A "healing crisis" is a real thing, although it's meaning is generally misunderstood. It is usually experienced as a period of hard time shortly after a healing, as if the healing made the client's situation worse - after all, people get healings to get healed!
Symptoms of such periods can be physical illness, emotional difficulties, or issues coming up. They often limit the client's overall well-being and tend to capture the center of attention, so to speak.
Although many people would rather not have them, they tend to come around as they please. A particularly auspicious time seems to be after a healing - and there's a good reason for that.
When done properly, all healings help clients release issues. Sometimes, these issues have served as buffers for even deeper issues. Once those buffers are gone, deeper issues get an opportunity to emerge.
But they don't come up just to make our lives difficult. They emerge because the healing we just received made us strong enough to handle them and let them go. Thus a healing crisis can serve as an incredibly valuable time to know ourselves better.
The Truth within us knows that to be the case, so it occasionally invites the issues to emerge. (Maybe once for every 15-20 healings.) This is exactly the time to book another healing, especially because the crisis brings the issues to the surface, making them even more accessible to healing tools. It is bad news for the ego, but we are not our ego anyway.
