What makes my healing practice sustainable and growing over the long term?

If we look to the contemplative traditions, sages consistently point to the wisdom that “Nature does not hurry. Yet everything is accomplished” (Lao Tzu).

Ashaninka elder Juan Flores reminds students repeatedly if we allow ourselves to grow in right balance, like plants, then our practice can last a life-time. Otherwise, we fall down.

Out of balance, we risk burnout or injury that can create impairments or take us out of the practice.

• Practitioners are getting depleted or feeling heavy from their work and can not figure out why. 

• We’re focused on nutrition, wellness habits, and mindset but feel like our energy is being impacted, drained, or derailed during or after sessions. 

• We know that they need more awareness around the interaction of their energy with our clients, to get better results with clients and to sustain our own wellness.

• We need a simple, consistent practice that will help them to develop energetic awareness and protect their energy in client interactions.

To keep our subtle and physical bodies nourished and supported, we need to do cultivation and clearing practices. While these can be supported through herbal remedies, dietas, and nutrition, Eastern traditions offer meditation and awareness skills that can change our way of working.
