Healing

HEALING - Sally Chaffer, Catherine Hirst, Kathleen Judd, Su Mason, Sue Taylor, Shurzanne Williamson

People who have long-term health problems and people who work as carers often feel low in energy and ‘unbalanced’. Natural Healing helps to restore the energy balance of the body, mind and spirit so people then have the energy to help heal themselves. Natural healing can bring about a sense of well-being and inner peace.

What is it?

Healing is a completely natural process that promotes better health. The channeling of healing energies through the healer to the patient brings this about. The aim of healing is to bring all aspects of the self (mind, body and spirit) into harmony and balance. Healing re-energises and relaxes, so that the body’s natural resources are enabled to deal with illness or injury in the best possible way.

It can be helpful in a wide range of physical, psychological, spiritual and emotional conditions, sometimes to a remarkable degree. The nature of the illness is irrelevant to the outcome.

In addition to its value in relieving pain and restoring function, healing is also notable for initiating improvements in patients' attitudes, clarity of thought, and quality of life.

Healing takes place fully clothed with the healer placing their hands on or above the person receiving healing. The person is likely to feel warm, comfortable and relaxed throughout the session and likely to leave with an enhanced feeling of relaxation, inner peace and wellbeing.

You do not need faith for healing to help you. Healers work from a wide range of philosophies and many see their ability as a natural resource. Nothing special is expected of the patient except perhaps openness to what might happen. An awareness of the need for change and the motivation to do so can also be helpful.

How long is healing needed before benefit is seen?

Sometimes healing is successful in one treatment. Far more often, the improvement is gradual. It is rare for anyone to receive healing over a period of time without feeling some benefit.

Does healing influence medical treatment?

No. Healing is complementary to orthodox medical treatment and does not interfere with it in any way. NHS doctors often refer patients for healing.

Who are the healers?

The healers are trained to high professional standards through The Healing Trust (previously known as the National Federation of Spiritual Healers), which has a respected Code of Conduct.
