Healing -
Spiritual healing is closely related to the work of the medium, in that both require contact with the spirit world. Spirit guides or spirit doctors channel healing energies through the healer or medium into the body of the patient. If we accept that those in spirit have a knowledge which far exceeds our own, then it follows they must know how to effect cures in a way which is beyond our comprehension.
Therefore the healer (medium) is not the cause of the cure, but rather a bridge for healing power, bringing that power to the patient via his/her contact with spirit doctors. Healers can often identify a complaint without being told, instinctively laying their hands on the affected area. Depending on the condition of the patient and severity of the complaint, cures can be effected almost immediately or take many sessions. Not all who ask are cured of course, there may be many reasons for this, but the number of people who have at least received some relief from their ailments, is amazingly high.
If you think you could benefit from trying healing for yourself, contact your local spiritualist church. They usually have an open evening in the week, which is either free of charge, or by donation.
One last thought on this introduction, as successful as healing has proved to be, you should always continue with any medicines and hospital treatment you have been prescribed. Likewise, you should consult a doctor if you have a complaint.
Healers can sometimes sense changes in people, for example I decided to offer healing to friend of mine. I knew from her past that she normally ate a very balanced and nutritious diet. However within minutes of the healing process, I told her that her eating habits had changed and that she was eating a lot of junk food. She admitted that it was true. I could then explain that her body was not used to it. We don't often give advice, the healing will either help or not and stands on it's own success. But we sometimes find that our various abilities cross over allowing even more help to those that require it.
Absent Healing
Apart from the method of laying on hands, there is another form of healing that has
gained recognition -
Many churches, healers and psychic development groups hold an absent healing list. This is a list where people can write down the name of someone they feel needs help, along with their ailment. This list is then used by the healing group to send out thoughts to those who need it.
The thoughts are directed to those in spirit, the spirit doctors can act on these thoughts and begin to effect cures.
To a certain extent we have covered a good part of this in the above text, but it is worth expanding a little further. Man is composed of three parts, the mind, the body and the spirit, when the three are in harmony good health follows. But should the balance become unstable, illness can result. Conventional medicine therefore tends to deal with physical symptoms only. Healing however concentrates on the subtle levels of spirit and mind. The idea being, to restore the harmony and balance that gave cause to the illness. Once the healing is directed to the patient, inner tensions are reduced, and the patients own system is able to concentrate on the healing process.
What's involved?
People new to healing often describe their first experience as very relaxing and soothing, sometimes uplifting and refreshing. The medical profession is even beginning to recommend this type of treatment. There are probably many cultures throughout the world that have a similar form of healing, but the amazing results are what ultimately count.
A healer will usually enquire as to how he can help, but often this is not necessary, as they have a wonderful way of being able to sense what's wrong. You can sit in a chair or lay down, whichever you prefer, the healer then begins by either holding your hands or placing his hands on your shoulders. This initial contact helps them to link to you. Once the link is formed they may concentrate on the area that is of concern, either by placing their hands on that area or holding them a few inches away.
Try to relax and have a positive attitude as this will aid the healing process. While the healer is working you may notice that a sensation of heat, slight tingling or trembling emanates from his hands, all good signs that healing is taking place.
