Doing that professionally with any consistent degree of effectiveness would be extraordinarily complex because in a world tainted by money power lies greed and commercialism it is very easy to fall from a perfect state of unconditional love and acceptance necessary to aid the entity to be healed.

i am a professionally trained bodyworker. i have at least 3000 hours of formal training in massage therapy, anatomy, physiology, and a host of various energy therapies. i have worked on thousands of clients over the course of two decades. i don't call myself a 'healer'. i do have a good understanding of how the physical body works. i also have an understanding of how energy seems to work in relation to the human body/mind/spirit. i know techniques for working with them...some that i learned in formal training and some that i have figured out while working with clients.
in my experience, healers don't heal. healers participate in a healing process using their skills, knowledge and/or gifts. some of my clients have had profound results, but they were the client's results, not mine. the techniques i use are intended to help the client find a place of dynamic equilibrium in their body/mind/spirit from which they can heal. i may help them find and release blocked energy. i may manually manipulate soft tissue into a more balanced state. either of these things may release emotion. or not. depends on the client and the issues they bring into their state of dis - ease. i do not bring expectations into any interaction with a client. i do what i know how to do. it is up to the client to accept the process or not. (and just because they come to me and are willing to pay me does not mean they are necessarily ready to let go of whatever the issue is. could be they still have things to learn from the issue, but desire that the intensity be eased a bit along the way.) sometimes a person needs a long process to get from where they are to where they want to be, rather than a miracle cure in one session. sometimes saving someone's life isn't part of the process....a client who dies is not necessarily a failure of the healing process.
i DO receive compensation for the work i do. generally money, as that is the most commonly accepted form of exchange in our society. i am as worthy of making a living to support myself and my family as anyone else working an honest trade. i have also been willing to accept a fair trade when it felt appropriate. and i do give my work to the universe in cases where that seems appropriate as well. what i do has value, and deserves compensation. paying it forward is valid compensation, but until the landlord will accept bodywork in trade for rent (or offer it as a pay it forward sort of thing), i do need some cash coming in as well.
