I have to tell you it’s a very strange and difficult thing to be able to do energy and healing work.

There are plenty of schools out there that teach how to do energy work. Or shamanism. Or healing. Or lightwork.

But to just have the gift? That’s downright strange.

At least it is for me.

I’m a “woo woo” person but not publicly so. My “day job” has no obvious connection (really not a connection of any sort) to healing.

So how the heck to talk about it with people? Especially since I can really help folks.

I’ve talked with folks that know me professionally and personally. It’s strange - as far as I know the folks that know me professionally have accepted me completely. No so for the people that know me personally.

I’m going through an interesting time personally right now. I was talking with a good friend of mine who was not supportive of what’s happening in my personal life. There’s a lot happening that doesn’t make sense to detail here.  Suffice to say that we hadn’t talked in 6 months because he doesn’t approve of my life.  When we spoke in early August I was trying to explain the whole deal to him. He wasn’t getting it - and wanting to meet to chat face to face (we live about 80 miles from each other).

I told him I was game for this - but I wanted him to know what was doing in my life completely. So I told him about my healing gift.

His response was “so you’re telling me you’re $#@$@!! Jesus Christ?!”

Of course that wasn’t what I was saying - just his response. I was also clear with him that “I” am not doing any of the work.

Anyway - he was supposed to call me back a couple of days later to continue the conversation. That was nearly two months ago. Not a word. I’ve known him since I was in 7th grade. No call, nothing.

Because of this experience and others I’ve been concerned about putting my identity on my healing website - and this blog.

Does the healing work I do mean I’ll be rejected personally? Will I be forced to deny who I am if I am to maintain my personal and professional relationships?

The sad answer is that I have denied who I am so far.

I’m done with that. If I have to deny who I am to maintain relationships what kind of relationships are those anyway? Am I then living a lie and am I not giving away part of my soul - who I am - to make others more comfortable. The math doesn’t work out very well on that equation I’m guessing. It hasn’t so far.

So for now, I’ll settle for my first name. It’s Ken.

With gratitude and peace.
