Recently a healing practitioner said to me, “Healers don’t get sick.”
My mouth dropped open and I exclaimed, “Who told you that?”
Becoming ill, not attracting abundance, not attracting a life partner; all the spiritual themes of New Age spiritual bypassing that have drawn in a plethora of seekers who have become uncomfortable
with struggle and the understanding that life has its challenges.
I’ve spent years with many clients unraveling thoughts and goals that have propelled them into depression
when they felt the universe was against them, God was against them, they were doing something wrong,
they were being punished for a past incarnation, they are on the wrong path, attracting the wrong friends. The list goes on and on.
I don’t push my beliefs on anyone. I will share that I have different beliefs and in the end, we all have to follow what feels right for us.
When spiritual bypassing creates a dynamic of shame the ripple effect can take years to unwind.
I question the need to make sure everything is within our control, our domain, and the power that comes with it when our thoughts do manifest what we desire.
Is it our thoughts or perhaps a Higher power?
To witness more shame over these thirty years with clients thinking they have done their life wrong because things are not going they way they visualized or that their prayers are not being heard is ludicrous.
Life is greater than the sum of our thoughts and so is the universe.
