Embarking on a spiritual journey is a noble pursuit, one that deserves respect and encouragement. Whether you're drawn to healing, coaching, or teaching, these paths offer profound opportunities for growth and connection. However, before diving into these roles, there's a crucial step often overlooked: becoming truly aligned with oneself and addressing personal issues and insecurities.
Throughout my own journey, I've had the privilege of encountering remarkable individuals who exude a palpable sense of positivity and authenticity. These spiritual guides, healers, and mentors radiate a genuine energy that uplifts those around them. Their dedication to their craft is evident, rooted in a sincere desire to assist others on their paths to enlightenment.
Yet, it's impossible to ignore the other side of the coin. In the realm of spirituality, as in any field, there are those who prioritise profit over authenticity. They may present themselves as healers or teachers, but their motivations are tainted by financial gain rather than genuine care for their clients.
Now, I don't begrudge anyone the need to earn a living. Charging a fee for services rendered is not only reasonable but often necessary. However, the question that begs to be asked is this: Have you done the internal work necessary to offer your clients the best possible support? My sentiment on healing, guiding and advising is powerful and resonates deeply with the essence of a true spiritual practice.
Authenticity is paramount in the realm of spiritual healing, coaching, and teaching. It's disheartening to encounter practitioners who are not fully aligned with themselves, offering services without addressing their own issues and insecurities. Such practitioners risk diluting the integrity of the spiritual journey for both themselves and their clients.
I've had conversations with healers, coaches, and teachers who admitted to feeling uncertain about the effectiveness of their sessions. Some even follow up with clients to inquire if the healing was satisfactory. This lack of confidence reflects an underlying truth: without inner alignment and self-assurance, the healing offered is inherently flawed.
When I reflect on my own journey, I recall a time when I, too, grappled with insecurity and self-doubt in my role as a healer. It became evident that until I addressed my own wounds and prioritised self-love and acceptance, my ability to facilitate genuine healing was compromised.
True spirituality transcends rituals and techniques such as Yoga, tai chi, and others; it begins with love—love for oneself and love for others. It's about embodying a state of inner harmony and radiating that love outward to those we encounter. Only when we have cultivated a deep sense of self-love can we authentically guide others on their paths to healing and enlightenment?
Spiritual practice is not about accumulating knowledge or mastering techniques; it's about embodying love and compassion in all interactions. It's about recognising our energy, whether positive or negative. If this energy is negative, think about the profound impact on those we seek to serve. Therefore, it's essential that we embark on our spiritual journeys from a place of wholeness and authenticity.
In a world grappling with myriad challenges, the need for healers has never been more pronounced. Yet, before extending a healing hand to others, it's imperative to embark on a journey of self-discovery and inner transformation.
The current state of the world is fraught with turmoil, uncertainty, and pain. In such times, the role of healers becomes increasingly vital. However, the true efficacy of our healing efforts can only be realised once we've done the inner work ourselves.
Self-work is not merely a prerequisite; it's the foundation upon which genuine healing is built. When we commit to our own healing journey, we gain profound insights into the human experience. We confront our shadows, embrace our vulnerabilities, and cultivate a deep sense of empathy and compassion.
It's through this process of self-discovery that we unlock our true potential as healers. Our wounds become the wellspring from which empathy flows, and our struggles become the source of wisdom that guides others on their paths to healing.
Therefore, while the world undoubtedly needs more healers, the journey begins within. By doing the necessary inner work, we not only heal ourselves but also become beacons of light and hope in a world that sorely needs it. Let us embark on this sacred journey of self-discovery, knowing that in our healing lies the potential to transform not only ourselves but also the world around us.
So, to all practitioners on the spiritual path, I urge you to prioritise self-love and inner alignment above all else. By doing so, you not only honour yourself but also uphold the integrity of the sacred work you offer to the world.
In Love, Light and Blessings.

I read what you wrote and it made me reconsider my life and see if I love myself now. Before I can love someone else, I have to reconsider.
