Healing may be described as an energy from a Divine
Source. This source is perceived in many different ways which may
have been structured and influenced by family religion, communities lived in
or personal religious choice in adulthood. Some have no thoughts or belief
whatsoever.
However, a
common thread amongst all belief systems is a faith in a Divine Source that
creates all things - no matter what name it is given. If we perceive the
Divine source as the creative force behind all life, then we would also
recognise that this energy is found within our world of nature. Most are
aware of the healing properties within all the elements of our natural
world. So, it follows that wherever as an individual we understand Healing
energy to come from - it all originates from that source.
The aim of spiritual healing is to restore
balance of body, mind and spirit - an "holistic" approach. There is nothing
magical or mystical about healing, it is a perfectly natural process - a
natural flow of Divine energy channelled through the healing medium to the
recipient. This brings positive energy into the energy field of the patient
creating changes that can in turn promote healing within the physical,
mental, emotional and spiritual bodies of the patient.
Healing mediums are ordinary people who
have made the choice to unfold the ability to channel healing energy to
those in need. They open their spiritual mind, thus enabling them to channel
the energy to the spiritual mind and body of the patient, often assisted by
guides, or helpers from the spirit world, eventually, sometimes instantly,
having a positive effect for the patient.
Healing can assist any ailment, whether it
is to relieve stress, bring relief from great pain, to assist the healing
process of injury or sickness, or to convey a sense of peace and calm to
someone preparing to leave this world. However, a
healer can never promise to exact a cure - they are purely the
channel for the Divine source. Patients must understand that often
possibility of complete cure will rest upon their decision to make changes
within their own lives - to find and deal with the cause, rather than just
the effect. It may be the patient is going through a certain experience to
enhance their own understanding or spiritual growth. This may explain why
healing works in some instances and not others.
No healing
energy is wasted, it will be beneficial in some way, even if it is not
obvious to the patient - it may purely touch and strengthen the spirit or
bring about a sense of inner peace.
Healing can work for anyone, no matter what
faith, or even if there is no faith. It is beneficial nonetheless, when
receiving healing to have an open mind to all possibilities - for both
healer and patient.
