Know Thyself
by Stefani Callihan MH

Great healers happen because they have healed themselves.

Healers have gifts but these need to be developed.
These gifts lie within the hearts of everyone.
You recognize these people because they have discovered what is called the true Self or the Spiritual Self. 
They are compassionate and understanding.
Deep within each of these great healers is a wish for peace, happiness, and freedom from everyday entanglements. The journey to becoming a great healer lies first in developing a sense of awareness of one's conceptions and perceptions, both at a conscious and unconscious level. This helps us access our individual sense of "I" that often limits us. We can find this "I" if we become more aware of what is occurring in our bodies, emotions, and mind or thoughts. This helps us become aware of our individual needs or any problems that might be connected to this level of ourselves. This may be a time of struggle and trial but it is very necessary. It requires determination and will power and a certain amount of spiritual discipline as well as stability and confidence in one's direction. This is best developed in a group of like-minded individuals.

At the same time, you begin to meditate on a regular daily basis. There are many forms of meditation and all have value. Mindfulness is one that makes a good beginning point. 

A third aspect of this beginning process is to consciously work on the development of spiritual unfloldment. This can be found in many books that tell you how to develop your spiritual aspect. You are looking for material that gives you a guide for living. An example of this would be:

"Live your life to the best of your abilities
and accept the lives of others."

How do we become great healers?
We work on ourselves,
learning to raise our vibrations,
learning to attune to the great healers
in the spirit world!!

One day at a time-
One minute at a time-
day after day after day-
minute after minute after minute!!!

It is a never-ending journey as the sky is the limit.
What a wonderful opportunity we have to take this journey.
