Tips for Keeping an Open Mind
If you’re going to be an effective healer and help your clients achieve the best results, you’ll want to keep an open mind during every session you do. This goes deeper than simply not focusing on anything in particular – read on for some helpful instructions about this.
Get out of your own head. When a client is working with you, it is time to focus on their feelings and their needs. Even if you’ve got a lot going on, a session is time to put your own needs aside and give the time and energy to the client. Take care of your own needs before beginning a session so you don’t have to interrupt to get a drink or use the restroom or anything like that. If a client pushes a “hot button” for you- or touches on an issue that is difficult for you personally, push your own thoughts and feelings aside for later when you have time to focus on helping yourself.
Leave your expectations at the door. A lot of the time, what you think is the underlying issue is, in fact, not even close to what is really going on. Trust the body to give you the answers you need. Don’t worry if what you find doesn’t make sense- just explain to the client that things aren’t always what they seem and that’s okay, the subconscious and the body are really in charge, not you.
Don’t project. You can have a powerful influence over the muscle testing answers you get, if your focus is strongly on one subject or another, or if you’re expecting to find something in particular. This is called projecting- don’t do it. Remember that everyone is different and even if two people both have depression, their respective emotional baggage will probably be different from one another. You have to be open in order to find the answers you need in order to help others.
Leave the Ego behind. This work is not about you, it’s not about me, and it’s not about being right, either! You’ll be on a learning journey as long as you’re working as a healer. Even the experts are wrong sometimes and this is okay!
