NOW CHECK THE CONCLUSIONS BELOW TO FIND OUT WHETHER YOU ARE A NATURAL-BORN HEALER, WHETHER YOU HAVE TO WORK AT IT, OR WHETHER YOU SHOULD JUST FORGET THE WHOLE THING…

CONCLUSIONS

If you scored 37 or over, you’re a fully-fledged, natural-born healer. You probably realise that you’re a bit special and you may even have put your skills into action. You’re a kind, sympathetic and sensitive – some would say psychic – human being and you do all you can to make your loved ones at ease. Even if you’re a bit on the shy side (and many people who land in this category may be), you’re extremely popular and find it easy to get on with others. The only real problem about being blessed with a natural ability to heal is that it can be quite draining and you may not be as healthy as you should be. Also, the conflict of knowing you should be using your powers constructively and the feeling that you’d really rather be doing something else can cause a few headaches (quite literally sometimes). If you want to succeed in life, you must pay special attention to your health and give in to your own needs once in a while. Whether or not you’ll turn your talents into a career is yet to be seen, but regardless of that, you will use your ability to one degree or another in the future, and if you use it wisely this will benefit you and the people in your life.

If you scored between 24 and 35 points, you have a large amount of healing ability, but haven’t really had the opportunity (or the inclination perhaps) put it to use yet. You’re spiritually aware, but you’re also logical, practical and realistic, and this makes you quite a well-balanced individual. You’re probably very interested in developing your psychic skills, but may be at a bit of a loss as to how to go about it. Reading up on how to develop your ESP and checking out books which are specifically about healing may point you in the right direction. In the meantime, don’t deny your feelings and go out of your way to put your talents (ones you know you’ve got) to the test. It might be hard at first and you may be a bit embarrassed about attempting to use your healing talents, and this is the one thing that’s stopping you from taking it further. Which is a shame, because you could do a lot of good if you really put your mind to it. So why not give it a try and see what happens?

If you scored between 12 and 23, you’re a loving and giving person and are more psychically gifted than you know. You may have had some kind of brush with the paranormal, so you’re not completely dismissive of all things odd. Which is a good thing, because you’re a bit of an oddity yourself. While you know you’re capable of making people feel good, you tend to hold yourself back – perhaps due to a lack of self-confidence or maybe due to innate cynicism, both of which may be preventing you from developing spiritually. You want to help people but don’t really know where to begin. The first thing to do is to be more accepting of your talents, then try to be more positive about yourself and others. Instead of looking for all the negative aspects of life, concentrate instead on all the good things. Try to be more expressive about the way you think and feel and don’t worry so much about what others think of you. It’s only when you’ve sorted out all this personal stuff that you can relax and let your natural healing ability come flooding out. Because it will.

If you scored 11 or less, you think psychic healing is a right load of old twaddle! If someone’s ill, as far as you’re concerned, they should go to the doctor and get some antibiotics – you believe that all that faffing around, laying on of hands and sending the “patient” positive mind energy is a lot of hippy nonsense. You’re not even vaguely interested in the paranormal – or anything you might consider “weird” in fact. If a friend or relative is ill, you’re not totally unsympathetic, but you’re hardly Florence Nightingale material either. You’ve never known anyone with healing ability and you’ve seen no evidence to even suggest that there could be something in it: until you do, you intend to remain completely close-minded on the subject. If you woke one morning to discover you could heal the sick and cure the lame, you’d do all you could to make some cash out of it – not because you’re mercenary but because you’re not one to look the proverbial gift horse in the mouth. But don’t get excited just yet – you’re so sure that these things can’t happen, they probably never will. Until you change your attitude, that is…
