Natural Healing Channels

following the Elements

As I stepped outside and expanded my personal understanding of what I refer to as "Natural Healers", I found there were other categories beyond what I refer to as Clairsentients. The pattern of behaviour, habit or ability to ingest and transmute the unwanted emotions of others or even the culture in general is predominant in "water based" beings. Yet I found that many people were resonating with some of the symptoms but others which would normally give me vital clues to someone undertaking this work were missing.

It would appear that all "natural healers" reach out with their predominant skill hence the feelers amongst us, work primarily with the emotions. Earth based individuals work with their natural abilities to "re-ground" others; Air or mind based beings tend to err on the side of mediation and translation of knowledge for others; Fire beings can be working in the higher realms of Spirtuality, lucid dreaming, visions (awakening the spark of divinity in others) albeit often unconsciously.

This work is outside the normally understood and accepted way of "human beings" in the five sensory world anyway. This means that the symptoms experienced by "natural healing channels" suffering imbalance will be diagnosed within the orthodox framework of illness or malfunction.

Understanding our primary way of experiencing the world is enormously helpful on our evolving journey. This allows us to take steps to balance areas of our life that are often completely out of kilter due to our propensity to reach out too much, from our strongest skill. The journey to balance can be achieved only by integrating all the elements; calling the Spirit back to the Body and introducing the Mind to the Emotions. When the need for any element to rule subsides then peace can prevail.

The easiest way to tune into our natural state is to "entrain" (move into flow) with all the elements. Lack of entrainment or imbalance comes about when we lose this ability to "flow" with the natural world. Many of us have never been entrained "or in harmony" whilst on this planet. Prior to birth, we experience the world through our birth mother; we spend the gestation period trying to entrain through that source of support. Depending on the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual stance of the mother, the baby is corded to & experiencing the world through that connection. If fear is predominant then fear will prevail. For highly sensitive beings our need to construct immediate coping strategies was often paramount to survival. Equally our way to health and healing is about disconnecting from that source of support that is often still draining us physically, mentally and emotionally. The healing is very much the realisation that we need to switch sockets; we unplug from the faulty supply and plug back into the purity of the natural flow of the Universe. As a natural healing channel we can experience unexplained exhaustion because of our (suppressed grief) belief in isolation and separation; in flow this is impossible because Universal energy from Source constantly replenishes itself.

• A Pathway to Healing offers some basic needs shared by all natural channels.
• The first is a strong need to "be" in a way that others do not need to experience, to maintain their equilibrium.
• Because of the habit of moving "out" to others; initially the need to contain our Energy is paramount.
• For some the need to be "alone" for periods of time is essential but for all, peaceful down-time is needed on a regular basis.
• Time in nature, with calm animals and children is like salve to the Spirit for all natural channels.
• Learning to say "No" to demands on your time and energy is vital. Water based beings do find this the hardest of all the channels.
• Living in a calm and orderly environment and for some regular routines are needed to maintain health.

This is an overview that is generally helpful to all the Natural Healing Channels however individually there are significant differences which I will introduce later.
