what I miss in Holistic Therapists ✨🩵

Every day, we see more and more alternative and holistic therapists emerging, which is interesting and important.

This could represent a beautiful movement of people seeking — if that is truly the case — a job, a profession, that involves connecting with the complexities of others.

After all, ideally, we should always work with what warms our hearts — this is a reflection of real happiness.

And those who work with love reflect much more, impact much more, than those who work only for monetary value 💵 — which, unfortunately, can lead to a focus on oneself and mere survival.

Even so, we know and understand that, in the vast majority of cases, many people find themselves with few employment opportunities, and end up sticking to something solely for financial reasons. And that is highly understandable.

But when we are talking about those who could choose more easily and freely what to work on, who could choose courses, who continue to have opportunities to professionalize themselves, we come to remind and ask:

For whom do you do what you do?

The key is always to look at your target audience.

Every target audience of a profession, whatever it may be, should be your focus, your attention, what made you choose this profession.

If the profession was and is only about YOU, it is worth revisiting your choice.

So much investment to impact no one as fully as possible?

So much investment for a small result?

You are capable of more.

And you should have awareness and responsibility for this.

And why am I being so bold as to enter your professional choice to make you reflect?

We are still very much tied to patterns of authoritarianism that are reflected in different areas of life:

In schools, authoritarian and rigid teachers are still prevalent, those who want more to "indoctrinate" than truly educate, who punish more than they listen, who do not allow space for nonviolent communication (NVC, a method I recommend for every human being, regardless of profession).

Doctors in various areas, from body to mind, who still aim more to reinforce status and intellectual domination than to truly listen to the patient and fit them appropriately into a diagnosis.

Lawyers who are so focused on their ego in a case or legal process, less on how the outcome — and the journey — of the case impacts their clients and others involved.

People still don’t know how to use the powers they have — including intellectual power — with empathy and altruism.

And I’m not being delusional or dreamy.

I am being clear in reminding you: those who want to, impact.

And those lost in their own ego confusions, most likely do not impact — because they do not direct energy to that purpose.

And those who don’t impact much, generate more confusion in the other’s process than contribution.

This is not about dependency between client and professional — far from it!

There is a big line, not thin at all, separating these two points: balance and dependency.

It is possible to be harmonious, empathetic, fair, altruistic, think of others as well, and still have success, recognition, and truly reach happiness.

And in the case of holistic therapists, what I, as a holistic therapist, miss is this:

I miss seeing colleagues who understand what it means to be a therapist in the first place: active listening.

How many times have I been attended by colleagues and, even already being in the field, noticed a growing pattern of disharmony between serving and attending?

I think it is extremely important to remind everyone walking into work with energy, spirituality, and others’ inner worlds: this is not about "being an easy path to earn money."

If your interest is purely financial, do not meddle with someone else’s inner self.

There is nothing more sensitive than what resides in our subconscious and unconscious.

Working with this requires knowledge, yes, but also — and especially — respect and empathy.

If these ingredients are missing, there is no connection.

If there is no connection, there is no exchange.

And if there is no exchange, how does the therapeutic process even occur?

'Know all the theories, master all the techniques, but as you touch a human soul be just another human soul.'

CARL G. JUNG, 1991.

It feels more like a raw service transaction…

We already have the awareness to be and manifest far more than something cold like that, agree?

We are in a period of planetary transition.

Neutral love needs to emerge more than ever, much more.

Empathy is one of the pillars of love. Connection, presence, and commitment too.

It is not about mastering techniques.

It must be about impacting lives. Not in the sense of "saving others," but in the sense of:

How can I impact these people within what I have to give?

And if you feel you have nothing to give, then the case is to work on yourself before attending anyone.

Although everyone has something to contribute,

if there is difficulty with empathy, active listening, or nurturing, perhaps working therapeutically with others is not ideal for now. Instead, seek therapeutic care for yourself first.

Being a committed therapist is about:

Connecting with internal worlds.

Knowing yourself.

Respecting your own limits.

Respecting the limits of others.

This is balance.

Neither one nor the other.

No extremes of ego, separation, distance, coldness, correction, or sacrifice.

And no longer reflecting or repeating authoritarian patterns: control, correction, coercion — which become even more delicate when justified by something invisible, but deeply felt by the client (spirituality, faith, etc).

"Spirituality says X to you" …when in reality, it is the therapist’s ego speaking.

Or their biased, judgmental mind evaluating mentally instead of with the heart (intuition and wisdom are in the heart, not the mind — the mind is only an interpretative tool).

Be careful. Act wisely.

Exercise caution and understand your own instincts when dealing with spirituality.

Is your ego ready to serve, or does it still want to dominate someone through a "sense of superiority"?

Have more respect. Especially for the other’s process.

I’ve seen many colleagues extremely focused on:

Standardizations, minimal active listening

Generalized conclusions, listening very little

Giving reports without tuning into emotional nuances, often reaching conclusions that wouldn’t fit the client if they truly listened

Rushing appointments

Quantity over quality in service

Turning therapy (and energy) into a commodity without deep, empathetic contact with the client

If that’s the case, present yourself that way from now on.

