The Healing Power of NO


My encouragement to a healer who can't say NO:

In my experience:

I learned NO, MINE, and BYE-BYE by the age of two 
- but I allowed myself to be socialized out of it.  

Yet, these are the energetic cornerstones of a well, whole, self-directed system: 
I must own these tools to be a well HEALER. 
Otherwise, soon I am a broken healer of no use to anyone, including myself 
... been there got the T-shirt! 

If I say NO, I make way for a bigger YES - for everyone involved. 
It helps me to TRUST Spirit, Self, Other, Life...

My compulsion to say Yes as a healer, 
tends to be a band-aid for my own experience of pain, brokenness and need, 
the 3 most likely suspects (some of the many HUGE temptations of a healer):

1) I want to focus on others healing instead of my own.

(But the secret is the more I face my self and allow myself to heal, 
the more I am a healing presence for others.)

2) I want them to love me and think I am great.

(But the secret is the more I am my real self, 
authentically shining and doing what is best for Me 
- the more I am authentically loved and appreciated by others... 
and they are inspired to live and love, and shine!)

3) I want to believe and/or I want them to believe I am SPECIAL: 
they Need ME - ha!

(But the secret is, their healing is between THEM and their bodies and Spirit... 
I am honored to assist when appropriate! 
They don't need Me, and it is beneficial for us both to keep that at the top of mind.)

What is your experience?
Peace and Grace to you on your unique journey
