Transformation of the Healer

Hello everyone,
As the saying goes, one cannot lead another where one has not gone him or herself. Most important, providers of health care must work on their own spiritual evolution to actually experience what the model represents. To become integrally informed and take up an integral practice and then bring this new awareness to the practice of medicine can, transform the practitioner in such a way as to bring back the enjoyment of the doctor-patient relationship. It also empowers us to begin to make changes in the sociocultural problems that we see in medicine today. This tarnish, which is manifested as disease or "dis-ease" in our patients, can be the grace through which both healer and patient can transform their respective lives. Doctors/healers can not lead another/patient where one has not gone themselves. Yes, I feel that you do have an obligation to your clients to be developing your health psychologically, physically, and spiritually. Most importantly, you should want to do it for yourself first. Integral Medicine incorporates both disease and patient and also treats the healer by offering a model that provides an integral awareness, which puts meaning, purpose, and love back into the practice of medicine. I try to implement psychological and spiritual growth in my personal life everyday by praying and finding attitudes of gratitude.