Because therapy is PROCESS.

It is conversation. Dialogue. Exchange. Human.

Therapy is not numerical. It is not raw, rigid, closed, or standardized. It is individualized and personalized, client by client.

This is Nonviolent Communication. And empathy.

Also, it is a rehearsal of neutral love, universal love — which we are still far from fully achieving due to ego.

So, if you want to be more of a channel for Light, try to understand how it works:

Does spirituality act in a hurry? Does it interrupt the client’s speech? Does it deliver reports with rushed conclusions? Or does it merely plant seeds, sometimes symbolic, not definitive… allowing clients to know themselves?

Many therapists try to impose conclusions on clients, disguised as consciousness expansion, but often these are ego-driven labels of “spiritualized” superiority.

I’ve also seen: "Your chakras are out of balance again, oh no! Everything must be kept balanced for energy to be high."

Instead of asking: "What has been happening in your life?"

Dear readers, therapists, and clients: it is completely NORMAL for our energy centers to fluctuate. Nothing more normal. Do not fall for the illusion of perfection. All change begins with awareness.

Any therapist who truly understands the purpose of Being a Therapist knows:

Looking to "cure" symptoms is focusing on effects, not real healing.

Dear ones, I am human, I fluctuate, amen. I am normal. I accept and embrace my emotional waves.

I am not a "spiritualized ego", nor a “perfect body” mannequin.

I am a Therapist, but I don’t see life that way.

The Spirituality of Light does not impose patterns. It lets people discover, respects free will, does not force “evolution.”

At most, it gives hints, draws attention,

never forces labels or emotional processes before the right time.

So do not see yourself as the holder of truth over someone else’s inner world.

Less is often more.

Seek ways to contribute to people without excess.

Emotional responsibility.

What others feel from what you say is their responsibility. But how, what, and the intention behind what you say is yours.

If you speak to correct rather than contribute, punishment vibes emerge. If you speak to control, authoritarian energy still resonates.

And from the start, if this behavioral risk exists in you, it is something to work on — for your own and others’ good.

Back to the beginning:

Why did you become a holistic therapist? What do you want from it?

Sometimes, depending on the technique, like radionics, the report, if not handled consciously, can be overly technical, operational, and disconnected — like evaluating someone’s performance: “In numbers, you are X, Y, Z.”

Dear ones, no tool evaluates anyone’s essence.

It evaluates the frequencies of the moment — that is why interpretation without love, respect, and awareness of frequency is dangerous.

We are here to delve deep, understand roots, not just address effects or symptoms.

Therapy is a PROCESS. Dialogue. Exchange. Human.

With holistic therapy, this is even more sensitive — we look at the whole being.

For love:

Let’s open our eyes — and our hearts!

[countesscuriosity]

I heard you were getting tired of the same Will&Kate&Rose asks so I thought I'd send one in to shake things up. Can you elaborate on how the aura/energy thing works? I'm curious as a newbie tarot reader/intuitive. I've been exploring recently on seeing people's auras and such and I'm so lost, haha.

Thank you for this ask. I have so much to say, I don’t know where to start. How do I present a decade of learning in a succint manner.. hmmmI don’t know how much you know, so I’ll start at the beginning. If there is interest, I’m happy to answer more questions.Disclaimer: I am answering this question by blending my knowledge of ancient yogic practices, Pranc Healing, Reiki Healing, and  New Age concepts of spiritual healing. ……………………………………………………………………………………………………

The Aura

An aura is formed of the energy body or subtle body or bioplasmic bodyor etheric body. According to New Age beliefs. Bioplasmic body means a living energy body made up of invisible subtle matter or etheric matter. The aura is the colored emanation of the energy body that encloses a human body or animal or object. 

This is klirilian photography, which is a machine that captures images of a person’s aura (and they chakas). 

The colours and size of the aura changes depending on health, mood, activity

The Inner and Outer Auras

The inner aura is the energy body that merges with the physical body and extends beyond it by 4-5 inches. (source)

The outer aura merges with the inner and health auras and usually extends about one metre away from the visible physical body. If noticed clairvoyantly, we will see that the outer aura is usually multicoloured and shaped like an inverted egg. (The kirilian photography above captures the outer aura.)

Health Rays

The physical body perpendicularly projects bioplasmic rays from its surface. These rays merge with the inner aura and are called the health rays. This contour of health rays is called health aura. The health rays and the health aura are roughly two or three feet in length.  

The Chakras

Those coloured dots are the chakras. We have seven chakras. They each correspond to specific organs as well as physical, emotional, psychological, emotional, and spiritual states of being and influence all areas of your life. Within these chakras is prana or bioplasmic energy.  From down to up, it’s:

The Root/BaseThe Sacral/NavalThe Solar PlexusThe HeartThe ThroatThe Third EyeThe Crown

(Some disciplines add a chakra, or move the location of achakra, but this is the basic chakra knowledge.)

