Do you wish to become a healer? Punya Srivastava learns about the various challenges healers face in their journey, and how they overcome them
The advent of the New Age has introduced to the world a new category of influencers called ‘healers’—human beings who come forward to help people return to their centre, who understand the dynamics of body-mind spirit wellness and restore the flow of divine energy into people’s lives. For, didn’t the Dalai Lama once say, “The planet does not need more successful people. The planet desperately needs more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers, and lovers of all kinds.”
More and more are getting drawn towards this profession, as the demand for healing surges across the globe. But what does it take to be a true healer? As an integral part of Life Positive, I have had the good fortune of attending innumerable workshops on an array of healing modalities over the past few years. I have met and interviewed various renowned healers and in the last two years have myself dabbled in basic levels of Pranic Healing. And although the calling seems most hallowed and desirable in the current times, I realised that it has its own inherent rules and guidelines upon which it functions. So, before you think life will be all sunshine and roses simply because you are doing noble work, here, below, is a primer on a healer’s journey.
