story time
so about 10 years ago when i was trying to validate what i was experiencing in my life i came across someone who was speaking what i was feeling. Sweet, i am not alone in my experiences. i followed her and watched every video, live stream, just was so engaged that she had what could help me level up myself. i literally bought in to the mini classes, up to the big purchase of taking the course that will catapult into the real me kind of thing.
i stayed there for 2 years. i learned so much , gained friendships, explored all the possibilities there are and more.
sometimes we have to take the leap of faith. i do not regret my past experiences with this instructor, because in reality they are a human living their truth. i saw something that did not align to mine and i parted ways. where to learn i was talked about, in a manner that i was still spiraling in my struggles. in that moment she showed me, where i was trusting myself.
with all i learned, the most important lesson that came from that was to stopping looking outside myself. Yes, i gained a different perspective from where i was. i regret up to realizing she was selling a dangling carrot that was never going to be released. she did not have all the answers, nor was the product she was sharing. it was always the same story of where she started, to gain new people, but the ones that were in her program for a while (my take) that story never changed. it never got passed the amount of money she made.... ( and for $$$$ you too can make this)
Yes, money was a huge part since at the time i was a stay at home mom, and i wanted to develop my passion of being a healer.
claimer: there are amazing practitioners out there helping others develop there skills. In reality its all marketing. you have a product, your the new big thing and mastered it.
being a healer, selling a peace and ease doesn't really feel good for me. i struggle with the sale part, because it not a product, its a way of life. As shown on social media i am supposed to show you how perfect my life is because i changed my ways??? Right?
reality check.. i am a healer! also i am a real person with real life situations. i struggle. i have gained tools to help with those struggles. i practice what i preach, i am might not look the part because there is this vision of what healers should look like. i have been compared to that. that is the part that creates a fury of anger.
healing is not a product to sale. their is an exchange between the healer and the seeker. money is energy, so are trades.
my anger i am learning to work through as i navigate my practice is where i started with it. my teacher showed me who not to be. as i strive to remove my self from the pack of lies that is being sold to those who see the shining light sprinkled with the so called love is just another veil over the eyes.
again there are amazing people who want to share what they believe to be of service for others. there is a line where the seeker needs to look inwards and ask what does this person have that i can learn from? or what is this person showing me? are they validating? is this real? is this practical in my life?
i know this piece sounds like its contradicting of the healer salesman...this is an awareness i wanted to share. As i write this i am creating a energy practitioner program. not to certify but engage in depth how to work with energy. i mention this as i am conflicted with all the lessons out there, and what makes a certification program legit besides a piece of paper? Definitely who you are learning from. then i as looked back from my instructor who were they really? we all have to start from somewhere. we also have our intuition and following that will guide our journey down the path that will get us to a greater part of ourselves.
if you feel a certification will serve your purpose for a greater good...cool. do it. if your looking to expand with other like minded individuals cool, join. but always keep in mind what feels good and light for YOU! Each and everyone has what they need within, sometimes someone can show us maybe what we couldn't see. just make sure you do not loose sight of you. i will leave a list of a few documentaries that at first it was great till it wasn't. this just shows how extreme some will go because they believe this person has something for them....
