text: for those of you who do healing work, how do you have god help you with your healing? i cannot make a seperation between myself and the one i am touching. sometimes when i am healing a migraine that someone has carried with them for days, after i brake my connection with them, i leave with the migraine. there has been times after touching someone i have physically gotten sick.  what is something that you can suggest. i have tried creative visualization, and put a light around me for protection while i am touching someone. but for some reason just my doing that it strengthens my connection with them. do you have any suggestions, or know of any books i can refer to... thank you oh and so this will post i must say god god god god how many times. there is no place like home, ok yahoo poilce god god god god. do you know god when you are doing this work? is that good enough now for the yahoo police? god god god. darn they wont let me post it.. do you think when you are doing the healing is it god or you? this problem you speak of just about wrecked me when i was a nurse. i turned to drugs for a while to deaden the pain i took on from these people i dealt with. that is not the answer of course!  i find taking a lot of time to myself when i need it helps. but the separation of ourselves from the sufferer is so subtle, so delicate. we must be connected enough to help and yet protect ourselves. i practice the 'that's your pain, not mine' mantra but i still feel it somewhat. i just don't take it with me when we part.   i will email you about this and expound when i have my thinking cap on and can gather my thoughts. it is a very pertinent question for us healers.  but yes, what heals is not us, it is the universal 'mojo' flowing through us, that is what i call it being funny. but it is 'god'.
