Should you Send Healing Vibes to Someone Who Doesn't Want Them?

Not too long ago a friend of mine got an intuitive message that a family member was ill and needed healing energy. In her eagerness to help, she told this family member about the message she had received, which by the way was accurate, and the person asked her not to send any energy her way. This family member was already mistrusting and afraid of the gift that my friend has. What is the best protocol in a situation like this? Should the healer send the energy anyway?

Each person is entitled to his or her own Earth experience and should be allowed to create the life they desire even if it means acquiring/suffering an illness or encountering a premature death. If someone has verbalized a request for you not to meddle in their affairs, you would be acting in integrity to avoid sending them healing energy. I know this is not the answer most empaths want to hear—you are very loving people who want to help others. However, our boundaries can be quite thin.

Make sure that your desire to share what you have received is not actually a personal need for your gift to be noticed or appreciated by the other person. Many religious people are afraid of intuitive spiritual gifts and their fear can cause them to miss the healing you could have offered if a different approach were used. So, the next time you get an intuitive hunch like this, you may want to keep it private and not mention it to the person it applies to. That way, you can inquire of that person's higher self (probably the one who sent you the message anyway) and send the healing vibes without usurping another person's free will.

  1. Excellent article. As a Healer, I never impose myself upon someone who I either intuit needs the healing, or I am informed of their need. I always ask permission, and even today when my boyfriend informed me he had the flu, I asked his permission to practice Reiki on him. Just because he is the love of my life doesn't mean I exclusive rights to assist. As healers, we have ethical standards to abide by, just as any other profession. Thank you for addressing the issue.

  2. Cairenn, that is a great practice because sending healing where it is not requested or permitted can cause empaths to pick up detrimental energy from the person they are trying to help.
