Being a spiritual healer is considered a divine gift in many cultures. Some people believe that this gift is passed down from generation to generation.

Just like DNA is passed down from generation to generation and slightly changed by each individual’s choices, our spirit can be highly developed by some of our ancestors and the gifts they have acquired might be passed down to us.

However, it’s not necessarily something you inherit. Sometimes an event, a trauma or a special activity can unlock the healing potential of someone’s spirit.

If you’re a healer, chances are there are signs, signals, and cues all around you. The key is knowing where to look.

You don’t need to know a medium or see an intuitive reader of any kind to know that you have a healing gift.

All you need to do is look at your own life.
