Most people want healing—but not everyone is ready for it. And some don’t even realize they’re blocking it.
As a spiritual healer, I’ve seen people ask for healing and reject it in the same breath—because healing means change, and not everyone is ready to let go of what illness gives them.
That doesn’t mean they want to be ill. But sometimes, it’s easier to accept illness than to fight for transformation.
Without realizing it, someone may hold onto illness—not because they want to be sick, but because part of them is afraid of losing the care, the connection, or the sense of purpose it brings.
I’ve seen this. I’ve felt it in the field around those asking for healing.
A healing service was called to lay hands on a man. On the surface, it looked sincere—but I could feel it was for show. He didn’t want people with problems—or those he disliked—laying hands on him. He was spiritually protected.
Fortunately, I could see his guardian spirit—small and showing itself, blocking me completely.
And it was a relief, because I didn’t want to work on anyone who didn’t want to receive healing through me.
My intentions were good, but my help wasn’t wanted.
As others laid hands, the energy grew heavy. The weight wasn’t falling on him—it was falling on me. I was pushed to my knees. And that’s when it happened: I hit the floor, and my spiritual sight came on.
That’s how it works for me. Not when I ask for it, but when Spirit needs me to see.
Despite my desire to help, I was not permitted.
The spirit stood its ground. It wasn’t malicious—it was simply clear.
I respected that.
And I rose, with the help of another.
Because truth reveals itself to a seer.
I’ve worked with people who said they were ready—until it got close. Then something in their vibration pulled back. A quiet resistance. A soul still choosing.
Healing works with you—not on you.
If you’re not ready, I step back. No judgment. No pressure.
If your mouth says “Yes” but your vibration says “Not yet,” Spirit won’t force its way in.
You have to decide:
These are sacred questions.
So if you’re receiving free distance healing, pause and check your thoughts. Your healing may already be at the door—but your thoughts may be the ones keeping it locked.
