As Traditional Healers, we are to be mindful of the people we associate ourselves with. Moreso, when we involve ourselves romantically. Our Ancestors have emphasised on the importance of being selective when we date, cautioning us on energy exchanges. At times, we become so consumed by the thought of being loved. As well as the feeling this has on our flesh, that we forget to be mindful of our true selves as Healers. Fixing our focus on the idea of finding the ideal life partner. We forget that it can be detrimental to our wellbeing to immerse ourselves so deeply in someone else. It can get as bad as losing material belongings and affecting our health. As a result of our Ancestors trying to communicate with us, while we are unavailable to them and slacking in our spiritual work. All the while giving our all in romantic relationships. We lose all that is important to us as a sign from our Ancestors that we have shifted our focus from our true mission in order to fulfil our desires. I am sharing this because I know a number of Traditional Healers who have suffered from becoming overly committed to their romantic relationships. Believe me it is ok to be single and alone. Don’t allow yourself to feel pressurised by social media to find a partner. There is even a growing number of female Sangoma’s wanting to commit to polygamous relationships, in the name of having a man. 1 Peter 2:2, says “crave the spiritual milk which by it you may be nurtured into salvation.” In this instance, the spiritual milk is the bible and our Ancestors. This bible scripture urges us as Traditional Healers to not lose sight of our path. Let us be more cautious of the people, surroundings and things we feed our flesh that affect our spiritual work. What we enjoy physically is twice the suffering to our spiritual being, if whatever we engage in does not stand to benefit the growth of our true assignment, but take away from it.
