Is there value including a healing request in my Lightworker Healing Protocol to help people connect better with their subconscious, analogous to repairing the connection to their higher self, or would that entail risks?

Yes, indeed this would be of tremendous value, equally important for the proper ideal functioning and balance for a healthy life experience, and a fuller expression of human capability. The downside would be that in some instances where the connection has been blocked, to suddenly be aware of the inner turmoil more directly would be perceived as a sudden worsening of things and even considered to be a new problem that is undesirable. This you have seen a time or two with clients who had difficulty doing healing work with you and would complain you were making them worse. What in actuality was happening is that the issues that you were working through them to heal began to repair the awareness of the subconscious level of their mind, and then they were perceiving more and more of the underlying discord in those deep layers and this became quite distressing. There is a delicate balance here and what we would suggest is that you include this as an aspect of the protocol, with the admonition to have this phased in over time in a safe way, to not throw the person off balance and increase the discomfort for their ongoing life, and this should address the problem. There may be occasionally a super-sensitive person that will nonetheless be perturbed unduly by the exercise, but this can happen with other healing work as well and will right itself, in time. What will happen when the connections are made more accessible is that too great an emotional awareness and disturbance, stemming from the opening of the linkages, will simply cause the system to once again dial back and regain an even keel by once again suppressing the information. There is a natural mechanism to help suppress too great an emotional reaction and this is part of the normal human complement of the emotional regulation, so that people have a failsafe mechanism to prevent emotional overwhelm. And so you need not be worried about sending someone over a cliff, for example, and taking rash action to escape, for example by ending their life or even to have a meltdown in some way and need emergency assistance. So the benefits far outweigh the liabilities here. You are making up for many millennia of suppression and subjugation, here. There will be some growing pains, but they are a minor issue compared to the needs of humanity to regain their true majesty and the ongoing control of their very being and its expression.
