Read through this about three times.

•         Print out a copy for your notebook.

•         Look at your ministry. What are the stressor points? What is your week like? Develop your spiritual care plan. Write a brief description of it.

•         Post your findings on the ULC Discussion Board.

 

     I am disabled through Social Security, so all of my ministry is Volunteer and not paid.

 

    Since my ministry has been mostly volunteer, I have had need to take breaks sometimes as often as after each service I performed for someone.  The counselling and case work can often be draining; yet rewarding.   

    I begin my week by listening to activity on the scanner, or awaiting a call from the hospital or some other agency in need of a Heathen/Pagan Minister. Or just a healer to come.  

      I have tried to work in such a manner that Mondays are for personal rest and relaxation.  Often, I have gone fishing in my canoe just to take a break and enjoy God's gifts.  

     I do try to spend about an hour every morning and evening in Spiritual Contemplation in my Therapy Room.   It is there that I can find contentment with what I have done each day and the grounding necessary for the next service I am to be of.  

     Occasionally, I consider what it would be like to be a paid Pastor or Chaplain; But I think that would place restrictions upon my abilities as well as  restraints upon what I can cover as the minister and healer I think I am.  So, I have opted not to seek such a relationship/employment thus far.

I have been a hands on Reiki Master for quite some years now.    I know it is possible to do distance healing; however, I have found when the people are comfortable with me, a laying on of hands has proven to be much more "effective technique".   I have also learned other forms of energy work that I can perform such as with the Chakras and energy work.  Sometimes I like to lay a hand on or just barely off the skin, so close you can feel the heat in nearness.   I find that In my minds eye I can see the auras and currents of the exchange of energies that are meant to heal.    I went a step further a few years back and had two spirals tattooed on my hands… one reversed.   I see it as the left pulls (bad/negative/toxic)  energies in and the right (good/positive/Healing) energies are dispensed.    I use this technique often in my shamanic  healings.  ( also currently taking that ULC course Master of Shamanism).

      I think once you take on the duties of serving and being and Instrument of the Divine, you may be used knowingly or unconsciously to serve the purpose and intent  of the Divine.    That is how I like to perceive it.   IF that is the case, you will not do anything that is wrong – by laws of man or otherwise.  That is my Belief.
