Myth busting about energy healers
This will probably ruffle some feathers, but I have to be honest: an energy healer doesn't have a magic wand - no one has the power to heal you!
It is very important for me to make it clear because I don't want anyone to give their personal power away to me. It's a team work!
I've been doing energy healing sessions since 2009. Working with energies is a passion, something that comes naturally to me. If you'd like to have a chat with me about how energy work could help you improve your life, you can send me an email or book your free clarity call:) I'd love to connect!
Deciding to heal yourself is the first step
When you decide to have a healing session with an energy healer (some also call it "pranic healer"), you'll need to decide it's a new beginning, because it is!
There is no "quick fix forever", no energy healer has a magic wand...
However, an energy healing session is an accelerated way to shift the energy and raise your vibration instantly to that you can make the changes you wish to see in your life.
Side note: if you ever come across someone who tells you they can heal you, please run away because no one else but yourself can heal yourself - you can get help, someone can accompany you and trust me, it is really powerful and shifts do happen fast - but no one can do it for you.
What is an energy healer
An energy healer is someone who uses energy as a catalyst, aka a facilitator of your own healing.
It is someone who contributes to launching a process within you, that is to say your own self-healing abilities.
A healer / facilitator is also here to bring you a different perspective on what you are facing as well as relief at the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels.
By seeing the unseen or tapping into the subconscious cause of imbalances and pains, a healer can help you become aware of limiting beliefs, subconscious fears and patterns that you have been holding within you and that don't serve you anymore so that you can let go of them and open doors to new opportunities, release pains (physical pain, but also emotional, mental and spiritual pains).
I don't really like to use the term "healer" but I prefer "healing catalyst" or "healing facilitator" or "shamanic practitioner".
Side note: Reiki healing is one type of energy healing among others. I don't practice Reiki anymore, you can read more info about why in this article
Shamanism is also a form of energy healing that goes deep.
It's a team work
You will always hear me say this! Even when one of my lovely clients sends me a message to thank me for the amazing results they're seeing, I always make sure to tell them "it's a team work, thank yourself too, you chose yourself and it was my honor to assist you" - or something similar :)
Awesome things happen when you and I combine our efforts and energies in helping you achieve your desired results.
But as I also always say, I don't have a magic wand, you also need to do your part.
Let's use an analogy: if you're on a diet and decide to run 10km to lose weight and you treat yourself with some junk food as a reward for your hard work... it's counterproductive, right?
It's exactly the same with a healing session: if you go back to your old habits, you'll be facing your old patterns.
You always need to be involved in your own healing process, you owe it to yourself, you are the master of your destiny, I'm here as a way-shower and catalyst.
How to recognize a true healer (or coach)
As I mentioned above, only you can heal yourself, healers are catalysts, they're hear to guide you back to yourself and help you unlock your own abilities - whether it is a session in person or done remotely.
No one else than you can heal yourself, you are playing an active role in your own healing whole I work on and with you.
My goal is to empower you and make you remember who you are.
4 things a true healer aka healing facilitator, will always do
(side note, this can also apply to a coach, or psychics, astrologers...)
1) Lead your back to yourself so you can remember your inner gifts and abilities as well as guide you to find the answers that are within you
2) Empower you! A legit facilitator or coach will never seek to make you dependent on them! When I offer unlimited support in my bundles or programs, it is NOT to make you dependent on me. On the contrary, it is to help you deal with what comes up, teach you how to become the observer and to know yourself better so that when our work together is over, you know how to be there for yourself.
3) Walk the talk (and not just talk about it) I have seen several healers in the past wanting to have people around them in a co-dependent way, acting like they want to be "admired" or to feel important (you know, that "guru vibe", that "I know everything and what I say is always right" type of vibe? *cringes*).
I saw it with my own two eyes and experienced with a local Reiki Master who had a bunch of women around him who were literally seeing him as a God and as a savior. I ran away when I saw his true nature... When a client decides to work with me, I want it to be because it is bringing them closer to where they want to be, closer to themselves and to their dream results and goals! Because they choose to - not because I want them to depend on me or to be manipulated to do so. This is something I can't stand when I see it happen! When you teach a baby how to walk, you hold their hand until they can walk by themselves, right? And if they fall you go and help them back up on their feet... Well, this analogy is how I see spiritual work and how I see myself as a shaman. I'm a bridge to help you go from where you are to where you want to be (and also back to yourself!). A true healer/coach/mentor/guru will always empower you and encourage your to trust yourself. The only person you need to "depend" on is yourself. Please stay mindful of who you work with and to whom you grant access to your energy. 4) Always respect you and where you're at on your journey. A true facilitator will NEVER force you to talk about something you're not ready to talk about and will never make you feel like your healing or self-improvement depends on your collaboration with them and them only
I want to share some personal story on this very topic in case it could help you, because I went through that before and it created a trauma on top of the initial trauma - NO ONE deserves that!
