My First Healing Session Experience

The first time I received a healing session from a healing practitioner, I was 18 years old. I remember being starry eyed and excited at the potential expansion that would take place.

However, that first experience did not go so well.

Thank goodness I had done enough inner work on myself to notice what was happening at the time.

The session began with the healing practitioner letting me know all of the things they 'sensed' and thought were 'wrong' with me. At this point, the only exchange we had was a "hello" and "I'm looking forward to receiving your support."

I knew I was in for a ride, and decided to stay to see what would unfold.

Then, the healing practitioner decided to upgrade a 'psychic reading' into our healing session, because they felt it was necessary. During this psychic reading, they shared quite a few fear-based timelines they saw for me. Again, thank goodness I knew better than to internalize these stories and believe them.

Finally, somehow the session ended up becoming about the healing practitioner needing and receiving support from me by having me offer them a listening ear and guidance (when they asked.)

What I learned from this first healing experience is that the most important thing in life is to know who we truly are, and come from a place of knowing that we are not or never have been broken.

The mind may try to create a story that chooses to identify with the belief that we are anything less than whole of beliefs, but this is just a story, it's not who we really are.

I also learned that whoever I had the honor of working with and supporting through my healing and mentoring sessions, that I would only work with them from a place of awareness that they are whole, eternal and powerful beings of love simply desiring their mind to re-member and feel into these qualities of themselves.

I learned that timelines can change at anytime we decide for them to, or decide to choose something different. I learned that we are the creator of our life, not anyone else.

I also promised myself that I would only do healing work, if I was able to come from a place of helping every client feel more inspired, expanded and connected to their core selves during every session.

I learned how to forgive, because I understood that sometimes people are on autopilot and in survival mode, and they just don't know any better.

Today marks the 15 year anniversary of that first session that I received.

The session gave me the desire to create something different, and ignited my inner flame to make sure others would not have to experience anything less than pristine and unconditional support during their healing and expansion process, at least under my watch.

Happy Anniversary dear 18 year old self. You did a great job that day not taking on any energies that were not yours, and I am so happy you chose your current life path to be one of service to humanity, rather than go into judgment and fear by not being open to receiving healing support again after that first not so great experience.

I have since connected with so many extraordinary and powerful healers who mirrored what I felt to be alignment with how to approach healing work.

For all of this, and for so much more, I am grateful.
