The Healer does not smoke or drink stimulants. Joyful singing, chanting or even crying soulfully leads to that moment of release from the need for artificial stimulation. The Healer remains humble since his or her support comes from deeds and accumulated respect. The only measure of a Healer's ability is the outcome, not their training nor their lineage. The Healer understands that experience is superior to belief.
Pity is transformed into loving-kindness by skilful action.
Faith and Belief are like trees without roots - practical experience is needed to effect changes in physical, emotional and spiritual states. The Healer is aware of the power of contagious proximity. If someone yawns, we follow suit. If I laugh, you do also. Without effort symbiosis occurs.
