A Good Healer?

Health library / A Good Healer?

The best healers are those who healed themselves.

I strongly disagree with that statement. Such people are often the worst healers (in my opinion). Understanding this will help you avoid mistakes on your road to wellness.

1

Personal Experience Means Nothing

As a knowledge base, our personal experience means nothing. Zero. I include myself in this statement. The experience of one creature has zero significance when compared to the billions of creatures that we can learn from.

Personal experience might be good marketing, but it is irrelevant compared to the vast body of scientific knowledge, anecdotal evidence of the masses, and intuition.

2

Personal Experience Creates Huge Bias

Personal experience tricks the individual healer into thinking they have special knowledge. They don't. They simply discovered something that worked for them – as a unique individual in a unique circumstance at a unique moment in time.

There is a good chance they cannot even heal themselves a 2nd time. A shaman did not become a shaman because he healed himself, but because he learned to tap into the wisdom of his ancestors, nature, and his own intuition.

3

It Creates a God Complex

Putting inordinate weight into personal experience tends to create a god complex, and that is dangerous for everyone.

Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men.

— Lord Acton

This is exactly why we have endless gurus emerging every day that hurt more people than they heal. Those 'gurus' are not healers at all, but are just businessmen (or women) seeking fame, fortune, or both.

The great shamans, doctors, and other healers of the world are not great because of their personal experience. They are great because of empathy , intent , intuition , and because if they did have personal experience… they learned from it without becoming arrogant.

Certainly experience is helpful, but in truth, the only true knowledge is within… which means intuition is your most powerful tool of all.

Learn to tap into your intuition, and then you will know for yourself if a healer is right for you 😉
