When you are diving deep into intuitive tools for holistic health and well being, the most important thing to remember is that you are not learning anything new. You are simply re-remembering and in this empowered understanding, it is completely healthy to seek out someone who can show you some cool techniques. But just remember you have to actually play with the technique, you are the scientist, the explorer, the captain and these are your oceans to explore.
The age old question of do I need a teacher...No one can answer this question but you. There are no doubts that seeking guidance at certain times in your life is a natural and healthy response. The only danger is when the teacher tries to get you to become dependant on them , then this can get ugly. Teachers or friends who can point you to some technique can help with your research but the real fun starts when you develop your own way.
Anyone who makes you feel like you have to depend on them, then this can become a dangerous game, find the technique, in a book, DVD, teacher, you-tube and have the courage to explore them by yourself, there is so much information out there and it is so much fun when you start to explore and find things out for yourself.
So I thought I needed to clarify this, there is nothing wrong with going to a teacher or individual or book in fact it is beautiful. The part where things get ugly is when someone makes you dependent on them, that being said when I finally found some mentors that didn’t put a trip on me, but totally excepted for who I was without judgment, then I fell in love with their techniques.
For me this is the greatest of all treasures ~ FREEDOM to be ME.
