1. Every person has within them the ability to heal themselves to some degree.The Healer’s job is to help others bridge the gap between the wisdom of the Soul and the conscious mind and/or body.
2. The greatest healers are heart-centered. See Amma, the hugging Saint, or the Dalai Lama for examples. While confidence is important in a healer, watch very carefully those whose egos are making a lot of noise.
3. Healing Spaces are most effective when they invite full-bodied engagement. Our bodies are not an accident or meat suits in need of transcendence. They carry important intelligence & our senses are pathways to the deep presence needed for healing.
4. A conscious conversation with a friend has the ability to facilitate miracle healings in perception. And our perception colors the experience we have of our lives and the world.
5. Judgement blocks the flow of healing. Discernment & intelligent attention are extremely important, but judgement can throw a wrench in the healing process.
6. Healing Spaces don’t have to be serious to be affective. While tears, addressing deep issues, and sincere contemplation are often an important part of healing work – play, joyful expression& humor can do worlds of good in a healing space.
7. Healing Spaces don’t have to look like a pristine retreat center. A living room, a coffee shop, a backyard, a dance floor can be a sacred space if the intention is there.
8. As the facilitator, remember that you are not the source inspiration & guidance; You are the unique vessel through which the inspiration & guidance flows.
9. A true healing space evokes an altered state of consciousness. A place where you can see & feel things in a heightened way. The more you immerse yourself in Healing Spaces, the more you take that state of consciousness wherever you go.
10. Healing Spaces will often ask you to do the most brave thing: be vulnerable. Vulnerability is the key that unlocks the door to discovery, connection & creativity.
11. Healing Spaces need innovation too. Healing & Sacred Spaces have been a part of human life for a very long time. They have taken so many different forms at different times, in different places & cultures. Healing Spaces have been evolving with us. The more we allow this and innovate to help sacred spaces meet the needs of the time we are in, the more Healing Spaces will become a vital part of our modern lives.
