The Practice of Spiritual Healing

By Randi Fredricks

For every one of us life is an exploration. To begin to understand your energies, you need to take control or your life and, most importantly, give yourself time just to be.

If we are not completely swamped by problems we can bring about a deepening of our own wisdom and compassion for others.

Typically spiritual healing is used to shift subtle energy patterns that may be obstructing the healthy functioning of life in the ordinary world of mind, body and soul.

Healing is usually directed to an individual but it can also be helpfully sent to practically any collection of beings or situations. In general the more specific the target for healing is, the more energy that is available to promote recovery and well-being.

Spiritual Healing compliments conventional medicine by channelling life energy to the patient in order to help them recover from illness, injury or distress.

Spiritual healing is now beginning to be recognised in the west but in the east has been acknowledged for thousands of years. 'Chi' and 'Prana' are two of the better known names for these energies. The simplest way to describe it is as the 'life force'.

Healing energy can be directed by the healer's consciousness and may flow through the hands of over any distance. This spiritual energy can help speed up the natural healing process of the body and improves recovery time.

Spiritual healing is a natural energy that flows through the healer to the subject being healed. You do not have to believe in it for it to work and although we believe it comes from God/the universe - no religious faith is required. It is a natural energy that most people have to some extent and which can be used alongside conventional medicine.

Each one of us has a special destiny and it is our right and privilege to work towards it. The friends we choose, the family we grow up with, our beliefs, our habits, the mistakes we make, the community we create--they are all our own learnings, challenges and spiritual gifts.

No matter how up or down you are now, or how rocky and twisted your road has been, you are to be honoured and respected--for you have come a long way on the road of life and your path on that road is important and unique. It is in accord with the greater whole that we all simply want to be happy and ok and hope for a better tomorrow.
