ABOUT THE BOOK
If you are a healer – or know someone who is – then you are probably well aware of the enormous challenges of this life path. Choosing to be a healer, teaches Caroline Myss, comes with serious spiritual and energetic demands – and it is crucial to understand and prepare for them. With Caroline Myss’ Essential Guide for Healers, the bestselling author of Sacred Contracts shares her most valuable insights and recommendations for health care professionals, counselors, therapists, bodyworkers, and anyone serving to heal others. Drawing on her own experience as a medical intuitive (one who discerns illness and its root causes in the body), Caroline Myss listeners to explore: the healer archetype: Which specific healing arts are you meant to practice?, how the cosmos trains healers, and ways to open yourself to its lessons, understanding psychic exhaustion, contamination, and other dangers – and how to protect yourself, and how your "appointment" to help others changes as your own inner evolution unfolds, and much more.
"Essential guide for healers is the most concise and precise work to date regarding The Healing Arts.Before deciding to enter this skill those considering should listen to this workshop as it is a calling and requires more than meets the eye.Over the past decade plus,many people are jumping into this arena completely unprepared and unaware of the consequences and responsibilities that come with the healing artsCaroline puts it in very clear terms and I tip my hat to her for all of the detailed information and wisdom she shares in this workshop.I have found so many people that want to jump into this area completely uninformed just to be able to say that they are healers,people with no self worth and no learned skill,just a quick rushed attunement and a certificate. you know,the ones who are willing to "heal others" but not themselves so sad,but true.For the ignorance of being in the ego serves nobody.You have your serious people who truly want to answer the call to take on such a BIG responsibility that are being watered down and catergorized due to inadequately trained "healers"...It is a calling,A true calling and one must be prepared in every aspect and in every way of this skill before diving in uneducated.
I also agree with Caroline on the bartering system,as i've stated so many times to others-it is a favor not an even exchange of energy.And what is with the "healers" who claim this their profession and then refuse to place a price or accept money for their skill,time,effort?To be in this art or any spiritual art does not preclude to poverty!!Not by any means whatsoever.
Discernment in many areas appears to be a serious problem in this art,Yes,Art/skill..I say this as we humans are skilled and learned in this once we are called to work for the Divine and accept this calling,we are not the actual energy but only the vessel that channels the energy,unlike those who claim it is physical self who does the "healing".This is not a beginners guide as somebody stated,it is an incredible audio guide for all interested in the healing arts no matter how long or short a time one has been in this field.And Caroline does not limit this workshop to just Reiki practitioners/Teachers, or laying on of hands energy work she expounds on all levels and areas of life both spiritual and physical.
It is my opinion upon reading the few negative reviews and having been in this art for 17+ yrs that those who are whining and knocking Caroline are the ones who have no business in this art-they are seeing themselves and their lack through her wisdom,therefore they are projecting themselves onto her!Some just cannot face their true selves or their motives,just attune me and show me the money attitude.Ha!Wake up people~This Art is NOT for everyone.
Here are the highlights/topics to give the reviewer an idea of what to expect from each disc;
Disc 1-The archetype of the Healer- explores Why we need a guide for healers- the Archetype of the healer in the Western world: Addresses topics such as Healers as spiritual midwives, The myth of the wounded healer,Becoming a worthy vessel for healing-The power of anonimity, How do you know if you are called to be a healer, and Knowing your own motivations.
Disc 2-The shadow side of the healer- explores The importance of looking at yourself honestly, "The Shadow side of the healer": Topics such as "It's a shadow perspective to see disease as an enemy",Picking up and carrying other peoples energy,Compassionate detachment- "Offering your best without attachment to the outcome", "Symptoms of psychic burn-out" (important for most healers), "The suffering healer.
Disc 3-Healthy Self Esteem and the Art of Healing- explores Self Esteem IS the most significant power in human experience,Self esteem is something you can earn,Everything depends on your wiring and motivation,Intuitive clarity and self esteem,Two levels of personal intuition-survival intuition and conscious intuition;revelation,Do you listen to your own intuition,Pangs of conscience,The difference between an ordinary healer and an extraordinary healer.
Disc 4- explores Advice for the developing healer, What type of healer are you?, Spirituality, money, gender, and right livelihood",Engaging in the world with interior strength, Psychic boundaries, The role of the healer in the larger world... and more.
Run time 5 hrs.
As you can see there is a lot of pertinent information in this workshop.This is a definite must have for all healers.My highest recommendation if there is only one set that you can buy and are considering The Healing Arts this is it!
If I appear harsh it is due to the seriousness with which I take this Art/skill,and those who do not belong in this arena,but are looking for a quick financial fix & Ego boost!
Kudos Caroline!
My Greatest Teachers in life were the ones who appeared to be the toughest!They were the Best!
10 stars here **********"

"This CD is VERY important for healers, many people go into the healing profession, ungrounded searching for proof of their own "specialness" Caroline is quick to deflate this notion. We are all gifted in our own ways, some as healers some not. The vocational draw that is ego driven- is not of service to others. Caroline Myss provides practical advice, myth debunking and drives people to be introspective. An essential componenet to those in the healing world. Those who are introspective, have ego strength and boundries will appreciate this compilation. If you are searching for a path to those qualities this is the CD for you. She is an honest and grounded speaker, much needed in the new age realm. "

"I typically enjoy Myss' work. This one stung a little I must say. She almost seemed angry at parts, but she regained her composure by realligning her chakras. *whew* Seriously, she has a strong opinion about "healers" and everyone else who is just a wanna-be. I did benefit and recieved valuable information about my craft as well as the person I am and want to grow to be. She definetly makes you look deep with in yourself and ask some serious questions, along with knocking anyone and everyone from their high horse. My horse thanks you Ms. Myss. I'll be in the corner, wiping my tears and trying to reallign my chakras.... "

"With a title claiming "Essential Guide for Healers", and having high regard for some of her other works, I was excited to hear this set. I was expecting a positive, motivational, educational, enlightening experience - instead, I was weighed down with her seriously negative attitued about what healing artists other than herself were bringing to the world. It was painful, but I listened to the entire 4 discs, waiting for some of the kinds of gems that have come from her other works. The 3rd and 4th discs were somewhat less negative than the first two, but disappointing is the best one word review for this work. Wasted money - I don't even feel good about passing it along to anyone else."

"To those that have given this one star, they are the people that Dr. Myss has offended because they feel lik ethe they need to be vegetarians and such to be healers. I am a physician and alsways thought of myself as a healer, but this calling is so much more.
Dr. Myss is an unbelievable resource, yet she pulls no punches and shoots right from the hip. If you do not like someone telling you exactly what they think then you may not lik eher approach. To all the people that gave a negative review, I say, you need to exapnd our first and second chakras and break outside of the security of the tribe and look for more in your lives. If you are an LMT and are just in this for the money then you have missed the boat, The same thing is true for a physician such as myself.
Look deeper and listen to this."
