The Healer's Imprint

A "healer's imprint" is the trace energy left behind by a healer following a healing. While there are many who will tell you that this doesn't happen, you must think for yourself - "When one transfers energy, wouldn't one's own energies intermingle?" And that is what it does. Not always, but occasionally even with a skilled healer, the energetic fingerprint will remain.

While this does not harm the recipient at all, it can leave them feeling uncomfortable for a brief time. However, should one have gone to a less that honest healer, the residual energies could be slightly more than just an uncomfortable feeling, it could even damage the recipient's energy body. How? By similar methods as an energy vampire, only in reverse. This is rare, though, thank the god/s!

By protecting yourself before a healing, this can all be avoided. First and foremost, if at all possible find a healer through friends or family members' recommendation. If this is not possible, ask the healer you have found a few basic questions:

Can I see your credentials?
How long have you been practicing?
Are you part of (insert method here) organizations? i.e.: Canadian Reiki Assoc.
Do you have a list of clients as referrals?
Are you willing to work with other healer's instructions? i.e.: MD

If you feel the healer gives you satisfactory answers, go ahead with the healing. This is very similar to what anyone should do, even when visiting a new medical doctor. As with anything else in life, though, if you feel very uncomfortable, and you know it is not just nerves or illness - Don't have the session! Find someone else who you can be comfortable with.

Other methods of protecting yourself are carrying a hematite stone and/or quartz crystal to the healing. Tell your healer you have them, as you must be completely honest. The healer should be understanding and respect your wish to have them. The two stones will absorb any residual energies and leave your energy body free of the possible imprint.

Following a healing, if you feel an imprint is a possibility, have a shower. Visualize the excess energies rinsing off in the water - from your head, down your body, over your toes, and down the drain. Another option is to go to a quiet area outside, bare your feet, and ground yourself. Then visualize the excess leaving you just as in the shower, only draining into the earth rather than down a drain.
