Healing Is a Gift, a Practice, and a Responsibility: Sound and Crystal Healer Pooja Seth on the True Meaning of Being a Channel

In a world increasingly turning towards holistic well-being, sound and crystal healer Pooja Seth believes that healing is neither a miracle nor a shortcut, but a sacred responsibility that demands inner work, discipline, and humility. According to her, healing operates on two levels — as an innate gift and as a learnable practice guided by intention and surrender to the Divine.
“Some people are born with a natural healing touch, but anyone can learn to heal if their intentions are pure and they are willing to walk the path with dedication,” says Pooja. However, she insists that the journey always begins within. A healer, she explains, must first confront and resolve their own emotional and energetic wounds. “If a person carries unhealed patterns, they will keep attracting similar cases. Without self-awareness and ego dissolution, the work cannot be clean.”
Training and mentorship, she adds, play a vital role in grounding a healer. While books provide theoretical knowledge, a mentor offers experiential wisdom and ethical guidance. “Certification today builds credibility, but a true teacher gives you tools to become independent, not dependent,” she notes.
For beginners, Pooja recommends foundational practices such as breathwork, meditation, yoga, and learning to protect one’s aura. Listening, she believes, is more important than technique. “A healer must hear what the soul is saying, not just the words. Greed, impatience, or the hunger for recognition weakens the channel.”
She also cautions against the illusion of ‘readiness’. Healing, according to her, is a lifelong process of learning and refinement. “The day you think you have arrived, the ego has already entered. Healing is not about becoming special; it is about becoming empty enough for grace to flow through.”
For Pooja Seth, the true power of healing lies in surrender. “We do not heal. We are healed through, and others are healed through us. When a healer understands this, the work becomes pure, grounded, and guided by something far greater than the self.”
