Spiritual Healing refers to a myriad of forms of vibrational and energy healing. Instead of using pharmaceutical pills or drugs, a spiritual healer administers touch and energy by channeling and manipulating spiritual energy. The whole principle of spiritual healing is that we are all more than our physical body and that illnesses start in our field of energy and eventually manifest as a disease when left untreated. Spiritual healers believe that by changing the individual’s spiritual energy flow, they can help to heal the individual and bring them back to wellness. There are many types of spiritual energy and many forms of spiritual healing, however, some of the most common include contact hands-on healing treatments, distant healing, crystal healing, qigong, reiki, esoteric healing, pranic healing and therapeutic touch. Spiritual healers support the “patient” and help them to heal themselves by removing blockages in the energy flow. Reiki Developed in the early 20th century by a Japanese Buddhist, reiki practitioners practice a form of hands-on healing, involving placing the hands over or onto the body so that healing energy can be transferred from their hands to the patient. When the energy enters the patient’s body, it travels to the spot where it is most needed. Qigong This form of spiritual healing is practiced to retain the balance of the energy and physical bodies. It involves coordinated body movements and posture together with meditation and breathing to stimulate good health. Therapeutic Touch This healing practice is carried out by practitioners who are sensitive to the energy field surrounding the patient’s body, feeling its state and manipulating or helping it to heal by removing any blockages. Shiatsu This Japanese bodywork treatment is based on Chinese traditional medicine, using massage with the palms, feet, and thumbs as well as finger pressure. It brings the flow of chi within the body in harmony with itself. Pranic Healing This healing modality works with chi or prana energy in order to heal illnesses and physical conditions. Similar to acupuncture and yoga it treats the energy field and, in turn, the physical body. Crystal Healing This healing form uses living stones and crystals to bring energies to the patient’s body to promote healing or to imbue the mind and body with particular traits. Crystals are said to resonate with various chakras which link the etheric body with the physical one, opening the chakras to balance the whole system. They can also turn lower energy into a higher vibrational energy to improve health. Crystals may be placed onto areas of the patient’s body, worn or carried. There are many types of spiritual healing, and while none can guarantee a complete return to full health, many people find relief from the conditions that they are suffering from. Although doctors in Western medicine are not yet convinced of the benefits of all forms of spiritual healing, it is clear that in many cases using spiritual energy as a healing modality has helped some patients to improve their health and their quality […]
A Guide To Spiritual Healing
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 […]
