interactions with ailing children at the Theosophical camp where I was teaching crafts. There I was able to offer help to open-minded, trusting youngsters, and practice my "gift" without fear of scorn or ostracism. This opportunity was of primary importance for me. I gained confidence in the healing process in a relatively short period of time, because I came in contact with a constant flow of minor ailments in children who were receptive to healing.

I thought that I would be a more responsible healer if I understood more about the workings of the body's systems and organs, and could explain to the patient a bit about what was going on. I also thought I should know what kind of healer I was, and to do that, I would have to become knowledgeable in some system of healing that people had heard about, one that was acceptable to those who were open to alternative healing techniques. |

I started to take classes in Polarity Therapy and later, Reiki Healing, which are methods of energy healing; but whenever I tried to follow a specific system of procedures and techniques, I found that my analytical |
