Your Role in the Healing Process

Healing can only take place with your participation on multiple levels. You can have open heart surgery performed by the most experienced surgeon on the planet, but it is still you - your body, your life force - that eventually closes the wounds and integrates all the surgeon's work into a functional whole. Each one of us is our own healer.

We, in fact, are slightly dissatisfied with the term "healer". We use it because it has come into such common use that it would be confusing to re-invent our own terminology, but we disclaim any implication that one can heal another person outside of a partnership in the process with that person. Healing is about empowerment. We would prefer "healing advocate" or even "healing coach". We cannot over-emphasize the importance of you taking control of your own power to heal yourself. The "energy" in energy healing is your energy!

That being said, we do understand that our modern culture doesn't necessarily give most people the ideal environment nor the training to do this work entirely on our own. We have been grateful for the assistance of many others along our own healing paths. We have had teachers, healers, mentors and coaches each bring into our awareness some vital clue that helps us to release something - a mistaken belief, a fear or a wound - that has blocked us from reconciling our pain and discomfort and moving past it. We hope to be able to help you overcome your own barriers, but the first step in the healing process is to understand that it is your process that we are supporting, and that ti will work best when you step into that role of healing yourself!
