On Language, Wholeness, and Why I Don't Call Myself a "Healer"

For years, I’ve reflected on the language we use in the world of energy work. Many beautiful souls call themselves healers, and while I deeply respect that, the word has never quite felt aligned for me.

At first, I thought it was my own discomfort—a fear of being seen, of being “too much” or “too out there.” For a long time, that fear kept me from sharing this work at all. But as I grew into my practice, I realized my hesitation wasn’t only about visibility. It was about truth.

✨ Why the Word “Healer” Doesn’t Sit with Me

For me, calling myself a healer implies that something—or someone—is broken and needs to be fixed. That the power lies with me to restore it. And that has never felt true.

What I know in my bones is this: no one is broken.

Yes, we carry distortions, dis-ease, pain, and misaligned patterns. Yes, we work with 'shadow'. But none of that means we are less than whole. We are already perfect in our essence, because Divinity itself cannot be anything other than perfect—even in the messy, uncomfortable, or painful expressions.

When I step into a session, I don’t see someone who is broken. I see someone who is luminous, whole, and already Divine—someone who may simply need support in remembering that truth.

🌱 What Energy Work Really Is (for Me)

So if I’m not here to “fix” anything, what am I doing?

Energy work, in my experience, is about:

• Helping people notice where and how they’re holding distortion.

• Supporting the release of those blocks.

• Inviting greater flow of Source energy into the system.

• Entraining the body and field to hold steady in higher frequencies.

In Esoteric Healing, dis-ease is described as the result of inhibited soul forces. My role is to

support the flow of those forces again by helping open the pathways so their own Soul can move more freely.

I often think of it like this: I may be the spark plug, but the client is always the engine. The true work is theirs. The choices they make between sessions, how they meet life, and the alignment they claim—all of that is what anchors the energy into form.

🌟 Language as Clarity and Integrity

Because of this, I lean toward words like energetic alchemist, energy worker or facilitator. They may not sound as warm or familiar as healer, but they keep me clear about my role.

Words matter. They help me stay steady in the intent of this work:

• To support Divine flow.

• To witness the truth of someone’s wholeness, even when they can’t see it themselves.

• To hold space with objective love, without attachment to outcome.

• To align with the larger view—the Soul and Monad level, the Big Picture of our unfolding.

This language keeps me out of the personality trap of taking responsibility for someone’s “success” or “failure.” It reminds me to stay in love and presence, not in ego.

💌 In Closing

So while healer is a word that works beautifully for others, it isn’t mine. For me, the work is about remembering.

Remembering that we are already whole. Remembering that Source is always flowing. Remembering that love and wisdom are always available when we open.

And if language can help me keep my hands steady on that thread of truth, then I will gladly choose words that feel most aligned with the light I’m here to carry.

With love,

Leena
