Why Would You Go To A Healer? by Mary Pat Traxler
Healing is a form of complementary medicine that works alongside more
conventional types of care. People who go to healers have often seen counselors,
doctors, or other types of helping professionals first, but they still feel that
something is missing in their lives or they just feel out of balance. You may be
interested in seeing a healer if you have a physical ailment or illness or a
nonphysical problem such as difficulty dealing with your emotions, relationships, or
money. True healing addresses the underlying issues that created these problems,
which are just symptoms of the deeper issues.

Energy healing works differently than counseling alone because a healer uses
intuition to help you see what are you not understanding about yourself and your
life.  When I use energy healing, I do not use a certain procedure each time.  I
connect to the client’s Higher Self, which is defined as that part of the person that
exists in reality and is not part of the ego.  It is the ego that distorts reality to make
ourselves appear better or worse than we really are.  Because the client’s High Self
guides the sessions, each session is different.

Some healers use techniques, which means they perform the same steps over and
over again for each client in every session. Healers have many different
backgrounds and training, and the field of energy healing is unregulated in most
states.  You will have to check for yourself to find out if a particular healer is a good
fit for you.  This may mean learning about the kind of training they have received,
learning about how they got into the field in the first place, and most importantly,
talking to them enough to know that you will feel comfortable working with that
person.


Mary Pat Traxler has worked as a healer in private practice for the past six years
helping people connect to their passion in life and know themselves better.  She
studied energy healing at the A’Claire School of Healing in Chicago.
