Overview

Spiritual Healing is the practice of attuning to Divine or Life Force energy, by meditative means or prayer, to be the instrument or the means through which this energy can be channelled to a person, place or object, present or not, via the Hands of Loving Thoughts, to have beneficial effect upon the person as a whole, or any or all levels of Body, Mind and Spirit.

History

The word 'healing' comes from the Anglo-Saxon word 'healan' that connotes both the body and the spiritual element of the human being as the things to be healed. We have always had the power to heal ourselves. It is instinctive to use our hands to comfort those in pain or distress.

In ancient times there was no division between body, mind and spirit, so that energy was understood as a force, which permeated this trinity. With the development of science and the shift away from spirituality the health professionals separated the three parts and focussed their attention on the more physical, material body.

The second development was the outlawing of healing outside the Christian Church, and the systematic execution of lay healers and psychics. Healing only becoming legal again in 1951. The centuries of such persecution have been so powerful that even today there is much ignorance and fear surrounding our healing birthright.

The Legacy of these historical events has been that medicine and healthcare have evolved without a spiritual base. However during the last 20 years people have become less satisfied with the scientific explanations of their existence and begun their own spiritual searching.

Everyone can heal, the gift of healing is not new, it is being re-discovered. The results of healing are showing it is longer to be seen as a last resort. The associations such as the NFSH, CHO and BCMA are negotiating for medical recognition for healing as what it is, and always has been, a powerful complimentary therapy.

Benefits

These benefits include longer life, better overall well-being, better recovery from surgery, better ability to cope with life-threatening diseases and lowered depression and anxiety.

Procedure

The main difference between Spiritual Healing and other healing modalities is that most of the healing is done while working off the body, in the aura or energy field. The healer may place his/her hands on your shoulders in order to make contact, but will then take his/her hands about 6 to 12 inches away from the body and slowly move them around you at that distance.

The energies that Spiritual Healers work with can be very gentle, or very powerful; they may release emotions or may just provide you with a wonderful coloured light show on your inner eye. Relax and enjoy the sensations.
