Here’s What No One Tells You About Cookie-Cutter Spiritual Healers

Not all that glitters is gold.
I’ve been noticing a toxic cycle happening within the birth of new spiritual and intentional communities. There is a new batch of cookie-cutter spiritual healers on the prowl for new clients and customers. Preying on the weak and vulnerable to ‘heal’ them with their powers of two-hour certifications.
According to Urban Dictionary:
Cookie-Cutter:
Marked by sameness and a lack of originality; mass-produced.
Fortunately, we have a plethora of alternative medicines and modalities to choose from in America. Unfortunately, there is little or no direct regulation over the practices of such alternative medicines and modalities.
I wish there was a code of ethics within the human design blueprint of every individual on this planet. But alas, throw a stone in any corner of any industry and you will find unethical sales pitches as far as the gold glitters.
This is the reality we live in. A world where billions of dollars of mortgages funneled through prison call centers until we crashed and burned our economy in 2008. A world where ayahuasca participants become shamanic practitioners after their second meeting with the Mother.
It took a worldwide economic collapse to begin the process of setting rules and regulations for the mortgage industry. These laws were not intended to stop mortgage purchases and refinances altogether, but were put in place to protect the consumer.
This tells us the consumer was never the priority, only an option.
I wonder how long it’ll take before the unregulated industry of alternative wellness becomes regulated? How many people will be hurt from this vicious cycle of mass-produced spiritual healers?
Many of the cookie-cutter spiritual healers fresh out of the oven have not been witness to the freshly burnt spiritual healers on social media. There are very well-known spiritual influencers with millions of followers. These public figures are currently struggling with the rise of their own shadows, very publicly.
They’ve been talking the talk for four to five years and now they have to walk-the-walk. There is no more hiding for the ascension is for all. Especially within the healing realm.
I have a feeling the new batch of spiritual healers is not fully aware of such burnt cookies because usually, the ego stage encases their perceptions.
Do we not teach at all if we are not fully healed? No, because there will be many people on the same path at the same time in the same alignment who want to hear you out. As you teach from your experiences.
It’s simple; Do not teach false light while masking your own. Always do your inner work and practice what you preach.
I’ve also noticed that the famous social media spiritual influencers are repeating the same teachings and lessons because that’s how far they’ve gone in their healing. They’ve sold their services and businesses for years and sit on a mountain of financial abundance, while spiritually stagnant.
I’m going to let you in on a little secret that most people do not know about the newest batch of cookie-cutter spiritual healers.
Many of them are offering their hand at healing severely mentally ill persons. Specifically diagnosed with schizophrenia, psychotic episodes to those manically depressed.
How did we get to a point where a first-year reiki master believes they can heal the fragmented mind and soul of a person having a psychotic episode? Easy, we live in strange times. And it’s going to get more strange.
Common sense tells us to call a plumber if we need help with our toilet or pipes, not an electrician. Yet, in the cloudy dimensional lines of alternative wellness, it’s difficult to pinpoint who and what we need for our highest good.
This is why it is important to ask questions on top of questions when it comes to allowing anyone into your life from medical doctors to spiritual healers. Not everyone has the same work ethic or ethical code they adhere to.
Above all else, get clear on what you want or who you want to align with. I mean, ‘accidentally walk through the glass door’ type of clear.
Manifestation is instant. Timelines have accelerated. We live in strange times, but depending on your perception, we also live in amazing times.
If you want to be happy, do not ask for ‘happiness,’ but the steps to take to get out of the feeling of sadness, depression, or grief. Take it one day at a time. If you are not clear on what you want, ask for clarity.
Ask Spirit to “Align me with (insert who you want) for my highest good only. To assist me in healing my mental, emotional, physical, and/or spiritual health. Please send me a lead, nudge and/or sign so I can follow the lead for my optimum health. Thank you.”
Your job is to act upon the signs, leads, and nudges given to you by your higher power or a higher source. Even if you pivot, keep going.
