TWIN FLAME HEALING: UNDERSTANDING THE PROCESS

10 Clear Signs You Are a Spiritual Healer (Inspired by Dolores Cannon)

The journey of self-discovery is often filled with unexpected revelations about who we are and what we are meant to do in this lifetime. For many, this journey reveals a hidden capacity to heal—whether it’s healing others emotionally, spiritually, or physically. Dolores Cannon, a renowned pioneer in past-life regression and metaphysical studies, believed that many individuals are born with an innate ability to be spiritual healers. These abilities might be subtle at first, but they can lead you down a path of profound fulfillment and service once recognized. Here are ten unmistakable signs that you might be a spiritual healer, with insights into their deeper meanings.

1. You Feel Deep Empathy for Others

Empathy is not just a feeling—it's an energetic experience that allows spiritual healers to connect profoundly with others. If you’ve ever felt an overwhelming emotional pull when someone else is hurting or even felt pain in your own body, this is a clear sign of your healing potential. Spiritual healers can often sense what others are experiencing, sometimes before those people even speak about it. This empathy allows you to offer comfort, guidance, and support in ways that feel instinctive, and often it’s this presence that facilitates the healing process.

Deeper Insight: Dolores Cannon spoke extensively about the soul’s purpose and mission, noting that healers often come into this lifetime with an inherent gift of empathy. This ability enables them to understand the deep wounds of others, not just through the intellectual mind, but through their soul’s wisdom. However, such a strong connection to the emotions of others can be overwhelming. Spiritual healers need to learn how to protect their energy and establish healthy boundaries, as absorbing too much energy from others can lead to emotional burnout.

2. You’re Drawn to Healing Practices

If you find yourself naturally attracted to alternative healing practices like Reiki, acupuncture, sound therapy, or other energy healing modalities, it’s not by chance. This attraction is often the first clue that your soul recognizes these methods as part of your spiritual path. Even if you have not formally trained in these fields, you may feel an instinctive knowing of how energy flows or how to help others feel better simply by being present with them.

Deeper Insight: Dolores Cannon’s teachings emphasized the idea of past lives and how the experiences and skills we gained in previous incarnations often resurface in our current lives. Healers, in particular, may have been shamans, medicine people, or energy workers in past lifetimes. This creates a deep, sometimes unconscious, connection to healing practices and knowledge. Your soul’s pull toward these practices could be a sign that you are reconnecting with ancient wisdom you carried with you through time. Even if you haven’t yet explored these practices in-depth, your connection to them hints to further investigate and cultivate these gifts.

3. You Have a Strong Intuition

Intuition is the language of the soul, and it plays a critical role in the work of spiritual healers. If you often “know” things without being told, or have a heightened sense of knowing or foresight, this is an indication that your intuitive faculties are awakened. Whether you can sense when someone needs help, anticipate the emotional state of others, or receive guidance through dreams or sudden insights, this inner knowing is a powerful tool for healing.

Deeper Insight: Dolores Cannon explained that the ability to access intuition is a vital part of a healer’s journey. For spiritual healers, intuition goes beyond just a “gut feeling” — it is an actual, finely-tuned connection to the unseen world. It is through intuition that healers can channel guidance, communicate with spirits, or receive messages from the subconscious mind of others. Strengthening this intuitive connection through meditation, mindfulness, or other practices can deepen your ability to help others. Intuition also helps guide you in your own life, ensuring that you stay aligned with your soul’s purpose.

4. People Seek Your Guidance

Do people often turn to you for advice, emotional support, or just to vent their frustrations? You might find that, regardless of your formal qualifications or training, people naturally seek out your counsel. This is because you emit a calming and grounding energy that others instinctively recognize as healing. Your presence alone may provide comfort, and your words or guidance may seem to offer exactly what others need to hear, even if you haven’t planned to say anything in particular.

Deeper Insight: Dolores Cannon spoke of the energy fields that spiritual healers emit. This energy is both magnetic and healing. When someone needs comfort or support, their energy field is drawn to yours, much like a moth to a flame. This energetic pull is a direct result of the healing frequencies you radiate. Spiritual healers often do not need to consciously “do” anything to help others—they simply offer their presence, and the healing energy flows naturally. This attraction to you as a healer might be one of the most common signs of your latent abilities.

5. You Feel Connected to Nature

For spiritual healers, nature is a sanctuary—a place where you can recharge, find inspiration, and reconnect with your core essence. If you feel a deep connection to natural spaces like forests, oceans, mountains, or even gardens, this is a sign that your energy is in harmony with the Earth’s healing vibrations. Many spiritual healers find that their energy flows more freely when they are in nature, and they are often rejuvenated by time spent outdoors.

Deeper Insight: The Earth itself is a powerful source of healing energy, and spiritual healers often feel this connection more intensely than others. Being in nature allows you to ground yourself and align your energy with the natural rhythms of the planet. Dolores Cannon noted that spiritual healers, through their work, are often conduits for the healing energy that flows through the Earth. This is why natural environments—full of life force and energy—are so rejuvenating to those with a healer’s calling. Being in nature also helps you stay balanced and emotionally centered, which is crucial when you are helping others heal.

