Katy,
/*\ Namaste :-}}
- you said, in part: "The master I studied with worked with a strict code ie: Give healing to those that asked not to those you think should receive it."
- if all energy workers would live as close as possible to these guidelines we would all be on the same page
- and there would not be the least bit of overcrowding
bagl
- and speaking of ego, one view is that there is a certain ego attachment to referrng to oneself as a healer
- the same view holds that in Reiki, especially, the practitioner's role is to get the energy to the recipient and then has no further direct part to play
- it is up to the recipient to use the energy as well as s\he may to do whatever 'healing' s\he needs to do
>:-}}
- the same view also holds that in other forms of energy work where personal energy is a more primary factor then referring to oneself as a 'healer' seems less inappropriate
Reiki All Around,
