Healers, Stop Performing: The Real Work Is Felt, Not Always Filmed

The moment your healing work becomes about who’s watching instead of who’s healing—you have LEFT the path. And I am calling you back to it.

That’s why you’re reading this now.

Some of the most powerful moments of my work have never been recorded. Not because I don’t have a camera. Not because I couldn’t put on a show. But because Spirit moves in spaces unseen. Some things are too sacred for the lens.

Too raw for the algorithm. Too divine for the digital world to consume.

Healing Is Not a Performance

We are in an era where spirituality is being swallowed by spectacle. The sacred is being sacrificed at the altar of social media. Likes, comments, and shares have become the new offerings, and some of you have traded in your altar cloths for content calendars.

I need you to ask yourself: Are you really channeling? Or are you curating? Are you really in trance? Or are you performing?

Healers, if the camera is always on, when does the REAL work happen? When does Spirit whisper? When does the unseen move? If your practice cannot exist without an audience, then who are you really serving?

Some of You Have Let the Algorithm Become Your Altar

Let me be clear—it’s okay to be seen. There is nothing wrong with sharing glimpses of your work. Your visibility is a beacon for those who need you. But when the desire to be seen outweighs the desire to heal, you have left the work and entered the world of performance.

Let’s be honest—some of you are chasing virality, not victory. You are crafting content, not calling in Spirit. You are recording rituals, but neglecting the real work.

This is your wake-up call.

The ancestors are not entertained. They are watching. And they are waiting.

The Power of the Unseen

Do you really think the most powerful ceremonies of our ancestors were recorded? Do you believe their deepest healings were neatly packaged into a 60-second clip?

No. The real work was done in the quiet. In the shadows. In the trenches of the unseen.

I have wailed, tranced, drummed, and called forth spirits that shifted entire bloodlines. And not once did I pause to grab my phone. Because when I am in the work, I am not here for proof—I am here for transformation.

Reclaim Your Discernment

This is not a call to disappear. This is a call to discern.

Share your light, but do not dim its power by making it a commodity. Some things must remain sacred. Some healings must happen in the dark. Some moments belong to Spirit alone.

The next time you feel the urge to press “record,” ask yourself:

📿 Is this moment meant to be captured, or is it meant to be FELT?

📿 Am I doing this for impact, or for engagement?

📿 Would my ancestors be filming this, or would they be fully in it?

And most importantly—who is really watching? The people, or Spirit?
