A lot of healers appear to have difficulty learning this lesson and embracing the understanding that although we are capable of healing all of the time, healing is not always required or welcome, but we can still be there for people as human beings. 🙂
The ethics of healing is something I teach ALL my students. And one of my fundamental ethical principles is to get consent form the patient .
But I always send reiki for the highest good of the person. That way it cannot keep them alive if it is in their highest interest to pass on..
When my other daughter was in intensive care and my hands got hot, I gave them to my son. I knew I should not touch her. When my hands cooled I touched her. I knew she was brain dead and I had to let her go. It would be wrong to keep her body alive for my own needs.
To love someone enough to not heal them is the greatest love of all.
It's really not about ethics (for me) its about loving someone enough to suffer the pain of loosing them because it is the right thing. It's not about ethics to her; she is a natural healer. She has no reiki (or any other energy healing) training. This is her gift she came to earth with.
My new daughter had a baby that could only live on machines or on her bare chest (kangaroo healing). She knew that she had to let her go and after a few weeks, she did. Loving someone enough to let them go when it causes you so much pain is a difficult lesson to learn. She has had to do this twice now.
She is a bodhisattva. She has been told this by a psychic and a couple of months ago by a reiki master/teacher. When he gave her a healing session; he said at one point he felt like she was raising off of the table and he held on to her feet. Afterwards he asked her if she had any feelings during the session. She said she grabbed the table with her hands because she felt like she was coming up off of the table. He said she was an angel. I told him bodhisattva (actually I didn't use that word, I used an explanation, I didn't know that word at the time). He was an x monk and angel was what worked for him.
Of all the lessons in earth school; to let a loved one die, when you can keep them alive has got to be one of the hardest.

Hi Tashanie

Yes, it is only polite to ask if someone would like us to give them some healing or wait to be asked for some, we teach that a healer should ask and not do anything until they have received a yes or to do nothing if they receive a no. 🙂

This is a workaround and it is also a conundrum.
Healing is healing, if we give healing to someone, then the intention is always to heal (otherwise it is not healing), it will therefore attempt to heal whatever needs healing unless we specify what we are doing or the person is aware of what is happening and can summon the strength and focus to stop it, that is if they know how.
Giving healing to someone who is dying might not stop them from dying (though the potential is there), but it also has the potential to prolong the dying process, whilst this might be welcomed and helpful to some, it would not be welcome or helpful to others who just want to go and have no reason to prolong their life experience.
If we apply the first part of the equation and ask the person, then we know if they are happy to receive our help or not, but if there is any doubt or we get a sense of unease about the healing we are about to perform, then rather than bypassing our inner guidance and sending healing for the highest good, we simply do not do it.

I see a distinction between 'healing' and 'curing' 'Curing' is the paralysed person getting out of a wheelchair and walking. 'healing' is the paralysed person coming to terms with their disability and still living a full life.
Death MAY be the best way to 'heal' the person since the disease cannot be cured and mind body and spirit can no longer go on.
Thats how I see it anyway

That sounds similar to the medical professions description of healing and what healers do, whilst I understand that it is illegal for a healer to claim to cure anything and that has created a common misconception that healers cant cure, that does not mean that people do not get cured through receiving healing, it just means that healers can't claim the cure for that is illegal. 🙂

I might be reading what you have said wrongly here?
But whilst I would be happy to stay with someone to help them have a more peaceful passing whilst they died or assist them with healing for their diseases so they could choose to live, I cannot for the life of me perceive myself giving someone healing as a cure for life by creating death in place of healing.
IMO that appears to be the complete reversal of what a healer does, healers heal people into life and wholeness, whilst someone who is ready to die, does not require healing, they require death?
The responses have been interesting.
I try not to be attached to the results or responses from others. Everyone has the right to their moral, religious and spiritual beliefs.
Hi Stephanie
In my view you are correct in considering not being attached to the responses. The discussions involving moral, religious and spiritual beliefs can be quite stimulating, heated and exciting all at the same time. A subject so close to each persons heart no doubt may keep us all on the edge of our seats as we explore,learn,share and debate deeper into the realms of the unknown. I also find your responses exciting and thoughtful with a certain element of truth and by how you courageously express which I find contributes to the energy of the discussion. 🙂
Each person expresses their views in their own way and understanding but I expect after a good debate in my experience and I hope to be correct in saying we are all still one big happy family travelling our journey together.;)
Be you, be genuine and with the courage to express a truth that you believe in.
Thank you. You caught my post before I repented and ate my words :rollaugh:
