The Hero's Journey for Healers

"Your work is to facilitate personal growth by helping others figure out who they are, why they are having a hard time, how they've gotten to where they are, and then assist them in discovering ways they can help themselves." ~Ronelle Coburn

The Hero's Journey for Healers

On the hero’s journey for healers, the first step is to accept the call to be a healer. The next step is to begin the process of removing whatever is in your way on the path, which includes healing your own issues and developing a deep and trusting relationship with yourself and your guides.

You use a process of self-discovery to identify & heal your own wounds, so you will be available to help others heal their own.

This process also involves increasing self-awareness and a willingness to unearth your own truth which includes both "the ways in which you were hurt & the ways you have chosen to protect yourself, but which later block your ability to relate to yourself & others" (Coburn) and also includes your deepest soul gifts and abilities.

Where Are You on the Path?

As a healer, does this resonate with you?

If living your purpose fully as a healer can be described as a series of steps or a journey, where are you in the process?

What it Means to Be a Healer ~ Doreen Virtue

I believe I mentioned last week that according to Doreen Virtue, those of us who are Earth Angels got our first "assignments" early by being given to our dysfunctional, wounded or hurting families.

And I love her assertion that no matter what happened in our families, whether they ever got it together or not, that "first assignment" was a success because we brought life and love and light into whatever darkness was present. Beautiful!

But I also want to share what she means when she says "healer" or "lightworker" or "Earth Angel"...

"Do you feel different from other people, as if you were dropped off on this planet and wonder when someone's coming to take you home? If so, then you may be an Earth Angel, which is another term for 'lightworker,' ...or one of the other words used to describe a person who incarnated for the express purpose of helping the world be a better place. All of the lives you've previously lived have impacted you. And just as your physical family-of-origin influences you, so does your soul's family-of-origin shape your looks, behavior, and even your life purpose." ~Doreen Virtue

What it Means to Be a Healer

Some wisdom about what it means to be a healer settled in for me last month. See if it resonates for you...

It's not the Outcome

It's about, for me, not focusing on the outcome when I help heal or when I offer love. My purpose is to throw healing at it, to throw magic at it, to love it, and if I have done that, I have not failed, no matter what the outcome.

It's about Love

Similarly, I can love and love and love people, and they may be totally unable to love me back in any kind of appropriate way. But I have still done my part, even if they are as chaotic as ever. I can even remove myself from the chaos, or gently let go of the connecting cord, and still not have failed because the giving of love was the thing, not the outcome.

How does that feel? Can you relate?

Bear Medicine & Being a Healer

Welcome to February!!

As we saw yesterday, spring is coming, but it's not quite here yet. I want to set the stage for what I will be focusing on here this month. Picture a blazing fire, a comfy blanket, fuzzy socks on your feet, a good book to read, your journal and a yummy cup of tea.

Bear Medicine

"Winter is a season of purpose – as are all seasons. Winter’s medicine is about rest, recovery, and going within. When we rest enough during winter, we have the energy we need to sustain us for the remainder of the year. In native traditions, this concept is known as Bear Medicine. Can we learn from bear and hibernate sufficiently to restore ourselves ahead of the busy, waking seasons? If you haven't rested enough, take the next few weeks to honor the cycle." –Sage Goddess 

Have you rested enough this season, so far? I haven't but I think I have done better than I usually do.

Given that you might have some catching up to do where rest is concerned, are you ready to commit to a month of last-minute hibernation? 

What might that mean for you?

(1) Adding an extra hour of sleep each night

(2) Taking a nap each day

(3) Spending weekends at home with less on the agenda

(4) Putting off important projects until the spring thaw occurs

(5) Whatever you thought of in response to this question.

Being a Healer

This month is a great time for introspection, too, while sipping tea by the fire. I want to take some time to explore what it means to be a healer.

Because you guys, the healers and lightworkers, are my tribe. My beloveds. And it is such an honor to serve you, to help you heal so that you can be a clearer vessel for healing others.

But what does it mean to be a healer?

I created a survey almost a month ago and many of you told me that you think you have been called to be a healer, but (1) you're not completely sure or (2) you sometimes doubt it and you're not really sure what it all means for you or where to start.

So here we go this month. Stay tuned! :)

Do You See YOUR Shadow?

I love Barbara Biziou's take on Groundhog Day and thought I'd share it with you...

