Subject: Opinions Needed!

Hi all. Well I'm having a bit of a dilema that I think some of you might be able to help with. To update those of you who don't know, I have quite a few of my celtic & chakra pieces in a gallery here in Minneapolis. The owner has several classes at the gallery available and they like the artists who have their stuff there to teach these classes. We have recently discussed me teaching a class on gemstone energy healing and using gemstones in ones everyday life. I have the knowledge and have studied this myself for almost 10 years. My dilema is there really isn't a specific title or credit program available for it and there are a few of them on-line but they're all different. I feel that I have my own way of doing things and I would basically leave it up to the students to take the info I teach and use it in their own way. Do you feel that I would be qualified not having a special certification or some type of energy healing degree? I feel in my heart I have the knowledge to pass this info on to others but I still feel that others might not take me seriously enough because they don't see a piece of paper saying I'm qualified. I will eventually take my Reiki training which will be another tool to use with the stones and I do have several customers I've done healing pieces for that would give me recommendations. I don't know if it's that I'm scared to go with the next step of my "journey" or what. Any thot's would really be appreciated. Thanks much and hugs to all!

[> I think you're breaking new ground, and no pieces of paper exist. Think of yourself as a scientist publishing a new discovery. Nothing existed before, so he or she has no paper qualifications on the topic. You could state what you have done yourself in a clear manner and let the students judge from that resume whether the subject is for them or not. Hope that helps. -- Ron, 08:36:08 12/07/03 Sun

[> What Ron said! There is no degree or any official paper on this, so go ahead and invent something yourself!*g* Have fun teaching, I bet it will be great! -- Martina, 08:58:10 12/08/03 Mon

[> Lori, I don't think that any piece of paper shows whether a person is gifted or not. It just shows that someone has the money to take a class. People know you are gifted....anyone who has any sensitivity can tell. The people who need what you have to give will find you, and won't care if you don't have that piece of paper as "proof" of your gift. Teach!!!! If that is what you feel called to do...TEACH!!!! -- Betsy, 16:50:33 12/08/03 Mon

[> Thanks you guys. I guess I need to get some stones for myself for courage *wink*. I am planning on going ahead with the class. And from the point of view that everyone looks at energy healing from a different angle and not everything will work for everyone! I appreciate the support!!! -- L., 20:17:37 12/08/03 Mon
