I had an interesting thought today (yes, just oneā€¦ one interesting thought, not one thought). We can all be healers, and it doesn’t take any training at all. Now, I know that most people are perplexed at my last statement. But read on. Enlightenment comes to those who read. J

People go through lost of training to learn methods of healing. And those are all good. Those methods can work miracles. But it is possible to work minor miracles with no training at all. How you ask. Well, quite simply. Smile.

There is no greater magic than what you can do with a kind word and a smile (or each of them separately). 

I was in the grocery store the other day and smiled at the checkout clerk as I made my transaction. That right there seemed to have changed them around. They looked a little frazzled up until then. At that moment, there was a noticeable change, like the storm had passed, and calm had returned. That simple act made that much of a difference. 

Sometimes just being pleasant to others is enough to do some healing and make changes. Sometimes it can do quite a lot. 

So, you want to be a healer? Real easy. Smile. You’ll be amazed at what you can accomplish.