Meridians/Nadis

Chi or prana (the bioplasmic energy) circulates through the body through meridians or nadis. Chi and meridians is a Chinese concept, prana and nadis is an Indian concept. Acupuncture and traditional Chinese considers your meridians. In Ayrveda (Indian herbal medicine) the doctor will check your nadi. 

Nadis

Meridians

So that’s the lowdown on our energy bodyor aura. Let me know if you want to know anything else, I’d be happy to share. :)

Eyesight is NOT what we think it is. Here’s proof

We have always been told eyesight doesn’t get better. We have been told it is genetic - although what ‘genetic’ means is changing rapidly with new research - that our eyes have undergone an irreversible change, and we will never see clearly again. Yet, we are also told that many of our bodily functions and processes are controlled by the brain, that we see with our mind. Mind over matter. If you’ve ever experienced a hallucination - be it drug-induced or otherwise - you know how true this is. It never sat well with me that I would never see clearly again. Deep down, I never believed it. Grudgingly, over the years, I came to accept my deteriorating eyesight and need of glasses or contact lenses in my everyday life. Having a minimum vision of -4.25 dioptres, I use them almost all the time. I am using them now. But, things still never added up. I noticed how some mornings I would wake up and see clearer than usual. During my rebellious stage, I wouldn’t wear my glasses and - every now and then - I would blink and have 20/20 vision. A few blinks later, it would be gone. How can this be, I thought? I’m told I can’t see, but there are times when I can, even momentarily. Clearly, it isn’t beyond my physical capabilities; my thinking then - and now - is that if I can see sometimes, I have the potential to see all the time. However, at that time I reached a dead end. My vision kept getting worse, and I still hadn’t figured out how to see better stably. I had tried eye exercises and it hadn’t worked. Life happened and this goal dropped in the list of my priorities. I began to have doubts. Fast forward a few years to now. I graduated university, and of course the student life had led me to try new things, perhaps to a more extreme extent than some people. I took herbal medicine, got married in my first year, had months of anxiety that, as a result of, I received life-changing therapy for. Out of my natural curiosity about life, I tried drugs. I had almost forgotten my first time trying MDMA, but something clicked in my brain, a memory that wasn’t previously at the forefront of my mind about that night. I didn’t need my glasses. I hadn’t had an easy time of it that night. The come-up induced in me a full-on, 1 and a half hour panic attack. All I could see was a blur and all I felt was terror. I desperately wanted to sit down, but there was no-where to go in this nightclub. It felt like it went on forever. My friends tried to look after me as best as they could, but for that time, I was trapped in the feeling. At one point, reeling from the shaking, I took off my glasses and found I could see better without them - my vision was still shaky, but it helped. I remember the exact moment the come-up stopped and became the high. The only true way I could describe how it felt was that I had been in a boat out at sea in a storm and it felt like I was almost not going to make it - and then, suddenly, I was out. The sea was calm and the ship was sailing into the sunset. My world stopped shaking in literally one instant. I felt tremendous relief. I felt OK. The rest of the night, I felt incredibly safe. Each person around me that would normally induce a feeling of guardedness in me felt like a friend I simply hadn’t made yet. It was like being a kindergartner again, which I hadn’t remembered until then how it felt like. This left such an impression on me at the time that I simply didn’t focus on the fact that I could see perfectly clearly. Without my glasses. I became curious and got in touch with a friend that has taken the same drug. Her only reply was - “Why do you think I don’t wear my glasses on nights out anymore?” I was completely amazed - It wasn’t just me! I relayed this story to yet another friend, who I know through completely unrelated means. His eyes widened. “I know, right?!?!” he exclaimed. “I take my glasses off when I take MDMA because I don’t need them!!” We proceeded to talk about how what we see truly is our own perception of the world, not the reality of what we are seeing. (If anyone has taken LSD - my friend recounts that tripping with glasses on and without glasses is a very different experience, though I cannot confirm this.)

So, what does MDMA actually do? We know that it affects various neurotransmitters, including dopamine and serotonin. We know that it induces feelings of connectedness with people around us. Could there really be a link between how we feel (which influences with neurotransmitters we produce, and how much) and what we see?

I am not the first to have written of psychosomatic causes of vision problems - various others have written of poor eyesight as an ‘unwillingness to see’, either the world around us or ourselves, for any number of reasons. Some talk about a defining ‘Vision event’ in people’s lives from where this mode of operation stems, for example witnessing violence or conflict that the person does not desire to see. It is easy to dismiss these theories as mere speculation or fanciful thinking without any evidence. However, the evidence for me has been mounting since I began questioning the experience I had had. This can’t be ignored. This can’t be swept under the rug as a one-off, stand-alone experience, an abnormal outlier. This happened to me (although I am always the first to doubt my own experience). Moreover, it happened to people I know. Maybe it has happened to you, or people you know. I want to hear about your experiences. I searched online for an article or blog post for an experience like mine for some time before I realised that I would have to write it first. If this is you: I am here. Get in touch. We need to rethink our approach to eyesight, because it is clear to me:  Eyesight is NOT what we think it is.
