Q: I have been healing with my hands for many years, but I find that sometimes the person will not respond to the healing and will go on to be treated by various other people after they have seen me. I want to be effective in healing and don't want the person to have to incurr more costs, what's happening?

A: Healing never fails. The way healing works is different for each person. The first obstacle to get over is for the person receiving the healing, to let go of the condition and to be open to healing. This is done differently with each person. Then the healing comes in a way that the person can understand and accept.

For some it is instant, like a miracle, for others it is a new treatment, a new doctor or a bunch of coincidences that result in their recovery. The important thing is for the healer to let go of any preconceptions of how the healing has to happen.  Most healers will be stuck on the ego road and will want the healing to happen "because they made it happen", or be instrumental in the healing in some other direct way. This is less efficient than letting the person go through the steps. 
I do understand that if you get paid for your services, you want to be able to show the final product to your client, but if the person cannot confront your type of healing, this is going to be difficult.
For most people the condition they came to you to be healed from serves them in more than one way. Ask them: How does having a medical condition serve you personally?

You have to take into account that some people receive disability income from Social Security or other insurance and might not be prepared to give it up. Or perhaps their lack of mobility has made them more reachable to other people or serves in other ways. An example of a sickness serving people is the way in which people who overwork will suddenly come down with something which requires forced bedrest; the flu being the most common.

Another side to the healing that has to be confronted is death. Sometimes the only way to recover is to die.
This is something that has happened 3 times to me. Once it was a 9 month old baby and it hurt me like hell. She had no spinal nerve, it's a very rare genetic condition called SMA. I could have kept her alive for many years but the mom wanted a full recovery, although on the outside she wanted to keep her alive. Amazing things happened that would have allowed the baby to live many years, for example a breathing machine was sent free from the USA for the baby. The day that the dad went to fetch it, the baby died on the way home from a shopping outing. I held her in my arms and knew I could bring her back. But something higher told me not to.  I turned to the mother and told her, her baby would be reborn and that she would know 100% that it was the same baby.
The next year, on the same birthday and the same time as her baby's birth, her oldest daughter had a baby girl who looked exactly like the baby who had died. This oldest daughter had been told she couldn't have babies. I have to make a note here to say that the mother was a Buddhist and believed in rebirth, which is perhaps why a rebirth happened.
Another time was with my own grandmother, she had been in a coma for about 3 years and I gave her two choices, one was to recover and continue with her life or to die because I was going to wake her up.  She died instantly.
That was painful too, I thought she would recover.
The third was a woman with cancer. She was hospitalized and expected to go home for Christmas a few weeks later. She had been given about 6 months to live and was in terrible pain.
She died within minutes. I don't know why she died, but it felt that she allowed herself to let go of all the pain.
On the other hand, people do tend to recover most of the time. In the past I would just give them a session and off they went, but would return with some other condition some time later. Since I make people work at it and pay, the healings are very, very efficient.

So, if the person doesn't heal instantly with you but then finds some other therapist or healer who seems to do the job, was your service a failure? No.

When someone comes to me the healing could be an energy healing facilitation, or a regression session, or will involve actions such as taking homeopathy. Sometimes it will include going to a MD or other specialist.  As to the "miracle" recoveries, these happen with the energy healing facilitation and I have NO IDEA how they happen. They just do. Perhaps the person needed an external switch that allowed them to heal. I do feel the usual "healing energy", it is like a tingling down my arms and in my hands, and it is the type of healing that has happened since I was a small child. The other therapies, regression therapy and personal guidance, can last from a few hours to a few months. Rarely has it lasted for over a year.

I know from personal experience that it is very difficult to let go of a physical condition.
In 1984 I was riding on the back of a motorbike and was in a very bad accident. I died at the scene but was brought back. I had back injuries and my right hand was totally smashed, all the bones and muscles were pulp. It was terribly disfigured and had very limited mobility.  I was told I would never be able to use it again. My professional guitarist career came to an end (was I relieved). It took me about 3 years to get it looking good and a few more to get it working really well. If I use my right hand for any length of time, it still hurts, but to look at it, it's perfect. A medical "miracle" that took a while to make happen, but there again, time is relative. 

For other people however, the energy healings happen either instantly or within three weeks after the first session.

My advice would be to let go of what you think the healing is about, the person who comes to see you will receive the healing facilitation but will heal according to what they need and not what they or you think they need. Let the higher powers, the universal energy, the person's higher self, or master or God or whatever name you give that divine energy that is all around us to do the work with the knowledge that it/they/he/she knows what's best for the person you are healing.  Only good will come of it.
