The ego and the healer-simply put, the two don't mix, don't even make sense at all! The ego is defined in Oxford American Dictionary as "the part of the psyche that is concerned with the outside world, self esteem, conceit". What does that have to do with energy healing? Nothing. To be able to be a conduit for the healing energy of the Universe is a humble undertaking by few that are called to it. The Ego only gets in the way of that, it can make a person believe that they are the ones that are healing the sick or injured, when in fact the self has nothing to do with it.
When clients or friends come to me and say "can you do that thing you do to make me feel better?", I smile and tell them that I will work on them and the Energy will do what it is supposed to-that is the truth of the matter! Of course, there is that part of me that wishes I could wave my hands over them and heal them immediately and precisely, but I know that it is not me doing the healing, and I am not in charge. I also know that Reiki can do no harm, and it will heal whatever needs to be healed at that time. The definition of energy in the Oxford American Dictionary is "the ability of matter to do work either because of its motion, or because of its mass, or because of its electric charge, etc.". It is the same for healing energy that flows through my hands, feet, eyes and voice-I am just the conduit, kind of like the extension cord connected to the Universal life force!
I have witnessed many miracles over the past few years that I have been working on people so I know deep in my soul that Reiki and Prayer do heal, sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly. I am truly blessed to be attuned to this magnificent Energy and teach others about it so the legacy of Reiki continue on to do bigger and better things for those open to it.