"For me personally this is a time to STOP and see what is out of balance. It is a time of looking inward at my own shadow (rather than the groundhog) and seeing what course corrections I choose to make." ~Barbara Biziou, The Real Meaning of Groundhog Day

Intention Ritual for 2015

Setting Intentions for 2015

I believe in setting intentions instead of resolutions, and I use intuitive guidance to help me choose intentions for the year that both help me grow and stretch but also are best for me at the time. No point in setting myself up for disappointment!

So if you would like to re-dedicate yourself to this year's intentions, or create new ones, here's a ritual you can use. Do it every month, on the new moon, if you'd like.

Intention Ritual

Light a candle.

Offer up a blessing for the year to come.

Create some magic & marry it to your intentions.

Imagine everything you want to create, feel and experience.

Say “thank you” in advance.

Offer up trust that somehow, it will come to pass, and resolve not to worry about the “how.”

Decide what you will think about, instead, when you are tempted to worry.

Blow out the candle.

Letting Go of the Old Story & Welcoming the New

Don't Just Let it Go ~ Bury it!

What have you found hard to let go of even thought you know the time has come?

Brief "letting go" ritual: hold danburite while focusing on the difficult thing and imagine it right in front of you, larger than life, taking up space. Then gradually, getting both smaller and farther away, until you don't see it anymore or feel its energy.

Take a deep breath and try mentally saying “goodbye and thank you.” If you can't bring yourself to say it yet, repeat this ritual once a day until you can.

What Story Do You Want Your Life to Tell this Year?

What will that look like?

What will that feel like?

Or, start with feelings, as Danielle LaPorte would suggest. What do you want to feel and what would create that feeling? What's the simplest and easiest way to create it this year?

Spend some time imagining it and then commit to bringing it to life.

Which Tarot Card Would You Choose?

How about some inspiration for fully embodying your purpose this year? Could you use some support with that today?

Choose Your Own Tarot Card

 

"Deliberately choosing a card means that you turn the cards Face-Up and choose a card on purpose. Pick one whose energy you would like to embody." ~Amethyst Mahoney

Perhaps you'd like to choose a Major Arcana card, one that suggests the energy you want to embody or the way you want to walk in the world this year. Or you might choose one of the Minor Arcana cards to represent the essence you want to live into or the "you" you want to become more fully this year.

My Choice Today

One thing I want to do this year is release any fears that are holding me back from being who I came here to be, and for me that includes really trusting my intuition, so the Moon card is a perfect choice for me right now.

Which one will you choose?

Honoring the Best of 2014

(photo credit: peakcandles.com)

Wait!

Before we can fully embrace the new year and begin to look forward to all it might bring us, it helps to clear the deck by celebrating what the last year brought and hangiong on for one more squeeze to what we haven't fully released yet. 

Gratitude is so powerful! Mixing in a little of its energy as we look back at the year we've just lost will help to propel us forward into the new one. But speaking of what we've lost, our grief is also often far more powerful than we realize. Maybe there is something that you struggled to let go of during the past year?

Let's take these questions one by one...

Reflect on This

(1) What did 2014 give to you that you never want to forget? 

I learned that I can create happy moments even when all hell seems to be breaking loose outside my window (or, in the news). Or even when the stress hits a little closer to home. During the summer, I did an experiment to see what would happen if I deliberately filled my day with the little things that make me happy. The results were amazing!

What do you need to honor a bit more before you let it go completely? 

I thought of several things in answer to this question. I want to take a little time to honor and remember Robin Williams. How is it that we lost him? Couldn't something have been done? I suppose I am still grieving about it.

Much closer to home is my final goodbye to my marriage. It was over years ago but was finalized this past year and although it didn't work out, I want to honor what it gave me. I remember that during the happy years, I believed in myself and found it easier to connect in loving ways to other people than I had before. Being loved is a powerful thing, isn't it?

What about you? How would you answer those questions?

Want a tip for releasing something still painful from last year? Light a tealight candle, and write down the loss in a piece of paper that will rest beneath it as it burns (never leave a burning candle unattended). When it has burned itself out, you can end the ritual and say thanks for the healing you created.

Happy New Year! Welcome to 2015...

HAPPY NEW YEAR! :)

Isn't it exciting? We've just been given a whole new year to create. What will you do with yours?

I want mine to be filled with enchantment, and healing and transformation, both for me and for my beloved clients. I'm wishing the same for you readers, too!

I know that many people confine their wish-making for the new year to those few days, or even the night before the new year begins. But there's no need to rush.

Let's be kind of leisurely about it this year. I'm planning to take the whole month and thought you might want to come along.

Meet me back here each week with a comforting cup of tea, a scented candle, your journal and a pen and let's dream up a wonderful year!

Love to you!

Jeanine
