The words "occult" and "esoteric" can sometimes be associated with mystery, secrecy, and even fear. However, at their core, these words simply refer to knowledge or practices that are not widely known or understood.
The word "occult" comes from the Latin word "occultus," which means "hidden" or "concealed." In modern usage, the term refers to practices or beliefs that are not recognized by mainstream science or religion. Examples of occult practices might include divination, astrology, or spiritualism. However, it is important to note that not all occult practices are necessarily harmful or dangerous.
The word "esoteric" comes from the Greek word "esoterikos," which means "inner" or "hidden." This term is often used to describe knowledge or teachings that are intended for a select group of people, rather than being widely available to the public. Esoteric teachings might include spiritual or mystical practices, but can also refer to more mundane knowledge that is not widely known or understood.
When it comes to an "esoteric healer" like me, it is important to remember that the term simply means that my healing practices are not widely known or understood. This does not necessarily mean that they are "scary" or dangerous. In fact, my teachings on meditation, mindfulness, plant medicine, akashic records, intuition development, and energy healing are intended to promote peace, relaxation, and well-being.
While my work may draw inspiration from esoteric or occult traditions, this does not necessarily make it any more frightening than other forms of alternative medicine or spiritual practice. Ultimately, it is up to each individual to decide what practices feel right for them, and to approach new ideas with an open mind and a healthy dose of skepticism and receptivity.
