Decisions, decisions, decisions.
Whether you’re new to energy healing or an experienced practitioner, there are times when the options in front of us can make the process of deciding which way to go more difficult.
I completely understand this, as I recall over a decade ago being in this same situation. What do you learn first, right? “Should I meditate first? Should I learn about Chakras? Or do I begin with Reiki?“
These tips will help everyone.
What’s more, no matter where you start, because energy is everything and intertwined in all that we do, the next question is well…”what next?” again!
My aim today is to simplify the answer to the “what next” question. Whether you’re just new to energy healing or you’re trying to decipher what action you should now take, I’m hopeful this will help you!
Tip 1. Clear your mind.
One of the most difficult things in today’s world is keeping the “clutter” out of our minds. There is so much “noise” in our world now, which is impressing upon us *other* people’s opinions, desires, needs, expectations, and so forth.
The first thing we should do is allow some time, any time, to meditate. It doesn’t have to be long, 5 minutes or less.
Note: I provide my 5-minute Stress Relief meditation for free in many of my courses).
Tip 2. Simplify your actions.
Many times doing and having more seems like the goal in life. But for the process of evolving our inner selves – our spiritual healing selves – many times the goal should be less.
What I mean by this is, when it’s time to decide to take your first (or next) step on your healing journey, pick your next step and dedicate yourself to that step. There is no race here, no need to overcomplicate, over-do, and multi-task multiple modalities, learning, training, and practice.
That simply isn’t required. To become a truly loving healer – you just need to dive deep into your heart, understand and embrace the “thing” you’re focusing on right now, and enjoy it. The other “things” will come, you will learn more over time. Remember, you’re evolving yourself as a healer, not a juggler!
Tip 3. Follow your heart
I get asked so many times, “where should I start, what should I do?” And I always say, follow your heart. When deciding what’s next, noticing what feels right to you is most likely your next step.
But when I say to follow what feels right – I mean from your heart. I don’t mean follow the ego desires of “Oh, I want this so that feels right“.
If your heart squirms, tightens, or drops (saddens), those are signs of distress which means, whatever decision you’re looking at, it’s not likely the right next step for you. Your ego mind might be saying “yeah yeah yeah!“, but your heart is going “no no no!” Listen to your heart, always.
In saying all this, I realise if you’re new to energy healing, or perhaps going through a bit of an unbalanced energetic period (which can happen to all of us) you may not have a strong heart connection or ability to listen to (or trust) your intuitive self.
In lieu of those abilities, I offer my last tip…
Tip 4. Begin with Reiki 1, then 2, then Master.
I created my Reiki 1, 2, and Master course as a “bundle” of all levels together because they complement each other. You can go as fast or slow as you like, so long as you always do Tip 3 above!
In that course, I literally take you from the very basics of explaining energy healing, all the way through to Master level. I would say, for those who resonate with my energy, that my Reiki 1, 2, and Master course is the best place to start.
And it doesn’t matter if you’re brand new or experienced – it’s still provides the greatest springboard for the next steps.
During or just after the Level 1 component, you may want to pause and dive deeper into basic Meditation and Chakra healing.
Then as you progress through and complete Level 2, understanding Energetic Protection and Space Clearing is a great idea. Working with Pets & Animals might also be of interest at this point.
At Master level and after, moving through my Distance Healing Specialty and Advanced Chakra healing courses will really complement your inner evolution.
Love & light to you
Irrespective of what your next step is, I just want to thank you for taking it! Our world needs more love & light, and no matter how much or little you’re adding – your efforts are valuable and valued. Namaste sweet souls, and good luck!
Note: for those who enroll into my Ultimate Healer Bundles, I actually provide the pathway of where to start, quite clearly, after enrollment. So these tips are for those who are just taking courses here and there, as they feel it’s right for them.

Dear teacher,
It is so nice to see your cheerful face again, and very reassuring.
I followed you through two courses on – that other learning platform… 🙂
If someone asked me for advice, I would recommend starting out small, celebrating the achievement of a small goal before attempting something more ambitious. That is how I teach my classes in mathematics and statistics – celebrate the easier things at the beginning, to give students more confidence.
For that reason, I would advise a student to learn about the chakras first and meditate first, before trying reiki. Reiki presupposes a little familiarity with the chakras, and the peace of mind from meditation. Going in this order, perhaps a student will get more out of the reiki course. At least, that is how it worked for me… 🙂
All the best! – Hal
