go forward without any 'dedicated' assistance from those who 'wanted' --what I had. Needless to say, --that is what I was trying to give them, and they could only 'accept' small bits at a time, thinking they had it all! --Interesting! SO, I gave it ALL away! Sold a few items. This satisfied the receivers, thinking they were 'getting what I had or have! It didn't work for them. They are now experiencing the 'VOID' that goes with not having spiritual or otherwise--coach. I do not work with them any longer, and they now experience the just norm! Healers must continually support their clients, to help them grow. No, not being co-dependent, but supportive. When that support stopr, so does ones growth, IF they are not on their OWN path. Many of those who seek healing are --co-dependent. They feel like someone took a crutch away from them. Perhaps the best thing they could experience for self growth! Sometimes, I have wanted to whoop them with their own crutches, but being 'kind' I direct them to their own strength, --over and over. It can be exhausting! I have taken a one year sabatical, to write, and get a website, workbook etc started. Then, I went to do a clinic over 500 miles away. I felt so bottled up, I felt I could burst! This stayed with me for the entire 4 days, plus one day travel, when I finally started to 'let down'. I have since slept many times through the day, and all night as well. I too am trying to figure out just why, and how I could do what all I did when I was practicing, with all the responsibility that I had. I don't know how I did it. It seems that I am getting back to normalcy, and healing of ones self. Learning, can be burdonsome. You want to do so much, and give more to 'watch' the healing in others. As a Christian, it has been like 'Carrying the Cross', --giving from the heart. Even Jesus had to go into the wilderness. I wonder how HE felt... The overflow is and has been immediately there, when helping others. Healers MUST take time for themselves, or the overflow decreases. Your own power is limited. Taking 'time off' is to re-charge ones self. Anyway, I will work differently from now on. I do NOT want as much responsibility. I now want MORE freedom! I do not really want to be locked down, in any way. I desire my spirit to flow in the gentle breezes of Spiritual saturation,--and continued growth, and understanding. I myself am ready for the next level of learning. Anyone else with similar comments? Solutions? Observations? Please comment.. Rose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 27, 2001 Report Share Posted October 27, 2001 Wishing you all the best on your inner journey, Rose. Im in the same place, taking time out (once again) to rejuvinate my tired and worn out spirit, I feel like I want less responsibility and more freedom, I saw myself like a bird with chipped wings, my spirit couldn't lift off. But, Im in a place now Im so glad to be in. I cant imagine I would have gone here willingly, it took my illnesses to get me here to realise what is important in my life. ME!!
