Wow, I didn't realize it has been almost two weeks since my last post.
Ah well.
Anyway, it seems to me that I often do not know when it is a right time to heal someone. I am, after all, a healer at heart. And I am usually able to heal people of their worries and pains.
Before Reiki, I would use my own energy to heal or soothe those who needed it. Now I can use Reiki as well as my own abilities to listen and soothe.
The problem I have found is that I can only heal those who want to be healed. Some people have actively "fought" or "shielded" themselves from any sort of healing.
The real issue is that those who are self-destructive don't want the sort of healing that I can give. They often "fear" that if I heal them they will lose a part of themselves, even if that part is bad for them. It is as if the destructive cycle they are in doesn't want to be broken because it is comfortable, even loved, because that is how they "are". And any potential change or "help" that would break that cycle brings the automatic response as if it were an "attack".
Now, I am the kind of person that likes to help those I care about and it saddens me that I can't help those people I care about that are in destructive cycles.
But I can only be available to them when they finally, if ever, realize that I can be a source of positive influence in their lives.
So, here I am, ready to heal those who want it. :)
Let me in and it will be a good thing for us both.

there are also folks who don't want to be healed for other reasons.
much like you wouldn't want a priest you knew to come up and randomly baptise you. the priest would be positive that he was healing your soul, you would have been religously fondled.
i personaly don't like 'to be healed' for 2 main reasons:
1) i don't believe in it so i think is kinda creepy
2) if i need healing it is my responsibility to take care of myself. (or a doctor in some instances, like broken bones). if healing of the sort you are speaking of works, then the act of healing me you rob me of my own personal growth. the obstacals of the mind are there for reasons, and your own personal growth can only truely come from facing these demons on your own. healing without facing them on your own would leave you spiritualy stunted.
but i don't think that's what your talking about, and no one can gain healing unless they want it for themselves.
blah, blah
Some interesting points. But I don't think being healed is passive experience, where the healer bestows a state of healing upon the healed.
I think the attraction of being a healer comes in the tremendous energy exchanges involved in healing.
But you are absolutely correct, folks don't heal until they want to.
Yes, I agree with JWL: Healing is NOT a passive process. And herein lies the rub.
I must question: What do you mean by "healing"? Because you almost come off as touting a "better-than-thou" attitude, like you have all the answers. I mean, I know you and so I totally get your intentions, but do others?
I really appreciated dehuman8's example of a priest coming up to you and baptizing you because there -are- some priests out there who think that they know better than -you- do about what you need.
Questions to ponder: Why do you feel the need to heal others? Why is healing others beneficial to you? Who heals -you-? What do you do in situations where others don't want the healing you have on tap? How do you reconcile that?
