In this episode of "Tune In to Heal," I explore the intriguing question: "What is a healer?" Whether you’ve worked with healers before or are simply curious about their role, this episode is for you. I address various questions I've been asked over the years, shedding light on the evolving definition of a healer. Traditionally, healers were seen as shamans, medicine men or women, and spiritual guides using rituals and natural remedies to heal the body and spirit. Today, the concept has broadened to include energy healers like Reiki practitioners, holistic health coaches, therapists, and physical healers like chiropractors. Each brings a unique approach to wellness, and I explore these different types of healers in depth. I outline essential qualities that make a great healer, such as empathy, intuition, honesty, and the ability to hold space—a concept beautifully encapsulated by Maryam Hasnaa's quote, "A healer does not heal you; a healer holds space for you while you awaken your inner healer, so that you may heal yourself." I share how this realization was pivotal in my journey to embracing my identity as a healer. I also open up about my personal path as an integrative health coach, intuitive reader, and energy healer. I describe the challenges and responsibilities that come with being a healer, including the importance of self-care and setting boundaries to avoid becoming overwhelmed by others' energies. Moreover, I discuss the "curse" of being a healer—how it initially felt like a burden due to my analytical nature and societal expectations of hard work and effort. Over time, I learned to see my abilities as a gift and embraced my calling to help others on their healing journeys. For those considering working with healers, I provide tips on identifying genuine practitioners, emphasizing the need for certifications, ethical practices, and personal intuition. I debunk common myths about healers and highlight the holistic benefits of working with them. Finally, I invite listeners to share their experiences and questions about healers, fostering a shared learning and growth community. Join me in this insightful episode to deepen your understanding of healers and discover how they can support your journey to wellness.How to keep in touch with Tune in to heal Follow on IG (English): https://www.instagram.com/tuneintoheal/ Follow on IG (French) : https://www.instagram.com/tunein_toheal/ Find me on LinkedIn : https://fr.linkedin.com/in/ianjarakotondrainibe Visit my website :https://fr.linkedin.com/in/ianjarakotondrainibe Hosted by Ausha.
