Should I Accept A Healing Apprenticeship?

This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Kaitlin.

Kaitlin: Hi, Bob & Cynthia. It’s been a couple of years since you did a private reading for me. How are you? I have a question for you. In my reading, The Council said that on my path I would find different things I’d be interested in, and I would be a healer. I have found this to be true. I found something that I’m interested in that I want to pursue. I feel a little scared because it would be something I practice on my own, and I don’t know if it would bring a stable income.

Council: Isn’t it wonderful to be scared of something new, and then change your thought about it? “Wow! I’ve created something new for myself.” This will be an adventure. It’s always an adventure – scary at first – when you learn something new. But we will say here, if you enjoy it, do it. Face the fear and do it anyway, and it will bring to you an abundance of whatever it is that you need. So we would say, all spirits set up things that are a little frightening or new to learn. We’re all here to learn, not just to sit around.

So you can be of service to people. We see that would be very good for you. You can become great in the arts. You can become helpful to the less fortunate. Anything that brings you of service and makes you feel good, that’s the way to go. And so whatever it is, if you have to do it alone, you do it alone. but you do it quietly. You don’t have to tell anybody what you’re up to. Just try it and see where it takes you. Once again, one thing will lead to another, to another, to another, and you will have experiences that bring you joy.

Kaitlin: However, that’s not even my question. Besides this healing modality that I want to study, I was recently offered to be an apprentice to become a Pilates teacher after doing just two classes.

Council: Wonderful.

Kaitlin: This feels like something that the universe just handed to me.

Council: It handed it to you because you created it. Nothing that comes to you is not created by you. And so you have an offer of something different. And how does that feel?

Kaitlin: And it would provide a great income. However, there are things that I want to do, like travel on my own this year, and be a bit more free. And I don’t know if I want to commit to a year-long apprenticeship at this time, or even if I am interested in teaching Pilates in the first place.

Council: There is no wrong choice. If you agree to do this, you are making a commitment, and you need to learn to fulfill the commitment. But it’s only a year, and then you have learned things. You have met special people along the way, and you will get some joy from it, and then a year passes quickly, and then you can move on to travel and do other things. 

So one will bring you an abundance of money, which will help you eventually get to do all the other things you want to do. So it could make you feel stuck, but then you change it to, this is preparing me, this is helping me get what I need to go on my new adventure of traveling and learning other things. So it’s how you look at it. And then if you feel – thinking about teaching – being still for a year, if that’s so horrible for you to commit to, then you don’t. There is no wrong choice here.

You think of it as being helpful, to prepare you for what you want to do, to get you more money, to get you more experience around people. Or you go straight to traveling around and doing other things. And so the choice, of course, as always is yours. And there is no wrong choice because if you commit to this, after the year you’re off and doing other things you want to do. Isn’t that a wonderful way to experience so many different things within a year or two when you start traveling?

And so we would say, think of it and decide what feels good in your body. What feels good when you think of it? Teaching for a year?  “Oh, you’re a teacher.” People will come to you to learn how to do things. You will help people with how to do things they couldn’t do before. You’ll help people to feel good. That’s a wonderful thing. But if that’s not what you do, you will go off and do other things and still be of service. And so when you think of it that way, the choice will be easier for you to make and not so fearful.

Kaitlin: Do you think I’m silly to turn down this offer? And should I accept this opportunity because it was literally handed to me, and it’s a great offer? Or even though it scares me, it’s okay to say no and not commit to it now? I just feel like I’m not sure. even though it’s a wonderful offer. But at the same time, maybe I should take it because it was so easy and just unfolded for me. I can be a bit stubborn, so I’d love your opinion.

Council: First we must tell you, we’ll never tell you what to do. That’s your free will. We would tell you how to think about it, how to prepare for it, and then make a choice and tell you it will feel good when you make the choice. There are no shoulds – you should do this, you should do that. Everything will come around, you’ll be on your path, and you’ll get to where you’re supposed to go.

We’d say, instead of feeling miserable or fearful, and thinking you could be wrong, let that go and start thinking, “Wow, I have a great opportunity. Either way, there’s a great opportunity in front of me, and now let’s see what feels good to me.” So picture yourself teaching. Picture yourself traveling. What is it that you see? And which one feels better? And then you’ll make the choice, but you will get exactly where you want to be.

And so we send you love. And we send everyone happy feelings. Enjoy the day. Enjoy your life. Be grateful. Be happy. Think of things that you have done that brought you joy. Imagine things you can do that bring you joy, and then move forward.
