Confusion, which way is right

QUESTION: Masters, I love to groom dogs and have done so for years, but since I have discovered my healing gifts, every time that I think about going back to my old love of grooming I get an extreme pain in my right shoulder. I have thought about going to nursing school because it more ties in with my spiritual gifts. I did Reiki on dogs and that is where I found my gifts. I feel like I am standing in the fork of the road. Please point me in the right direction. ~Annette, USA

ANSWER: We can’t tell you what you should do because that would interfere with your freedom of choice. What we can tell you is that your body is receiving signals from your higher self trying to tell you to get off the starting line and move ahead. The right side of the body reflects the forward movement in life. If it gets painful when you think about something but don’t act upon those thoughts, you are telling yourself decision time is now.

To be a healer such as a Reiki practitioner you don’t have to have a nursing degree or something of that nature to be able to use the power. You already know you have a connection with animals and that you can do more than just groom them. To be able to soothe them and take away some pain and fear with Reiki energy is a very important service to pets and their owners.

Are you aware that as you bring through the energy to help animals, the energy also balances up your own body as it travels through? Your body likes that energy, and your shoulder is asking for you to at least continue bringing the energy through so it can feel better. There are a lot of spiritual healers who are channeling energy through from the universe to Mother Earth at this time to stop the destructive forces that are currently affecting it.

It is time to go inside and see what feels like the direction you can relate to best. Don’t think about things without acting—just go with your feelings.
