The Mini Me Before Future Me

​Years ago, I had a healing practice.

My first clients were assigned to me (and other coaches) as Healing Codes clients. I taught them how to do the codes and how to recognize a healing response and I got them started on their journey.

But sometimes they chose to continue working with me and pay for distant healing sessions over the phone. But during those sessions, I didn’t only do the Codes...

Mini Me

During my distant healing sessions, I would put the phone down and imagine the person sitting in front of me. 

​Sometimes I added a crystal. Sometimes an essential oil blend. Sometimes I used an elemental healing practice I had created myself.

Or I might use a crystal wand to clear their energy field. I sometimes spoke words of healing or affirmation into their energy field. If I had a vision of an inner child, I would offer healing and talk to her.

One client told me she would begin feeling my energy before we ever got on the phone, and she would already start feeling better. Another brought me dreams, and those dreams helped us get to the heart of beliefs and distortions we might not otherwise have found.

My clients seemed to heal faster when I was able to use whatever they needed at the time.

​Even more than the healing practice, I miss the woman who had it.

Her life was far from perfect. But she had a path.
She had a healer website and even found a couple of clients through it.

​But more importantly, she was learning how to carve cozy good days out of an imperfect life. And she knew where she was going.

T​hen my mother died.

When I eventually moved out of that apartment, it felt as though I left that version of myself behind.

And she never came back.
​
Since then, I have had to relearn things I once knew. Rebuild things I once had. Try to find my way back to a path I used to be able to see clearly.

You were imagining the medicine woman at the bookcase as a future self: deeply resourced, able to recognize what someone needs, able to draw from many forms of medicine rather than one system. And then you remembered more vividly that your old healing practice already contained a smaller, earlier version of that exact way of working.

Future Me

​Lately, I’ve been asking myself what kind of life I want to create and who my future self might be.

But just as I've been saying - that the future version of me I am becoming is not entirely new. Neither is the life I want. My mini me lived quite a bit of it before.

So what I want to do is reconnect with the version of me that I left behind and discover what she knows now. But I also want to remember the good things about the way I lived my life back then. Maybe that will make it easier to create the upgraded version I want to create now.

Do you have a time in your life like that, and a version of yourself that you miss?

See you next time!

​Love, Jeanine
