Māori healing is not a passive skill that you learn and then forget about, or only practice as and when you feel called. It is an ara ohooho ~ pathway of awakening. A divine appointment and a call to up-level and heal your own wounds so that you are able to hold space for others.
As healers we have a deep responsibility to clear and protect our own fields and to unhook from any energy of judgment when we become aware of it. This does not mean we need to be seeking healing and education continually. If we hold our intention and awareness, the wairua, energies and universe will make us aware us about when it is time to heal, shift programming or learn new skills. This may come through in the form of persistent synchronicity, messages, or repeating challenges. While each person’s energy and body will share this sense of needing to shift patterning or programming, I usually find that if I feel a sense of bodily dissonance, or uncomfortability this indicates that there is a current belief does not align with my role as a healer and the flow of my life.
Unhooking these beliefs can be achieved through wananga ~ a higher space of learning, journalling, facing fears and old hurts, talking with trusted friends, or sharing time with other healers. The act of speaking and sharing own wounds and shame in safe spaces, enables us to hold this space for others to share their hurts, shame, sadness, dreams and desires in the hope that the alchemy of your shared time will shift some things in their life.
Finally, this does not only apply to healers who are working with the public, most people are healers for their own families, personal healing and communities just by the vibration they share.
As healers, our collective vision of the world will continue to expand, grow and educate us, if we are open to this.
