Why does everyone start with the Healer Class?

On self-healing, vertical alignment, and learning to hold your own space

People often ask why the school I’ve created is laid out the way it is — why the Healer class comes first, why grounding is emphasized so strongly, and why the early tools focus so much on self-regulation rather than immediately reading or healing others.

The short answer is this: everything builds on sovereignty.

The longer answer is what this post is about.

The foundation: self-healing from the very beginning

The Healer class always starts with self-healing.

Not as a concept, but as a lived experience.

Before anyone learns to read for others, translate images, or hold space in a group, they learn how to be with their own energy. Without that, psychic or intuitive ability tends to run horizontally — dependent on others for regulation, validation, or grounding.

That’s not a failure. It’s just how most of us were taught to relate.

The first tools in the Healer class are designed to shift that orientation.

Grounding — but not in a passive way

One of the first things I teach is grounding into the center of the Earth — not just feeling tethered to this reality, but creating a dynamic, living connection with the planet.

This isn’t about being weighed down or anchored in place. It’s about support.

When you ground into the Earth’s core, you begin to experience a sense of being held that doesn’t require other people to stabilize you. That’s the beginning of vertical alignment.

Instead of needing constant external input, reassurance, or energetic support, you start to feel:

I’m here. I’m supported. I can stay.

Vertical alignment vs. horizontal dependency

Much of what the early Healer tools do is help people shift from horizontal alignment to vertical alignment.

Horizontal alignment looks like:

• needing others to regulate emotions

• feeling destabilized when someone withdraws

• unconsciously merging energy in relationships

• seeking authority or permission outside yourself

Vertical alignment looks like:

• grounding into the Earth

• connecting upward to Higher Self or Source

• holding your own energetic space

• staying present even when things feel uncomfortable

This shift alone changes everything.

Energetic separation: learning to hold your own space

One of the first liberation tools taught in the Healer class is energetic separation — sometimes jokingly described as “getting your chocolate out of my peanut butter.”

This includes learning how to separate:

• from other people

• from group energy

• from emotional entanglement

• and even from me, as your teacher

That last part is intentional.

From the very beginning, students are taught how to separate cleanly so that learning doesn’t turn into dependency. The goal is never to hold someone in my field, but to help them occupy their own.

Center of head: learning where perception happens

Students are also introduced early on to the center of head — the space where clear perception, neutrality, and presence live.

This isn’t about “opening” the third eye dramatically. It’s about inhabiting it.

As students learn to sit in this space, they begin to observe rather than merge, perceive rather than react, and stay curious rather than overwhelmed.

This becomes essential later when working with others.

Week two: chakras as lived experience

In the second week of the Healer class, we begin working with the chakra system — not as abstract theory, but as something felt and experienced.

Chakras are explored as intersections of:

• emotion

• sensation

• belief

• physical experience

• 
  

Rather than treating the body, mind, and energy as separate systems, students are invited to notice how they inform one another. This lays the groundwork for compassion — toward themselves and others.

Week three: running Earth and Cosmic energies

In the third week, students learn to run Earth and Cosmic energies — both infinite, always available, and inherently vertical.

This is a crucial step.

Instead of pulling energy from others, environments, or circumstances, students learn to access support that doesn’t deplete anyone. This builds confidence, stability, and energetic hygiene naturally.

You are never without access to support — and you don’t have to borrow it from anyone else.

Week four: healing together without doing healing to each other

By the final week of the Healer class, all of the tools come together.

Students begin practicing healing with one another — but always with this understanding:

All healing is self-healing.

When someone comes forward for a healing, they are not an object to be fixed. They are a mirror.

Very often, what appears in another person’s field reflects something both people are ready to work with. When I notice that, I don’t try to remove something from the other person. I work with it in myself — demonstrating how to shift energy, release distortion, and change relationship to a pattern.

The other person is invited — not forced — to join.

Readiness matters. Are you ready?

This is the starting point of the school.

If this approach resonates and you’d like to explore it in a supported, experiential way, the Healer class is open to you.
