Becoming a Healer
Part 1: general questions & answers
These are Heart of Healing's
answers to FAQs about becoming a healer. You may want to read our webpage,
What is Healing? as well. There are
many kinds of healers who facilitate healing in many different ways. If
you are interested in becoming a healer, it will be worthwhile to explore what
you mean by "healing" and what sorts of healing interest you. Because we
specialize in energy therapy and spiritual healing, these answers are geared to
this type of healing. If you are mainly interested in the legalities of
energy healing as a profession, see Part 2.
What is a healer?
A healer is someone who
facilitates healing in another. No one heals anyone else. The healer
does not "do" the healing. "Nature" does the healing. The
mind-body-spirit has a natural, self-healing capacity. The healer simply
plays the role of a "catalyst".
Is a "special gift" required to
be a healer?
Healing is an extension
of a natural human capacity. Some people may access it more easily than
others, but everyone can develop this natural capacity. Not everyone,
however, has the same kinds of healing abilities. Some may be more
effective with physical ailments, some with psychological and emotional issues, while others
may help people with spiritual growth which plays a part in their healing.
There are many different forms that healing abilities take.
Can anyone become a healer?
Acting as a healer is
simply an extension of a natural human ability. When someone complains of
pain and we reach out to touch them, or when a child cries and we sweep them up
in our arms, we are exercising an automatic "healing response". By
exercising this natural ability, it can be developed further. In this
sense, yes, anyone can become a healer. It is important to note, however,
that what being a "healer" means can vary quite a bit from person to person --
the kinds of healing and results can be very different.
How can I develop my ability to
heal?
The most important way
to develop the ability to heal is to exercise it. Perhaps you've already
found that people feel better when you listen to them, or touch them, or pray
for them. Continuing to practice these skills enhances them. There
are also many different programs for learning. Some are for learning
self-healing and for working with friends and family, while others are geared to
those who want to do healing professionally. The first step is to identify
what kinds of skills you want to learn, and what kind of healing seems most
natural and suited to you.
How do I become a healer as a
profession?
If you've spent some
time developing and using your healing abilities, and want to begin to do it
professionally, there are a number of steps you need to take. First, you
need to decide if you are ready to start charging a fee, or do you feel you need
to develop your skills more or have more experience? If you feel you need
more training, you need to decide which kind of program suits you. (If you
are interested in energy healing specifically, see
Types of
Energy Healing for some insights into how programs differ.)
Acting in the capacity of a healer as a profession entails
learning a lot more than simply how to practice a healing modality. It involves
communicating what you do to others, defining and maintaining professional
boundaries, creating a place to do your work, learning the legalities applicable
to your practice on the Federal, state and local levels, and much more. If
you have not had previous experience as a professional service provider of some
sort (such as nurse, counselor, etc.), then you will probably need help with
developing a practice. Some programs will provide this as part of
their training, and in other cases you may need to find a mentor or another way
of gaining the necessary skills and knowledge for having a professional
practice.
