Are You A Secret Healer?
Check for tell-tale signs
Getting ready to be seen
Have you often felt a bit different somehow, as if you
didn't fit in?
Have you always been rather sensitive to changes in the
weather and news of global disasters?
Do you react strongly to bright lights, loud noises and
crowds?
Were you bullied or 'left-out' at school?
Do you instinctively not want to eat meat and have a sensitivity
to dairy products?
Do you sometimes find it hard to speak up for what you
believe or need?
Are you almost painfully aware of other people's reactions
and feelings?
Do you have a history of throat problems?
Well, I've just described the typical symptoms what I think of as a 'secret healer'.
I have met many clients with the above traits which all indicate a sensitive energy system. This is a very necessary qualification for a healer or energy worker, but not well-adapted to deal with the physical and energetic pollution we're now finding in our daily life. The more sensitive our system the more brutal we can find our urban age with all its technological advances, Media violence, GM and microwaved food, electrosmog and a 24/7 lifestyle divorced from Nature's seasons and cycles. If you do have a sensitive energy system which is easily disrupted then you're likely to show physical symptoms such as migraine, sleep disturbances, depression, irritability, mood swings, hormone imbalance and weight gain.
How Karmic Memory Affects Us
I decided on the title 'Karma Coach' because, after years of tracing
physical symptoms, emotional reactions and behavioural patterns,
they all find a source in our own memory bank. Whether we think
of it as past lives or ancestral memory is a matter of personal
choice, but my observations tell me that those of us with the
above symptoms carry strong memories of lives spent as healers
of some kind. Whether we were called herbalists, witches, shamans,
alchemists, wise-women, monk or hermit is not important - the
point is that the career prospects weren't great! Those lifetimes
usually ended painfully in front of a jeering mob and have left
us with strong unconscious fears of 'coming out' with our karmic
healing gifts.
Releasing Karmic Fear
We're often quite happy to develop a talent for music, art, sports
or languages inherited by just the same mechanism. However,
sculpting and lute-playing didn't generally carry the threat
of betrayal, torture and and the smell of burning flesh. So
competing for Young Musician of the Year often requires overcoming
less karmic fear than challenging the government's policy on
complementary therapies, with the drugs lobby in the role of
the Spanish Inquisition!
Pink Rose is the karmic essence for fear and one I often
give to clients ina healing session. It's quite easy to know
when this pattern is being released, as I feel freezing cold
and often see flashbacks of memories as they're released.
What are your healing gifts? Many of us who have come in with
strong healing memories are also being asked to use those
healing gifts now, as the planet is in great need of them.
If you haven't already found a way to do so and you're unsure
what arena you can express yours in, then look at what work
you've chosen to do. It's often a clue. Are you already working
in a 'caring profession' as a nurse, therapist or social worker?
Do you love gardening or cookery, which might indicate a history
of herbalism? Are you in the communications field as a writer,
film-maker, artist or actor? Then find a way to 'come out'
and integrate your gifts with the skills you've developed
in this lifetime. Nurses and therapists can give hands on
healing, gardeners can make flower essences, cooks can train
as nutritionists, actors can shape public-thinking with socially
significant roles, writers can awaken interest in holistic
approaches to healing and lifestyle.
Helpful Karma
This is where working with karma really helps you, as learning is easy because the memories come back as an intuitive knowing. A great deal will be clear to you without you needing to sit down and study until 3 a.m.
How Wallflower supports you
This is also where Wallflower essence in a remedy blend can be so
helpful. As we move closer to our 'old' profession, some of
these fears can surface, though we may experience them as stress
and put them down to the strain of retraining later in life
or financial concerns (which are very real considerations) but
often if we dig deeper, they are ways our emotional memory is
trying to stop us from repeating painful experiences. Our emotional
body doesn't operate under the illusion of linear time, so the
memory of persecution in the fourteenth century is as real now
as it was then; even if this time the role is taken by our over-critical
editor, boss, public or clients.
Wallflower essence asks us to 'stick our head above the
parapet'. The flamboyant and colourful flower radiates its
beauty and draws our attention. It allows us to be seen for
who we really are and to be comfortable with that. It puts
us back in touch with our inner rhythms, gives us poise and
confidence in social situations and when dealing with officialdom.
It resonates with the wound of the wounded healer infusing
us with the ability to express ourselves, which so often has
been an issue in the past when we had to keep our healing
knowledge secret. It allows us to be steadfast, feel inwardly
secure and release the pattern of feeling both hopeless and
homeless. We call people wallflowers for a reason - our language
often reflects ancient wisdom - 'wallflowers' feel socially
excluded, lacking in confidence and as if they don't fit in.
When do we need it?
This may be a pattern we are quite unaware of until we try and 'come out' with our healing gifts. We may normally be confident and comfortable in our work but this pattern comes up when we try and take the next big step into being 'seen'; maybe we have our first book published or we start a healing course or we qualify as a complementary therapist and it's the moment to start practicing for real. Interestingly on a physical level Wallflower essence helps our digestion, which is often the first thing to get upset when we feel anxious.
Exploring Further
If you're an intuitive person and you want to explore your traits from a past-life perspective, you could investigate the Cathars in Southern France. They ate no meat or dairy and were brutally massacred. If your issue is feeling excluded or not fitting in, it could be memories of being part of any number of religious minorities, although druids were especially fond of social exclusion as a form of punishment.
