Healing -- The Power to Mend Wounds

In a past life, you possessed the power of healing. Perhaps you were a healer who cured illness with herbs and prayer, or a saint whose touch alone could ease suffering. A light that soothes wounds is woven into your soul. Even in this life, your mere presence is enough to make people feel at ease.

You are someone who feels other people's pain as if it were your own. You instantly notice when a friend is struggling even if they say nothing, and when someone cries beside you, your own heart aches in sympathy. Animals and small children approach you without any guard -- drawn by the warm healer's energy that flows from within you. You're naturally attracted to meditation, healing music, and herbal teas, and when caring for someone in pain, you've felt a warm something flowing out from deep inside you.

Your greatest strength is a healing presence that works just by being there. Tension dissolves near you, and hearts unclench. Stories that people have kept locked away feel safe enough to share in your company. This ability -- honed across past lifetimes of tending wounded souls -- still shines in this life, and you are the first face people think of in their darkest moments.

However, the healer's greatest trap is neglecting yourself while caring for others. You stay up all night listening to someone's story yet can't speak of your own pain, and the thought "if I rest, who will care for them?" keeps you from ever allowing yourself a break. Healer of a past life, you deserve to be healed by someone too. Just as you can't pour from an empty cup, filling yourself first is the wisest way to save even more people.
