Spiritual Healing

What to expect and what can be gained from Spiritual Healing

Healing is a form of energy – a spiritual energy, emanating from a spiritual source, which flows through the healer into a person’s or animal’s spiritual body, which we all have as well as our physical counterparts. Following healing, the rejuvenated spiritual self stimulates the physical body and mind interaction, reproducing a healthy state of body, mind and spirit.

Although healing energy can not be seen, it can often be felt or experienced as warmth or mild tingling. There are other forms of energy, such as electricity and radio waves, which are unseen but are known to exist by their effects. So because we can not see healing energy, or fully understand how it works, this does not mean that it does not exist or that it can not produce results.

Healing is very safe – although very powerful. With spiritual healing, there are no adverse side effects, only positive results to be gained. During its long existence, there has never apparently been a recorded case of anyone being injured or dying from it! What it does do is to ‘kick start’ the body into healing itself.

Healing works independently of a person’s mind or beliefs. Belief that spiritual healing will work is not necessary to effect a cure. Therefore the term ‘faith healing’ might be somewhat misleading, as this suggests that healing will only occur if the individual believes that he or she will be cured. This is not the case, because numerous cures through absent healing have been recorded by healers, where the recipient has been healed although unaware that healing has been given. Successful healing has been carried out on animals, young children and also people of a sceptical nature! However, having an ‘open mind’ is helpful.

Although spiritual healing operates independently of the subject’s mind, when the patient has a positive attitude this can have the added benefit of assisting the healing. It has been proved, for instance, that our blood pressure can be lowered or raised by thought and that our bodies can adapt to extreme temperature changes through suggestion, as well as other physical manifestations appearing or disappearing through mind power. Apparently, one can induce such things as blisters and rashes by suggestion – and also have them removed by the same means. So, we can do a great deal to help ourselves by positive thought, thinking ourselves well.

People in good health can also benefit from spiritual healing, as the energy they receive helps to keep body, mind and spirit healthy and harmonious – and could help prevent future health problems. A well-known healer and author recommends spiritual healing for everyone three or four times a year, to help maintain optimum health. The effectiveness of preventative healing has been proven.

Stress There has been a great deal written about stress and it is agreed that stress can place an intolerable burden upon the system, causing all sorts of problems. If the body is continually bombarded with various chemicals, brought about by stress, eventually the system breaks down in one way or another. The breakdown usually occurs at our weakest point, which is genetically determined and inherent in all of us.

If a genetic ‘weak spot’ is apparent, for example a child with eczema, or someone suffering with a chronic complaint such as arthritis, high blood pressure, depression or back problems, regular ‘top up’ treatments may be necessary at appropriate intervals to help prevent recurrence.

There are still aspects of healing that are, to a large extent, unexplained. Why, for instance, some are cured and others not. Healing will not stop the aging process. Perhaps there are positive experiences to be gained from our disabilities. We tend to develop the attributes of compassion and sympathy towards those who have suffered the same complaint or misfortune as ourselves. To be able to relate to others who have shared our experiences can develop lasting qualities. If healing has appeared not to have worked for you, do try again at some later date, perhaps with a different healer, as this could now be the time for you to be healed.
