Here is some more information about why I wanted to become a healer. The first reason I became a healer was because my grandmother would tell me stories about healers in our family and what they used to do as healers. With more stories about past family members who were healers. I felt a pull toward that work. I wanted to heal people. But I could not just jump in and say hello world I am ready to heal you. No, it had to be done in steps.
The first step was to work on myself, which sometimes proved to be a difficult step. That step entailed a lot of work: rummaging through old programming and seeing if it was outdated and if it was it needed to be scrapped, meditating to focus and train the mind, and finally treating the body as a temple. Each of these parts would take some time to come together. The next step was to find out how to become initiated as a healer and that was not always a straight line, and it would take many years to gather the skills. The last piece was to gain experience in healing so that others would have stories to relate to before choosing me as their healer. Of course, there were many more steps than this and they continued to grow in amount and still do.
As I said in the last paragraph. I needed to gain experience as a healer. Well, that proved to be quite a task. I needed to find the skills and my first healing skills as you will find out at the end of my story on how I became a healer and how came from my inner journey. The only problem I had was that I was eleven and had no certificate to prove that I was a healer, or even that I had been taught healing skills. My first test subjects were my family. I would ask them if I could try healing them. So, for a while, I spent most of my time healing my family. I did this until I was experienced enough to work on others.
I also said that I thought I needed a certificate that gave me credibility as a healer. This certification would come years later. The first certificate I received was Reiki Level One, and then I took levels 2 through 3 and Reiki Master. This modality of healing was appealing and helped heal some of my childhood trauma. It would also help heal some of the leftover childhood programming, but it did not heal it all because the healing journey seems to be for life, sigh. . . I received the Reiki Master certification on 1 December 2013. Ever since I have practiced this modality diligently alongside the healing techniques that I received early through my inner journey.
During the first three months of the pandemic, I struggled with anxiety and panic. I had not practiced journeying for a while because life got busy with kids, school, and surviving, and self-care was more of a pipe dream at the time. Getting back into journeying was a bit difficult because, at this point, I needed to involve moving my body as well to help me focus. In the fourth month of the pandemic, my wife would find a Zoom certification class for Qigong. I jumped at the opportunity to fulfil one of my childhood dreams which was to train as a Qigong practitioner. I would take that up to level 4 teacher/ trainer. This was an internal art of energy cultivation, it is so much more than what could be described in this one sentence, I had read about when I was fifteen, and I remember daydreaming about becoming a Qigong practitioner. After level 4 with Mario Argento from Calgary Qigong, I got the opportunity to learn the Qigong set, Cosmos Qigong, from one of Wong Kiew Kit's students, Tim Franklin from Fully Alive. I have been enjoying the health benefits of both Qigong teachings for three years now and I am still practicing daily. My Anxiety has been far and fewer between and I have had fewer panic moments.
From the experience I have amassed and the continued learning through the practice of the healing arts, I would like to impress upon those for whom I have to privilege to conduct a healing session for, is to awaken the healer within them. I want them to leave their healing session feeling empowered and that they can continue their healing process at home.
And with consistency here is a painting to enjoy.
