Seven Principles of the Healer's Path

 

It's a deeply enriching, joyful path, a way of living in the world. We bet you're already walking a healer's path, but if not, give it a try! We think you'll find it so compelling, you'll want to make it a part of your own practice. We see this path as having seven key principles. The healer's path is a Connected, Contemplative, Open, Discerning, Joyous, Healing Journey. Here's a summary to help clarify what we mean:

First Principle: Connected. Connection reflects Jesus' Great commandment, a generous spirit of kinship with humanity and all of God's good creation. **ISN'T: Disconnected **IT IS: Connected
Second Principle: Contemplative Contemplative practice helps us discern that still, small voice that guides. **ISN'T: Brash/Thoughtless **IT IS: Contemplative
Third Principle: Open We open ourselves to new insights about self, other, and to God's callings and promptings. **ISN'T: Closed **IT IS: Open
Fourth Principle: Discerning Knowing when to act, and when to refrain from action, with a focus is on harm prevention in the here and now. Wise. **ISN'T: Indiscriminate **IT IS: Discerning
Fifth Principle: Joyous The healer's path is a joyous one, and rewarding to follow. **ISN'T: Joyless/Sour **IT IS: Joyful
Sixth Principle: Healing All who are called, are called to be healers. The healer's path is a gentle yet powerful one, as a river that can wear away the stubborn mountain. **ISN'T: Harmful **IT IS: Healing