6. You Experience Physical Sensations During Energy Shifts

Many spiritual healers report experiencing physical sensations—such as warmth, tingling, or pressure—when energy shifts occur. You may feel these sensations during meditation, when channeling healing energy to someone, or when simply being in the presence of someone in need of healing. These physical signs indicate that your energy field is responding to the energies around you, activating your healing abilities.

Deeper Insight: Dolores Cannon discussed how the human body acts as a channel for healing energy. When a healer is in alignment with their purpose, their energy flows through their body and hands, often creating physical sensations as they move. These experiences are not just random; they are confirmations that the healer’s energy is active and working. Learning to interpret these sensations can help you fine-tune your healing techniques and understand when the energy is flowing correctly—or when you need to adjust.

7. You’ve Undergone Personal Transformation

Spiritual healers often face significant challenges or life-altering experiences that serve as catalysts for their growth. These transformative periods—whether through personal loss, illness, or emotional trials—are often necessary for the healer to develop the wisdom, compassion, and resilience needed to guide others through their own journeys of healing.

Deeper Insight: According to Dolores Cannon, these transformative experiences are part of a soul contract. Healers often undergo trials that challenge their beliefs, perceptions, and emotional capacity. These difficult times are meant to awaken a deeper understanding of life’s suffering and the processes of healing. By overcoming these personal challenges, healers not only transform themselves but also gain the tools and empathy to support others in their healing journeys.

8. You’re Fascinated by Metaphysical Topics

If you find yourself irresistibly drawn to subjects like reincarnation, past lives, energy fields, or the mysteries of the subconscious mind, this curiosity is a sign that you are in tune with the spiritual realm. Spiritual healers often feel a deep need to understand the unseen forces that govern life. This intellectual curiosity is not just about learning; it is about understanding how to work within these realms to facilitate healing.

Deeper Insight: Dolores Cannon’s work delved deeply into these metaphysical topics, teaching that spiritual healers must explore the mysteries of the universe to fully understand their role in it. By understanding concepts like past lives, the power of thought, and the interconnectedness of all beings, you gain deeper insight into your own healing abilities. This knowledge can help you better understand the energies at play when working with others and refine your approach to healing.

9. You Have an Inner Sense of Purpose

You’ve likely always felt that you were meant for something greater—something beyond the ordinary. Whether or not you’ve consciously identified it, there is an inner knowing that you are here to help others profoundly. This sense of purpose often manifests as a deep, guiding force that leads you toward spiritual growth and healing.

Deeper Insight: Dolores Cannon emphasized that those with a deep sense of purpose are often in alignment with their soul’s mission. Healers may not always know exactly what their path looks like, but they feel a constant drive to serve others and to make a difference. This sense of purpose can be a powerful motivator that propels you to keep learning, growing, and seeking out opportunities to assist others.

10. You Radiate Positivity

Even in the face of adversity, you maintain an unwavering belief in the goodness of people and the universe. Your optimism isn’t naive; it’s based on a deep, soul-level understanding that everything has a purpose, even if it’s not immediately clear. This positive energy uplifts those around you, often inspiring them to find hope and healing in difficult circumstances.

Deeper Insight: Spiritual healers radiate a healing energy that comes from within. This positivity isn’t just an emotional trait—it is a vibrational frequency that influences others. Dolores Cannon believed that spiritual healers contribute to the collective healing of humanity by holding space for others to experience love, light, and hope. Your positivity acts as a magnet, drawing others to you and offering them a sense of peace and reassurance.

Embracing Your Role as a Spiritual Healer

Recognizing these signs is just the beginning. If you identify with these traits, you may be on the path to becoming a healer. To nurture your abilities and explore your potential, here are some practical steps you can take:

Learn and Explore: Seek out knowledge on spiritual healing through books, courses, or workshops. Dolores Cannon’s The Convoluted Universe series offers a deep dive into metaphysical topics that can enhance your understanding.

Practice Energy Work: Whether you explore Reiki, meditation, or other energy healing modalities, regular practice helps strengthen your abilities. Pay attention to how your energy responds to different environments and individuals.

Find Community: Surround yourself with like-minded individuals who can support your journey. Being part of a spiritual community provides opportunities to learn, share, and grow together.

Seek Guidance: Consider working with a mentor or experienced healer who can help you refine your skills and guide you on your path. A mentor can offer invaluable insights and perspectives that can accelerate your growth.

Prioritize Self-Healing: Remember that your ability to heal others is deeply tied to your own health. Dedicate time to nurturing yourself emotionally, physically, and spiritually. Regular self-care, including meditation, reflection, and energy clearing, is essential to sustaining your healing abilities.

Final Thoughts

Being a spiritual healer is both a gift and a responsibility. By embracing this role, you not only assist others in their healing journeys but contribute to the collective well-being of humanity. As Dolores Cannon taught, the path of healing is not about achieving perfection, but about being authentic and loving in your service to others. If you recognize these signs within yourself, consider it a call to step into your power, explore your potential, and begin your journey as a healer.