Feeling forced to talk about something - story time as a client & my experience as a facilitator
1) My story as a client : "The day I was forced to talk about a trauma (what a true healer would never do)"
Back in early 2014, I was still a Reiki student, my business wasn't open yet.
A Reiki Master I had an in-person session with showed a big sign of unprofessionalism (he was not my teacher, just someone I had heard of and was referred to, I was curious to try a session with him).
After a healing session, I was releasing stuck emotions related to a specific trauma, I was crying. I was vulnerable and I just needed someone to hold space for me while I was processing heavy stuffs. I didn't need to talk, I just needed to evacuate and be in the present moment, I needed reassurance.
But instead of that, I could feel he was looking at me, wanting to know what was going on. I felt his ego energy being purely nosy and trying to establish "authority".
So he said "you won't heal if you don't talk about it to me now" and let me tell you that this is pure BS... Of course at the time I didn't know better, I wanted to heal so bad that I started wondering "what if he is right" as he kept pressuring me.
So I told him...
As a result, not only did I have to process the initial trauma in itself, but I also had to process the fact that I had just been forced to talk about it without being ready, and this can create another form of trauma!
But it didn't stop here... what did this so-called "healer" do after? Out of the blue, he told me that this trauma was my fault because I let it happen.
How delicate and compassionate of him, right?
So, that day, I promised myself I would never to that to a client when my business would be open! I'm grateful I learned that lesson, it brought awareness to me, so I will never do that to someone!
When you are processing trauma or whatever release you're having after a session, it is a sacred moment, a moment of liberation, a moment for the healer / facilitator to hold space and be there, giving the energies of presence, benevolence and compassion.
Of course, it's totally ok if you want to talk about your trauma, you can and you are very welcome to do so - if and when YOU are ready and decide to.
The point I was making here is that no one has the right to force you to talk about something you don't want or are not ready to talk about.
If you want to talk about something, it is because you choose to do so with your own free will - not because someone is curious to know and uses blackmail / manipulation techniques.
2) My story as a facilitator: never forcing my clients to talk about what they're not ready to talk about
A few years ago, when I was still going to my clients' houses for in-person sessions, I used to go a lady's house every week, she had an auto-immune disease and had experienced heavy trauma.
And you know what?
To this day, I don't know what her trauma was - she said she wasn't ready to talk about it and I never asked.
Why?
Because:
1) I am not here to force anyone to talk about things they are not ready to talk about
2) I can help without knowing the issue that my clients are facing - energy speaks louder than words
3) I experienced it, I was in shock to have spoken about it while I wasn't ready... and I don't want to do to others what I don't want them to do to me.
When you work with me, I will ask you if there is anything that you need to address or work on specifically or if you prefer an intuition-lead session.
When you work for someone's highest good, you don't HAVE to know what is bothering them.
You just trust you will receive the necessary information that you need to channel for them to be consciously aware of at this moment in time.
I will always welcome anyone to talk about their trauma if and when they are ready, but I will never force! This is a value that is dear to my heart.
To get back to my story about my lovely client, as the sessions went by she was opening up more and more without telling me the whole story. She'd speak about how she felt.
I didn't point it out, I didn't tell her "oh you see, you're starting to share more", because she was doing it naturally so I let it flow out of her - pointing it out might have made her scared to open up more, or might have made her feel pressured.
However, I was always congratulating her of her progress and the good results she was getting in general.
One day, as I was about to leave after our session was done, her husband came back from work and I will never forget what he said as he shook my hand to greet me "Nice to meet you Morgane, I don't know what you are doing to my wife, but thank you" and he was sharing how energized she always was after a session.
This truly made my heart happy, because I am doing this work from a place of passion and mission and all I want is to help lovely souls feel better in their body and their mind and also emotionally.
If you feel you could use some help from an energy healing / shamanic healing practitioner, feel free to contact me by email or to book your free clarity call via this page.
Much love,
