Spiritual Healing (NFSH)

What is Spiritual Healing?

The Latin origin of the word ‘spiritual’ is ‘spiritus’ and means ‘breath of life’. Spiritual healing is not linked with any religion nor is it ‘faith healing’.  Spiritual healing refers to an energy that works on a deep level within our spiritual or energetic body.  To receive spiritual or energetic healing the recipient of healing does not need to have a religious faith, nor does s/he need to believe in spiritual healing.   

The National Federation of Spiritual Healers (NFSH), now known as The Healing Trust, defines spiritual healing as ‘A treatment that involves the transfer of energy through the healer to the recipient. It promotes self-healing by relaxing the body, releasing tensions and strengthening the body’s own immune system. Healing is natural and non-invasive with the intention of bringing the recipient into a state of balance and wellbeing on all levels’.

How does spiritual healing work?

Our whole bodies are built from small energy units called atoms.  These in turn combine to produce molecules and molecules combine to produce a substance or compound within our bodies. Within our bodies there are chemical reactions occurring all the time that use and release energy. There are areas of heightened activity associated with organs and the location of ‘chakras’ (Hindu word for ‘wheel of light’. Each chakra has its own vibration and are linked with a respective energy shield or ‘aura’ around the body. There are also meridians or energy channels that run throughout our bodies. Our bodies interact with other life forms, the planet earth and the universe we live in. A constant flow of energy taking place on many levels.

Spiritual healing involves the transfer of energy. This energy is referred to as Universal or Divine (meaning originator of all energy) energy. The transfer of Universal energy to the recipient of healing takes place via a healer who is acting like a conduit. The Universal energy channelled can be for the mind, body and spirit and can be directed through the intention of the healer or recipient.

 

How can Spiritual Healing help?

If the flow of energy within our bodies is restricted it is often referred to as ‘blocked’. In health the energies flow freely, and the body is considered as being in balance and dis-ease free. When the body is not in balance that is when the chakra points or meridians are depleted in their energy, they cannot perform effectively and leads to the body’s natural mental, emotional, physical and spiritual functions suffering, and this can lead to dis-ease or illness.

Today stress is a common condition that is considered a norm but it isn’t. It is a state of fright, flight or fight and means that the sympathetic part of our autonomic nervous system is constantly being triggered. There are two parts to our autonomic nervous system, the sympathetic and parasympathetic. When we are well these two parts re in a balance. The parasympathetic is active when we are relaxed, our bodies functioning perfectly and able to heal itself.

 Special photography has shown that Universal or Divine energy focused onto the human body through the auras of the recipient, can change the auras by increasing the ‘spiritual vibrations or energy’. Rebalancing the body’s depleted energies can improve the recipient’s health and ability to grow as a person mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually. This process may take repeated treatments.
