"Ancient practices' poll
Do you refer to yourself as a "Healer" in your Wellness practice?
A- Yes, it fits my work
B- No, Im a guide / teacher
I hear many fellow teacher's refer to themselves as " Healers" and it got me thinking of my own role. I lead 8 classes a week (my part time job) across 4 very different poulations, and personally have never called myself a healer. I am simply a guide for ancient practices. I am not reinventing the wheel or providing the 'cure' I share parts of ancient practices that resonate with me that have been around for thousands of years. Each student does the healing, we just open the door. At the end of the day we want students feeling empowered by their own progress and find the teacher within themselves to be carried in daily life to feel ease and peace beyond the chaos and suffering and not be dependent on their guides as a "healer"
I practice independently and attend random classes when it suits my schedule, when I see "Healer" I don't attend those classes and probably have been missing out on fabulous classes, it is just the way I am wired at this time, we are all works in progress, no one is ahead of eachother, even if we are guides.
