As a services facilitator or \u201cbalancer\u201d I went through a thorough and multi-dimensional or faceted training, and honestly, my training still continues as there is always more to learn.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">The training period is unique for each of us \u201cbalancers\u201d&#8211;certainly was for me. Truly an apprenticeship, this training period can last a year or a decade or more. The first stage is just observing the technique of doing the service and we practice \u201cdoing\u201d absolutely nothing in order to attune to the energy of Spirit and the Mystical Traveler Consciousness that is present in each session. Much easier said than done for some of us, this is an unhooking, detaching process. We learning to be a witness and hold in the Light of the Holy Spirit and the Christ for each person\u2019s perfect unfolding.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">In the next stage we integrate and practice doing the different techniques. increasing our sensitivity to the flow of energy and staying attuned to how best to serve, remembering at all times that it is Spirit doing the service, not us. That the balancing happens between each person and God, and we truly are witnesses in a very sacred space. In the final stages we balancers in training do the service as an approved balancer watches and checks, until we are approved to go solo.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Through all these years I still find that each service is new. I\u2019m amazed at the miracle of how, after a service is done, whatever has been said or let go during the session disappears from my memory as I walk out the door of the room. There is always a discovery, something to learn from each and every time. I find myself saying \u201cThank you, Lord, Thank you, Traveler\u201d for allowing me to witness and also receive of your grace, your joy, your love and compassion in action.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><i>Angel Harper, on MSIA staff and the MSIA Travel Coordinator for 27 years, is a Washington, D.C. born mother of three and grandmother of seven, so far. <\/i><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.msia.org\/experience\/services\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-18172\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-18172\" src=\"https:\/\/www.msia.org\/newdayherald\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/Screen-Shot-2016-01-20-at-3.17.03-PM.png\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2016-01-20 at 3.17.03 PM\" width=\"932\" height=\"261\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.msia.org\/newdayherald\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/Screen-Shot-2016-01-20-at-3.17.03-PM.png 932w, https:\/\/www.msia.org\/newdayherald\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/Screen-Shot-2016-01-20-at-3.17.03-PM-300x84.png 300w, https:\/\/www.msia.org\/newdayherald\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/Screen-Shot-2016-01-20-at-3.17.03-PM-768x215.png 768w, https:\/\/www.msia.org\/newdayherald\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/Screen-Shot-2016-01-20-at-3.17.03-PM-578x162.png 578w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 932px) 100vw, 932px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">Are you\u00a0<\/span>interested in scheduling <span class=\"s1\">MSIA\u00a0<\/span>spiritual counseling services?<span class=\"s1\"><br \/>\n<\/span>Contact the <span class=\"s1\">MSIA\u00a0<\/span>office:\u00a0<span class=\"s1\">(323) 737-4055<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.msia.org\/experience\/msia_services\">Or click here to learn more<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>This article was published in the <strong>January\u00a0| February\u00a02016<\/strong>\u00a0edition of the New Day Herald Online Magazine, available via <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/issuu.com\/msiaorg\/docs\/ndh_2016_01\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ISSUU<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Browse the magazine below by using right and left arrows.
