Self-Care as a Healer

The most important lesson I have learned as a healer or teacher is how to take care for myself. I have seen many healers and energy workers that tend to put everyone else needs first. Taking care of clients, business, family, friend and sometimes even strangers requires a lot of our time and energy and it can become exhausting. Healers are givers. We are here to try to support people and create a better world. Learning to balance that with our won self-care and needs is a lesson many of us have to learn. Self-Love and Self-Care is essential. Your own well-being, health, happiness are the base from which everything is created. A joyful soul, a fulfilled life, a thriving business, a healthy body, professional achievement and abundance are the foundation of our creations. 

THE ONE HEALER SHOW

If those areas get out of balance we feel less joyful, anxious, problems appear. Of course as a healer you are a small business and on top of the work with people and the spiritual work you are responsible for marketing, bookkeeping, management… 

So often its a one-healer show and there are many things to do. In the beginning I often felt only really joyful and peaceful while sharing my gifts, giving a sound baht, having a reiki session. I felt good while being in service to others but not truly to myself. Many other things stressed me even though I was living my dream-life! It still didn’t feel abundantly and joyful.

THE RIGHT SELF-CARE

It took me a while to understand the true meaning of self-love and self-care. It does not only mean to do yoga or meditation in the morning it includes my overall well-being, energy and body. My energy, thoughts, emotions, feelings, and physical wellbeing directly influence my work. My vibration my frequency are entrained with those of my business because I am what I do - I am my business. Especially as a sound healer we know the laws of resonance and coherence. I know all this but it is not enough I have to feel it I have to become it.

DAYS FULL OF JOY AND EASE

Starting to create routines and days where self-care and a feeling of joy are essential is a process. Once you find the magical ingredients your life shifts and becomes this endless story of miracles and awe. When I am taking care of myself everything flourishes. I have good days and bad days but I am practicing and I honor them. So creating this life, those days where I serve myself first most of the time is a beautiful journey of discovery. 

I am still fine tuning and every day I am different so there is no overall plan. Sometimes this means to work only two days a week and sometimes it means I am flying somewhere where the sun shines and I can bath in the ocean before working. And sometimes it just means doing a meditation in the morning and no sport, no yoga and then going for a coffee, and sometimes it means to get up at 4 and meditate for two hours, and sometimes I just play my bowls and sing with them. One parameter for myself is I want to wake up in the morning with joy and excitement for the day ahead and I want to go to bed excited about the day that is coming. If my life does not feel like this I know something is out of balance. I need more time for myself I need more care and loving kindness towards myself.

YOU ARE ON THE RIGHT PATH

Whenever I follow my heart and make choices based on my love for life and my self-love I can only succeed. I sometimes fail, I am wrong sometimes, but overall I can say I live in alignment with the essence of my soul, I follow my heart, the truth of my soul. You are creating the vibration of your life, of your work of everything around you. I am so grateful for this path and there are many more lessons to come.
