When one hears the term Spiritual Healing it often brings around preconceived ideas largely based on misconceptions. Although there is a plethora of information on this topic online, it still carries with it certain stigmas – many of which are largely untrue. This form of healing sits alongside orthodox approaches to medicine and is not designed to be used as an alternative.

What is Spiritual Healing?

Dating back to Egyptian and Babylonian civilizations around 10,000 BC, spiritually infused healings have grown in popularity over the past few decades and it involves the practice of overcoming problems or issues rooted in the spiritual self. Using spiritual energy to overcome negative energies that exist, the aim is to rid a person of these deep rooted spiritual energies.

Most energy healers will use life energy that is associated with one particular culture or tradition and may include the use of the healing energy of Chi, Reiki and Shakti to mention a few. These energies are harvested by energy healers and will either increase the quantity or flow of energy in the patient or perhaps redistribute the energy flow more evenly through the patient’s body.

Can Spiritual Healing Work For Anyone?

A common misconception is that spiritual healing is based on religion or faith. This is quite simply not true and spiritual healing is in fact practiced on children, adults, animals and even babies. There are a number of highly regarded case studies where spiritual healing has had a positive impact on all of these groups and as you can imagine, faith is not a consideration for babies and animals.

The key to success for spiritual healing is for the person accessing it to try and keep an open mind. If a negative attitude is displayed by the patient then the chances of success are greatly diminished.

What To Expect From Spiritual Healing?

As stated earlier, it is important to note that spiritual healing should not be used as an alternative to orthodox medical practices and rather it should be that traditional medicine and spiritual healing should be used in tandem. It is unrealistic to expect that this type of healing alone will cure physical symptoms (although this can happen) but by using spiritual healing with orthodox medical approaches there is a greater possibility of physical and spiritual cure.

Apart from having an open mind, another important factor to consider when wanting to achieve the best results from spiritual healing is how relaxed you feel as a patient. A good spiritual healer will do their utmost to make you feel relaxed and this might be achieved through the environment you work in, the clothes you are wearing (typically you will be asked to remove outdoor clothes) and the relaxation methods used by the healer.

How Long Does Spiritual Healing Take?

Generally speaking, the process of spiritual healing is exactly that… a process. It is not something that takes place over just one session but there is also not a ‘one size fits all’ approach so you should be prepared to be flexible.

The duration of each session will typically last between 10 and 20 minutes although it can be longer and you should expect to take part in a consultation or session at least once per week as part of your treatment.

What Can A Spiritual Healer Cure?

Whilst it is unlikely that spiritual healing will cure physical ailments that have physical reasons at the root core of the problem, there are a number of studies that show that spiritual healers will have a positive impact on physical ailments that have spiritual or psychological reasons at the root core. Where a physical remedy is available it is perhaps advisable to use this as it is likely that a large amount of spiritual energy would be required to cure it as opposed to a relatively small amount of physical energy.

Why Use Energy Healing?

People use spiritual and energy healing for a number of purposes and as we have touched on already it is also practiced on animals and babies. It works at both ends of the spectrum of life and almost everything in between. Patients who are nearing death will partake in spiritual healing to ease the fear of the transition in to death and can be beneficial to the family too. At the other end of the life cycle, energy healing is also used to help couples conceive and it is often the positive mind set attributed to spiritual healing that brings success in this area.

In Summary

Spiritual healing when applied in the right way, with the right practitioner and the right open minded approach by the patient can bring around astonishing results. Anyone who feels that they need to redress the balance in their spiritual harmony or feels that using this energy to atone for unbalance in their life can certainly benefit from consulting with a good spiritual healer.
