General question

[MelissaDarling]

I was just thinking about healing energies and healing other people in general. I would like to learn some of the techniques of doing this, but when I relate it all to myself and the way that I think or feel I wonder if I could ever really do it. What I mean is that I don't have the best self-esteem, I've suffered from depression and anxieties ever since I can remember and I don't feel very balanced or healed myself most of the time. So my question is that if I, myself, am not healed (or any other person in the same situation is not) could I (or they) still heal another person?

I am the wounded healer.......(*cough/look at shamanism) Healing can be therapeutic for the healer...

[MelissaDarling]

so the answer is yes? lol

[AP670]

Its like a bazooka to the face yes...

These experiences gave the shaman the great compassion and sensitivity of a wounded healer. The shaman had experienced the horrors and healings of the other world. As wounded healer, the shaman dwelt between the worlds, ready to travel into Spirit at all times to facilitate healing for another person.

...

The shaman knew that just as all paths are self-paths, all healings are self-healings.

Alright, that makes more sense to me. Thank you.

[AP670]

any time. If you need more just ask......... anything else?

BTW. I think the wounded healer is most usefull... How can one heal that which they do not know?

[MelissaDarling]

I guess that makes sense, even outside of shamanism. But would my negative energies effect their energies? Couldn't I kind of pass them on?
