Choosing a Teacher/Practitioner When looking for practitioner or a teacher to assist reaching your goals, what information can help you decide? Each of us is a teacher at all times by our thoughts, words and actions. Each of us has the power to heal ourselves and others. The abilities only need to be awakened. With some people it is a spontaneous "awakening," for others it is going out consciously to awaken the gifts by learning from others. All paths of learning are the right path. Every being is unique and evolving. The growth can be up, down or staying within a confined range, that applies to teachers and practitioners also. Each practitioner is unique and that is wonderful. It allows us so many choices. What do you "need" from a practitioner or teacher? Let's look at what resonates with you. We often go to someone who is recommended to us. Yet what might be "perfect" for your best friend may do little for your needs and desires. What I find as most important to me is: "Does the individual have something that I feel drawn to." I my case. I learn deeply and move on. I ask a lot of questions, once I have the base to do so. My focus is assisting individual growth, starting with me and providing tools for others to grow in there own way. What is your focus? We can also find who we need through ads, articles, information web sites, internet searches ... so many ways are open to us if we look. Then comes the discernment. Is this individual the one I need, at this time, to assist me? What level of control does this individual have? What is the next step from here. Do I have to come back again and again for more information? Am I given tools to assist others and myself for the rest of my life? Being a teacher and a student is two sides of the same coin. Both must exist within us for the strongest growth to occur. Once a teacher stops being a student they limit their growth and the growth of what they teach. What questions are important to you? Research and find find your answers ... or just allow what you need to be brought to you. Learn whatever you feel like! Enjoy the Journey with Love and without fear.
