Spiritual Healing
             

Spiritual healing cannot easily be defined or measured, yet persistent progress is being made (please see the link at bottom of this page for information on a scientific journal on the Study of Subtle Energies and Energy Medicine).  Spiritual healing can most certainly be experienced by the recipient as an inflow of divine energy, the warmth of love, as deep relaxation, tranquility, a radiation of higher frequencies or energies releasing blockages of negative energies such as fear, anxiety, or doubt.  Healing restores harmony where previously there was some kind of imbalance or hold up in the energy system of the individual who was suffering.  Spiritual healing is the transference of energy from one person or group of people to another.  Spiritual healing is not opposed in any way to conventional medical treatment.  It may be complementary as an adjunct to medical treatment, or it may stand on its own as a unlimited source of healing power which ultimately comes from God (some people may prefer the phrase Universal life force or Universal love).

Spiritual healing can be given on a one to one basis.  This may be called Contact Healing or Healing Touch or the Laying On of Hands.  Healing energy flows through the hands of the healer to the patient.  Usually there is a very light touch or the hands are placed above the body near the area that needs additional focus.  Often the healer will work with the chakras or energy centers of the body to restore balance and increase the flow of the life force through the physical body and also the energy field or aura surrounding the body.  There may be a sense of warmth, tingling, or deep relaxation.  In some instances there may be a deep emotional release and an opening of the heart chakra to the inflow of divine love bringing lasting peace and a spiritual cleansing for the patient.  Physical cures for all kinds of suffering are possible with spiritual healing.  However, we cannot force our will in any adverse circumstances but it is always best to surrender to the will of God in seeking a physical cure for our dis-ease.  Normally there will be a gradual improvement in our health and a restoration to wholeness.  Of course, our healing can be facilitated by our own choices in nutrition, exercise, positive belief, and relaxation training.

One form of this type of light touch or hands on healing that I have recently found to be very helpful is Cranial Sacral Therapy.  This can be a great aide in deep relaxation and boosting the body’s natural healing processes and immunity.  For more information describing Cranial Sacral treatment click here.
 

A second type of spiritual healing is called Absent or Distance healing.  Here the patient is receiving positive or healing energy from a distance.  Different forms of distance healing are available, some at no cost to the patient.  One that I am most familiar with, both as a patient and as a trained healer, is through The White Eagle Lodge.  The absent healing program is free of charge and is administered at St. John’s Retreat Center in Texas.  Click here for more information about White Eagle  healing services. 

If you would like to read my personal story of overcoming years of intense struggle with bipolar disorder with the support of White Eagle absent healing (a free service) click here.  I received tremendous support from the generosity of the White Eagle healers for a period of six years (1995 to 2001).  I also benefited a great deal from the loving and gentle guidance of White Eagle as a spiritual teacher.

In the late summer of 2007 I met a spiritual healer at a Unity workshop whose name is Dr. Saul Shaye.  From my personal experience with a phone healing session with Dr. Shaye, and the positive experience of my wife and son, I am happy to provide this link to his web site.  Dr. Shaye is a man of few words, and the distance healing session takes only 15 minutes, but it is well worth it.  What a gift!  The healing energy provides a much needed boost and a spiritual cleansing of the chakras or energy centers within the body.  God offers us many ways to come back to the path of love and light if we find ourselves off center and in need of help.  Please feel free to email me if you have any questions about spiritual healing (jaybus@current.net).
 

Another form of distance healing (or hands on healing) that is widely available is Reiki.  For a concise description of Reiki and its health benefits click here. 

There are many forms of spiritual healing in the world today.  Some forms will be more suitable than others depending upon our beliefs and psychological preferences.  Each of us must find our own way trusting in our inner guidance and the assistance of others who care for us.
